Good beautiful rainy morning! The inspiration for this family beach house came from the film Something’s Gotta Give. I showed you the house made for this film starring Diane Keaton some time ago in this post.


One of a collection of Henry Barnes paintings, the architectural painting of Greece that crowns the living room fireplace adds a dash of Mediterranean flair. The pale blue and white striped rugs in the living room and dining room are very similar to the one in the film.





Wistful blue-painted cupboards



Bunk room with bold stripes, informal fabrics, and cotton rugs. The sofa was a flea-market find.


A candle lantern in the bunk room... I would never, ever, light these candles. Not by the curtains and beds and especially not in the kids' room.


A giant shell to store soap.





A painting by Heather Barron enlivens this reading nook.
