Thank you Tina for inviting me over to The Enchanted Home to share what I'm loving now with your chic readers! It's always a pleasure to be in good company and who better in blogland than to be at your place!
I've always loved blue and white and with spring just around the corner, one tiny little aspect of my life, is being inspired to add a little blue and white during this time of year. It reminds me of the beach and that's where I want to be most of the time...
This living room is from the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House 2011. I love the ceiling and the use of weathered wood. Of course the pops of blue and white make it one incredible beach home!
Can you recognize this ultimate beach living room? Yes, you're right it's from Something's Gotta Give! Tina and I are addicted to this movie and have watched it probably hundreds of times! Okay... maybe I'm exxagerating a little or maybe not....If I could, I would re-create this exact room in my home and never tire of it!
Coastal Living's Ultimate Beach House 2011 dining area....love, love this room! The white, the table, the photo collage on the wall. All perfect!
Love this spacious beach living room! It's perfect for my whole clan and the linen sofa and chairs are gorgeous!
This white room with bits of yellow here and there are perfect for a super casual beach house.
I love this well organized super-chic kitchen and the lighting is gorgeous!
I want this bedding, oh and the bed and the rug and the bedside lamp....
If I had a guest room, this would be my choice...blue and white patterned bedding.
I think every beach house needs to have these dishes...don't you agree?
Restoration Hardware always has great choices for outdoor seating and perfect nautical blue striped pillows.
Blue towels and bathrugs are easy ways to add a little blue in your life. These from, Williams Sonoma Home, are always on my shopping list in January.
This living room designed by Victoria Hagan is one of my all time favorite Hamptons living rooms. I love the fact that you can sit and chat with your family and friends in a stylish cozy area.
Here's my wish list of things blue and beachy!
1. Jackson Sectional Sofa
2. Breville Single-Serve Coffee
Maker 3. Pacher Mix & Match Hard Coasters
4. Fitzgerald Armchair 5. Bernard Bar Stand 6. Mason Wood Top Desk 7. Madagascar Sisal
Rug
