a cottage by the beach

Cottage Sweet Cottage

A place to build memories of many summers.

Cozy & Comfy

The furniture tells it all: “You’re in a cottage. Just relax…”

Light Suppers

A big table offers space for the whole family and all your friends. That’s what a cottage is all about, right? Everyone is welcome.

Just a Little

Wouldn’t it be really pleasant to spend some time in this room? It feels so bright and beautiful.

Read & Nap

This vintage daybed adds some comfort and charm. Perfect for a little siesta.

Room To Roar

A very spacious room, especially when it comes to a cottage.

Kitchen

Isn’t it beautiful?

Island

I love how bright this whole space feels.

Master Bedroom

Perfect for a place by the beach. Gorgeous lamps.

Sea View

Do you need much when you have this kind of view?

Balcony

The amazing view from the master bedroom.

Bathroom

Small in size, but huge in charm.

Guest Bedroom

Very sweet bedroom, and this bed looks great in this space.

Board

Bring some fun into your life.

Cards?

A place to eat, chat or play some card games with friends and family.

The Beach

A wonderful place to be and feel the warm breeze from the ocean… and feel that life is good!

Rustic Farmhouse

Let’s have a peek inside this beautiful farmhouse.

Location

Have you ever dreamed of living in a place where you only have trees, animals, and beautiful views? This place is the kind of place that makes you jump early out of the bed, prepare a cup of coffee and open the door just to hear the quiet world starting to wake up.

Living Room

Inside you’ll find a very calming atmosphere as well. Nothing too loud, nothing too bright. Calmness and style.

Warmth

A beautiful fireplace that can warm you up on a chilly day.

Dining Room

Homemade food tastes even better in a rustic dining setting such as this one.

Kitchen

A kitchen with clean lines and plenty of counter space makes cooking even more fun and adventurous.

Expose

What’s not to love about exposed walls?

Foxy Bedroom

Wild…

I really like the beautiful chandelier and the tub.

Sweet Dreams

This is a very charming bedroom.

Wall

It wouldn’t be hard to feel serene with this soft pallet.

Secret Recipe

Moment of happiness: Fill up one of these and soak for hours.

Ideal

Ideal linens for me are crisp white and soft as can be.

Freshly Fresh

Beautiful, clean and bright. A bathroom should always have these qualities.

Black Loves White

The exposed walls and beams bring interest to any room.

Kids

I can just picture myself having a bedroom like this as a kid, and yes, I’d try to climb those beams. I couldn’t stop exploring my world.

The Back

What a beautiful home!

Home Sweet Home

You fall in love with this home from any angle.

Views

Life is as profound as we choose to make it. Life is never irrelevant if we make the choices that are spoken through our hearts.

Little Pond

Could you live in a place like this?

Hamptons Country Home

When I look at these pictures I can feel that calmness that only a country house has.
To a calming and peaceful week.

Welcoming Foyer

I am a believer that a foyer should be always inviting. It’s also a way to show what to expect of the rest of the house.

Comfort & Beauty

This room feels so comfortable! I would love to sit with a cup of coffee and chat with my best friend. This feels like a real home.

Classic Country

Yet another view of the living room. Note the M&Ms on the table. Now, how can you not like this room?

Dinning Room

How unique and inviting! I love the blue hues, the rug, the chairs, the built ins, windows and what about the “sculptures”? Aren’t they fun?

Eat & Be Happy

My grandmother, a wise 85 years old woman always says that nobody’s happy with an empty stomach. And can you imagine how happy we can feel eating in a room like this?
