When warm weather
arrives, my mind and soul wander off to the beach. (Unfortunately, my body just
doesn’t always get the chance to go) Whether it’s New England or the Gulf
coast, I am physically and emotionally drawn to sand and surf.
So welcome to my new blog series…
‘Monday at the Beach’
Let’s
go...
Newport Beach
This cottage maintains the surf culture of the area and preserves the
elements of the cottage that makes it so unique and charming.
Exotic Living Room
The living room was decorated with generous upholstered pieces to ensure
maximum comfort. The corduroy, leather, and vintage grain sack upholstery
encourages lounging, while batik prints in rich reds and marine blues provide
an exotic beat.
Island-Style
Bedroom
Batik prints in the same color palette as the living room are used in the
bedroom against a backdrop of crisp white. A John Severson watercolor painting
of Waikiki Beach
Cozy Dining Room
Woven accents—a sea grass rug, a painted wicker chair—plus a few nautical
nods, such as the brass pendant fixture, keep the mood casual and the focus on
the water.
Subtle Nautical
Kitchen
The kitchen’s 1950s rope-and-wood chairs and the sailboat prints exude
nautical style without being over the top.
What do you think of this cute little cottage?
Is it move-in ready for you?
Many thanks
go to my friends at Coastal Living for their help with this.
