This is an unusually pretty beach house that I like because it's tastefully done without a plethora of shells, rope and plastic crabs.  I'm not a fan of anything having to do with the ocean, being a mountain girl.  With a few minor alterations, I could make it contemporary Southwestern. 


So funny about the plastic crabs!  Kills me when an ocean front home worth millions has a Dollar Tree sign that says *BEACH .... THIS WAY =====>>>*.  Really?

 

My homes are walking distance to the shoreline, but the only things I have to show for it are pieces of driftwood that I use for doorstops and sea glass that I collected.  Shells are kept in garden.

 

I love mountains, too, but the thought of being land locked is suffocating.

@ECBG  I love this room!  The only thing that I would change would be that one chair as it does not look like is belongs in this room.  It just looks too formal, but it does look like it has some type of padding on the back to make it more comfortable.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@ECBG  The outer banks of north carolina. Been only a few times years ago, as it is a bit far for me to go. Usually go to oak island, north myrtle, Bald head island, been to Nags head a couple of times and Savanna, GA. If we ever get thru this pandamic husband and I want to go to the low country of south carolina for about a month.  He was a marine recruit at Paris island at the age of 17 many years ago. I really want to get back to the outer banks around corolla sometime.Natural scenery is what I like, Hopefully one day i will be able to get back to the mountains again in the fall season. I remeber talking to you about living there.

Re: Beach Cottage Love

I like much of the decor in the Hamptons because it is coastal in its airy appearance but not kitschy.

 

But you did a fine job of decorating this one, ECBG.  I might not like everything about it but I do love the airiness.  Glad you told us that you were an interior designer.  I had no idea you attended the school of architecture/interior design.  That is not unusual, however, for someone who majors in architecture/interior design to extend oneself into jewelry/fashion design or cooking.  It seems it all works together.

This is simply amazing!  I could feel myself just getting in a more relaxed state just looking at it and imagining myself there!  Nothing about it that I don't love!

I love it..so peaceful and inviting. If you have some sand on your feet from a day at the beach you can sweep it right out the door.

Love everything about this room.
