Whitewash

I'm sitting here, writing this post in what should be a hot, steamy Queensland summer, and instead it's been cold and raining for days. And to make matters worse, there have been next to no fabulous white beach houses to ogle - totally depressing. So I was very excited to find this gem. It would make the perfect beach getaway, and although it's a little sparsely furnished for my taste, the bones are very nice indeed.

 Sandstone...my favourite

Love the exposed beams and vj boards



Simply elegant



I'd love to get my hands on this and really zhush it up - I think some accessories and artwork (no surprises there) would take this from good to great. What do you think - maybe you like it clean and completely clutter free, or do you think it could benefit from a few well-placed pretties?

    It definitely needs some warmth...a bit like your weather at the moment! Come south, it's good here:)

    It's gorgeous Kerri and I agree the perfect beach house. But where is it? You can't tease us like this!
    And if you're cold in Bris, well I'm in Colorado where it's minus 10, does that make you feel warmer? Am heading to the Bahamas where there are lots of lovely beach houses!

    It is very beautiful and good bones as you say, but i would love to see it after you added some art and "stuff' so it looks like people live there.

    hey kerri, really like this place! I was wandering if you had a picture of the floorplan by any chance as i am looking to build a place on a narrow block and this looks to be ideal.

    Hey Jarrod, I do have the floorplan saved, so drop me an email and I'll send it to you. Your blogger id is set at no-reply, so can't send it to you directly - sorry! K
