i think i must have total beach brain, because i can’t stop being inspired by the look of a seaside cottage this week. i’m so looking forward to spending time on holiday near the ocean in maui next week, that i find myself constantly drawn to images of comfy, cozy spaces with a kind of surfer chic vibe. i can practically feel the sunburn and the salt water in my hair. i hope you’ll indulge me a little while i fantasize about life at the beach — why don’t you just come along with me? it’ll be a lot more fun.

Beautiful pictures that you’ve collected. The funny thing was, the first time I scrolled through the images I thought “wow such a beautiful beach home” but then I read your text and I discovered it wasn’t just 1 home. It was all collected together. I think the images match so well together that It could’ve been just one house. Have fun in Hawaii!

thanks claudia! that’s what i love doing – piecing together homes from a bunch of favorites. :)
These are awesome – I think I’ve pinned half of these too! I live in Florida, a bit far from the beach actually, but I feel like our home has a touch of that salt vibe. At least I’m aiming for it. Enjoy Hawaii!!
Oh, a lovely house by the beach (like these) is all I needed to live the rest of my life happy and without complaints! :)
Love images!
wow, what a dream house you have designed!
hope your trip to hawaii is magical.
Swoon! Adore this pretty home with all the beach details.

thank you debora!
I’m so with you on the fringy hammocks!
All of these photos are perfection – have fun on your vacation!
I love these images. My husband and I just found out we’re moving to San Francisco in September and we are so excited to be near the water! We’re already brainstorming our interior design – a Japanese inspired beach style! It’ll be simple decor, light woods, white walls, shades of blue…
thank you! and ‘almost’ welcome to the city! :)
