I love the beach…

It really is that simple.

We only live a couple of hours away from a beach and we try to go as often as possible.

It’s a great day trip.

But sometimes I wish we lived at the beach…like “right outside my door.”

And that’s why I often read this…

just to dream.

And the recent design of their Idea House in Seabrook, WA. has me smiling at the thought of our one day “beach house styled, but not really a beach house’ home!

These were my favorite pictures from the IdeaHouse…

I love the openness of this family room. And so much sunlight!

I love a good pantry!

I love this room for two boys!

I love those bone inlaid mirrors!  and the bamboo detail on the cabinets is pretty fabulous too!

And I’m a sucker for a tufted ottoman!

It’s a great house…and it will definitely be filed in my decor inspiration folder!
