Tips to achieve the coastal design style, whether you're a beach bum at heart or just want to bring a slice of coastal charm into your landlocked home!
As promised here are some pictures of the Coastal Living Beach House in Rosemary . I have to confess...I am a little late to this party as there have been many bloggers who have beat me to the punch! I will post them at the end so you can get your fill of this beautiful home. You may or may not know that it was designed by Erika Powell of Urban Grace blog. She did a fabulous job and I was in love with the color scheme.....and well just about everything in it. Before I start with pictures, all of the paint colors were Pratt & Lambert paints...Gorgeous. I know you can't read these so I am going to break it down for you....or maybe you can cause y'all are young. I need something the size of a telescope to see. This place had me at the front door...which was painted Coos Bay 19-31. The window casings and garage door was Steel Wool 33-14. The body of the house was Seed Pearl 27-32. All perfect. Very pretty. Seed Pearl on the ceiling and a texture wallpaper on the walls.... Close up of wallpaper.... I loved this little vintage sewing kit.....and the plates. Nice little Circa Lighting lamp...which by the way...they did all of the lights. What is not to love right? In the master....brass throughout the place! Easy bed to make up....loving that slender pillow.... 2 chairs at the foot of the bed.....details. Closeup of a vintage brass bowl.... Guest room. Paint color was Moss Lake 19-30 It looks more green than it really was.... Love this trim...I think Lee Jofa. The pillow fabric is Kravet I think....pretty sure. If I am ever on Jeopardy and the category is fabrics then I might win...just sayin. More Circa to make you drool.... Trim on the curtains... This was a fun vintage painting in the bath. One of the baths. I viewed this house with my friend Cindy and she is not in the design business...so when I started drooling over the brass fixtures she looked at me like I sprouted horns. I am not sure that trend has reached the general public. More brass...she is still "scoffing" about it! I laugh because by the time it really catches on we will all be on to something else right? A little unsure where these were...my picture taking gets a little sketchy now....slacker. One of my favorite colors was in the master bath...Hesperia 25-30...Gawd. So dang pretty I almost licked it. Moving into the living area....It was hard taking pictures in here because for some reason they had let other people in during my "private tour".....:) Detail on one of the chairs. All the furniture was Lee Industries....my fav. Made in America. Uh huh. One of 2 seating areas. All the curtains were made by Drape98. They were beautiful and made from Sunbrella fabric. Love the dining area. More brass...and gray. Color of the walls was Ever Classic 32-24 Detailing on the headboard slipcover... Pretty Intaglios.... More Circa.....goodness. Bathroom knobs.... I don't know who the artist was but me likey. Upstairs living space.... BRILLIANT! Love the painted ping pong table. Love. Love. Did I mention love? Boys bunk room....and Girls bunk room. Which....is being torn out. The home has sold and they are making this an exercise room..... I think I missed a room.... But I am going to list other post with as many pictures as I took if not more!!! Angela from The Painted House Julia from Hooked on Houses Kris from Driven By Decor Patti from Pretty Old Houses Hope I have not left anyone out. I googled. It was SO nice to just be blatant about taking these pictures...no hiding...no silly sneaky iphone pictures. The house is only open on the weekends [Friday-Sunday] now through October 7th. The architect was Lew Oliver The builder was Stan Benecki Outstanding all around. Now if I had not sold that Apple stock when it was 80.00@share...... Cool weather has arrived. Shazam.
Sunday, July 8, 2012 My visit to Coastal Living's 2012 Ultimate Beach House Things are going my way- (no, this isn't my pool... but-) As luck would have it, on the last day of our family trip to Rosemary Beach, Fla.... guess what opened? Yes sir! Coastal Living's 2012 Ultimate Beach House! Not many people would get so excited over this, but other designers and home enthusiasts- get it. I didn't have to twist the arms of my mom and sister in law to join me- their jaws dropped along with mine. Such a nice beachy feel- all soft, coastal colors from Pratt and Lambert Paints If you haven't been seeing the fabulous shower systems by Kohler, start to drool. Sweet surprise- many of the plumbing fixtures were antique brass Yes, the seat is round Most of the upholstery is made out of Sunbrella fabric. You've known it for the outdoors, but it is huge for interior furniture as well. Soft and sumptuous and easy to clean with soap and water (and bleach if needed!). Striking tiled wall and mirror by Madegoods Somehow missed taking full photos of the kitchen, but all of the fabulous light fixtures are from Circa Lighting Local photographer taking pictures for the newspaper... he took lots of shots of me taking photos too. (I got his name and number for pure business reasons) Part of the prep kitchen... loved the Target dishes with the beaded edges (who knew?). More from Kohler One of my favorite features... most plumbing is hidden by cabinet doors in the bath... why not add a drawer instead? Beautiful bed custom designed by Reid Classics out of Dothan, Alabama Maybe my favorite room- stash the kids- Or maybe this one... Go ahead. Paint your ping pong table! Upholstered furniture by Lee Industries- a front runner in earth friendly materials and sustainable processes Sis in law, Nicky and Mom, Deanna Another unique fixture from Circa Lighting and... tons of woven wood shades throughout Entry to another well used niche- (note: one of my favorite features throughout the house was the fact that all doors (interior and closet) were painted this charcoal grey color). More creative space for guests Lynx outdoor grill - it's the Granddaddy Loved the whimsical feel of the outdoor draperies, created naturally of Sunbrella fabrics Installed this Kohler system in my client, New York, New York's house recently- never occurred to me to use it outside! The house should be featured in a fall issue of Coastal Living and for more info on the house as well as the sponsors, click here What a great treat for me on my last day in charming Rosemary Beach! Until next time,

A spectacular building site always presents the opportunity to create something very special and this is certainly the case with this Flinders beach house. ‘Always’ – a gorgeous custom home by architects Kennedy Nolan, positioned, overlooking the beach on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Designed as a weekend and summer retreat that would eventually transition into a permanent residence for the owners, ‘Always’ integrates beautifully with the natural surroundings and is a true reflection of its name which is a reference to the statement “Always was, always will be, aboriginal land’.
