I know this has been done to death, but I for one never get tired of coastal-themed interiors (and besides, I am having so much fun with all this beachy stuff this week, just indulge me)! My life-long goal is to own a house on the beach, most of the time it seems completely pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking but then there are other times when I think, why not? Why couldn’t it happen to me? It will be filled with wide distressed floorboards, hand-crocheted throws, jars of sea shells and beach sand, soft natural colours, large abundant windows, painted wooden shutters. Or… you know, something like that. I haven’t really thought about it… much. :)
How about you? Are you a beach cottage dreamer?

ReplyDeleteso many pretty photos. that bathroom with all the starfish is so cool!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely I'm a beach cottage dreamer. I'd LOVE a house by the beach. Getting to view the ocean every day from your door or window sounds divine. Maybe a vacation house? Someday.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, having a beach home or at least have the chance to spend a lot of time in one is truely a dream! Waking up and hearing the waves of the Sea, feeling a fresh but still warm breeze, wide open windows and flattering curtains, sand under my feet when doing yoga in the early morning ... should stop daydreaming ;)
ReplyDeleteI am a cottage dreamer and anything by the sea - need a vacation, too! That shelving in the bathroom is unique and so effective and it does not take up space. Love the view from the dining table. So serene.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos.. you should head to a great blog coastal nest. She remodeled a beautiful seaworthy cottage..so cute. Enjoyed your blog.

Love these! I pinned that tablescape with the runner- so pretty! I would LOVE a house on the beach. I grew up in Florida and would always admire the gorgeous homes on the beach and think how lucky the people who lived in them were to have a view like that and to be able to step out their back door and be on the beach. I can't imagine anything more amazing!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah and thanks for checking out my guest post yesterday!!
So clever how these spaces can look elegant, yet relaxed. it's a very popular look here in New Zealand, as most of us live very close to the sea. xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images Meghan! And I love how much of this look can translate well to any home. Timber, white, linen, etc are so classic and timeless!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely a beach cottage dreamer! In fact, I even know what house on what beach. Unfortunately, it's just a little out of the price range at $850K! But one of these days, I will definitely live the dream, even it's on a smaller scale :-)

What a lovely collection of beachy images! I can't wait for the summer and some beach time. I am, as we speak, creating a coat rack for my inlaw's beach house with that Emerson quote (your last pic). It's a such a great quote!
