I had a difficult time trying to decide what beach house photo to feature this week - finally decided that I would pick something from
Coastal Living's 2011 Ultimate Beach House in Norfolk, Virginia. Then to decide which room to show? Decisions... decisions....
Maybe it's just because I am seeking a little respite from crazy pre-holiday rush, I was drawn to this window seat view in the Master Bedroom.
Can't you imagine it? Snuggled in with a pile of fluffy pillows, a cozy warm throw, a pile of your favorite magazines, or better yet - that juicy romantic novel that you just can't wait to start (although you know that once you pick it up, you won't put it down!). Ah.... the perfect spot to spend a Sunday afternoon. Not sure how much reading I would get done though, might be a lot of daydreaming while watching seabirds play in the wind and listening to the constant strum of the incoming tide.
I really need a day off.
I would need a bigger side table for my hot chocolate and cookies (hey, it's Sunday - I am allowed!)
Arteriors is one of my favorite home decor accent companies - love their driftwood tables! When decorating a coastal beach house it's important to mix in natural elements to bridge the gap from the outside to the inside. Beautiful driftwood accents can do that without detracting from what the real attraction is - the VIEW.
Piles of Pillows!
Can't help it, I am still wild about our
eco-art pillows - and they have a NEW lower price. (The crab is a brand new design!)
maybe our new soft,
cuddly knit pillows? Love these with the seabirds on them.....
And now for a cozy throw.... the
Camelot collection from Bedford Cottage is still a go-to favorite of mine! We could not keep these in stock in our store in Poulsbo...
... or maybe one of our new luxury "snuggle-factor"
throws?
Now for a classic brass telescope - wow! There are so many to choose from -
From
Stanley London
From
Brass Binnacle
My favorite place to look for interesting nautical telescopes and binoculars is
Cuttysark, located in the heart of Pioneer Square, downtown Seattle. You never know what you might find there! (They even have a website -
http://www.cuttyantiques.com)
My book choices? Well, I am still savoring my French Seaside Style, and my new
Southern Living Style books.. (kind of romantic?)
Have a great Halloween Weekend everyone! We have friends coming down from Portland, wine tasting and being San Francisco tourists is on our agenda.
Make sure to enjoy, and take some time out for some essential day dreaming time. I promise I will too.
you have so many darling things, too bad my cottage by the sea is so tiny and done, wish i had found you sooner!
ReplyDeletethanks for the pop ups, now we can all visit with you :)
Your new throws look so warm and cozy - I need a bunch of them...it's cold! :O)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your weekend.
Hugs,
Marie
Yes, I can imagine and purchased my cream and navy rope throw last night. Snow is expected here tonight so I wish it were here already.
ReplyDeleteI adore the beach - it's my favorite place on earth. Too bad I live in Ohio :). I live vicariously through the beach blogs. I LOVE the drift wood table. Thanks for sharing these beautiful finds!
ReplyDeleteI think I could spend some serious time in that window seat. To be so near the sea... and the telescope is just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteI dream of a nautical window seat, overlooking the water of course!
ReplyDeletethat is really nice! window seat + the view of the sea. lovely!

I have already drooled on my own personal issue with this home in it. My all time favorites are those pillows. Absolutely scrumptious.
