COMFORTABLE DELAWARE BEACH HOUSE

Oznell — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 12:57:24 GMT

Felt the need for at least one more beach house, before the season winds down! This one strikes me as spacious and really, to me, would be so luxurious for year round, not just warm weather living. That's why my biggest objection would be the tile floors-- I prefer wood, especially if I'm going to be there in February!

The owner is an up and coming young male designer, and it does have a more masculine, less "adorned" or frilly feeling to me than some others. I appreciate that he's willing to go with a warmer palette than some of the rather blindingly white beach houses that are so ubiquitous now. Makes a nice change.

This corner, he says, acts as a sunroom for the lush plants:

Dining there would be so pleasant:

The owner said how much he values the blue and white china he inherited from one grandmother; here he houses it on a cupboard inherited from his other grandmother! It's those little personal touches I look for. Love the old books and shells mixed in, and especially that old sea faring painting above the curio:

This guest bedroom has a zingy feeling for me! The yellow walls are uplifting, and all the clean graphics are lively.

That "The Endless Summer" framed poster seems to be as much of a cult favorite now as the movie that it advertized!

The owner said he loves sea grass, baskets, all things woven-- the craftsmanship of them appeals to him. You can see that in the master bedroom, with that beautifully textured bed frame...

He also said that this little attic hideaway, one of the smallest rooms in the house, is his favorite. I can see it would be a nice retreat for a rainy day at the shore.

I'm always attracted to little corners like this within a room. This desk allows the room to function as a tucked-away study, and I love the contrast of the woven chair with the smooth metal desk:

I like that it has a warmer, more inviting feeling than a lot of others that are popular lately.

I don't love the bedrooms, but the public spaces are fabulous!

Too pale and boring for me. I need color.

I like everything about this home...the best is that it is not beachy....

I love it, and it is a nice change from all white and Blue..I would change a few things in the bedrooms, but for the most part, I love it!!!!!He did a great job putting things together and using a neutral palette...

Too bad I'm probably old enough to be his grandmother, or I'd say, "Let's get married!" (Reading more about him I realize this would never happen, age or not. But his fabulous aesthetic needs to be replicated in my house sooner than later. Wish I could afford a whole redo!)

You had me at the wovens. I'm a HUGE fan of woven furniture and decor, too. That chair in the last picture. My kitchen table has rattan legs and surrounding the solid top, and rattan chairs. I've had it since the 70s. Love, love, love. Would you believe the attached cushions STILL retain their loft?

This is a really good one, @Oznell

Very pretty but much too light and airy for me.

i really love just about everything in this house with the exception of the two non-upholstered chairs in the living room. are they wood/rattan? i don't care for them at all, but i LOVE everything else!

Beautiful! Not your typical looking beach house. I especially love the rattan furniture - reminds me of pieces my aunt had in her sun room back in the 1950's. Also love the blue china since I inherited some from my grandmother.

Looks to be a very nice house with good spaces and some nice elements. I especially like the large campaign style dresser, assuming that's what it is, and the stone fireplace. I feel you can never go wrong with a blue and white collection, even when, predictably, mixed with shells... Overall, a good bit of the rest of the decor isn't for me but the house has a nice feel.

While it is not completely my style, I do love it. I especially like the appeal of the living room and the art work is so peaceful and pretty!!!! I could easily hang out for awhile!!!!!

Love this beach house. My son and his wife are having a beach house built. This reminds me of theirs. She is doing all the decorating. Son says I will just go and sit there. He no longer goes. She has nice taste and it will be really nice.

For me it is just okay. I like the entry very much but not that crazy about the rest. Looks more staged than lived in & comfortable.
