Charming coastal cottages

I have loved the beach since I was a little girl - and a week spent lying on the beach with a new book is my idea of the perfect vacation. Time moves completely differently, and I've never caught myself thinking about work when I'm on a beach. It is also a lifelong dream to one day live close to a beach - or at least have a nice little beach home to escape to from time to time!

Amazing kitchen - small is beautiful!

If I ever got my own studio in Brooklyn, I would love to see if I could pull off a similar look - even in December it would be like coming back to a beach cottage.

*stunning*



Love the bedding - what a difference a cheery palette makes!


I'll be taking my coffee and muffin here tomorrow morning!

There is a lot of stigma associated with pink, but however it may make some cringe, one can't deny it's powers to soothe, calm, relax, and just make you smile.

I love this room. It's so happy. I love the mix of modern colors on more traditional furnishings.
