Am heading back to the states today…leaving splendid Paris behind. So I thought I would add in a post of an all American home today!
This design glimpse is from a brand new seasside cottage in Fairfield, CT. The interior spaces were wonderfully designed by Lynn Morgan and beautifully shot by photographer Jeff McNamara.
This “cottage” is 4 bedrooms in 5000 square feet of house…I only wish my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills was a fraction of the size. Just goes to show you there are cottages and then there are “cottages”. I would like the kind of cottage that goes in quotation marks…btw…
Anyhoooo…the house is a gray shingle style home with a gray and white theme. Lynn used lots of stripes, bleached and pale furniture and white lacquer beadboard throughout to create a serene elegantly casual family home.
Love the use of grey here and the bold stripes. These spaces work for me. Preppy, beachy, traditional with a tiny tiny hint of modern thrown in. Nicely designed indeed!
What do you think of this little glimpse of this seaside “cottage”? Any room you must have? I rather like the scene with the painting and table…reminds me that good design can be rooted in calm simplicity. What do you think of the gray and stripes? Do tell!
Happy Wednesday!

oh i am in love with that gray living room! perfect…simple!
Hi! 5000 square feet doesn’t qualify as a cottage in my world. This is a lovely home posing as a cottage. I love a real cottage, small, not overly decorated, more about the outside than the inside… not too decorated and not too stark. I really adore your blog!
So serene and peaceful. Would love to know the gray paint colors used if that information is available!
Does anyone know the paint color for the walls. I love them!
I love the gray and white stripes. It looks so fresh. Great pictures. Hope you had a great vacation.
Oh I just love the gray stripes and that little nice table under the picture 🙂 From Sweden
I just love it!
love that chair fabric!!
Gray is THE color!
It´s easy to combine, and you barely get tired of it.
Where are the chairs from?? Gorgeous!!
I’d love to replicate this living room. I absolutely love it. I have tried for days to find out the color & furniture info…to no avail. Is there any way you could possibly post the color & furniture (sofas & chairs) details? Thanks so much!
