I've loved
Coastal Living magazine since I first stumbled upon a copy in my local newsagent a few years ago. It's right up my alley - gorgeous beach houses feature in every issue; from the quintessential shack, right through to homes where the word 'shack' definitely doesn't apply! The 2011 Ultimate Beach House is now open for inspection, and was designed by none other than Phoebe Howard - so you know it'll be beautiful. Come on in and I'll take you on a tour.....
Relaxed, casual, unpretentious - everything a good beach house should be
Phoebe chose to leave the base cabinets in natural timber, for durability
love the framed thongs (Aussie for flip-flops, not the underwear kind). I'd love to do this with some fabulous Havaiana styles - I think they'd work a treat framed like this.
serene and soothing
and how about a carriage house above the garage - perfect for housing those extra holiday guests
and the side porch, for when you've had enough of gazing at your ocean view
You can check it all out
here - there's a special
digital issue, or you can let
Phoebe herself walk you though, and give you all the deets. Love.
I'l be taking a little blog break - I'm seriously slammed with work at the moment, so I'll be back later next week with some new goodies to share. See you then,
Very very swish. It's all so lovely, I especially like the outdoor fireplace :)
ReplyDeleteHello Kerri
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I am a coastal living fan too - it's what you see on my hall table in my entry with another brand of coastal mag.
this is a nice exposé you have done (I must be old fashioned but I can't get into these new double dining chairs shown or the new double kitchen bench stools I've seen around).
have a good blog break (but you won't be resting :(

ReplyDeleteI feel the rugs/carpets play a very important part in making up of a beach house.
