BEACH COTTAGE COOL!

January 2, 2013
  • Share
white stairs with wood trim, wicker chair, green sofa, brown leather bag with newspaper and purple scarf by Peter Dunham

I love this little beach house featured in this month’s House Beautiful.   A house apparently transformed from an ordinary stucco into an open and airy space fitting for seaside living.  The house re-imagined by designer Peter Dunham.  He used lots of natural materials as accents throughout the home – wicker, rush, abaca and rope.  Fresh, bright, cheerful and accessible.  I wouldn’t mind cozying up here!

bedroom with canopy bed, a striped sofa and gorgeous accent pillows by Peter Dunham

What do you think of this cute cottage?  Anything you like here.  I love the entry with the fretwork banister and I love the breakfast dining area with the banquette seating.

Happy New Year!

Happy Wednesday!

P.P.S.  Hope you had a fantastic New Year!

    Im with you on the dining room that banquette is amazing and the collection of art above it would make it my favorite place to sit in the whole house! This home is Fab!

    House Beautiful used to be such a great decorating magazine. Now I find that I flip through it at the bookstore to see if there’s any reason to buy it. Nine times out of ten I don’t end up buying it because it’s just so blah. If these pictures are any indication, the new issue looks like another one I’ll be skipping.

    This “cute cottage” is probably about a $10M house. Lido Island is outrageously (even for SoCal) expensive.

    Coco I think I like the whole house! And I’m not one to like a lot of color, but this house is warm and cozy. Love it!

    Happy New Year!!

Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’r Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’re a whole-house commitment. The right shade shows up in the cabinets, the walls, the vases, the trim, and somehow never feels like too much.
The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️
