The Perfect Beach House

I. AM. SPEECHLESS.

Where does one start?  The magnificent draped porch? The exquisite windows and doors? The oceanfront view?  The only thing that comes to mind: "The vacation home I never knew I always wanted." 

Architect Robert A. M. Stern was commissioned to design "a house that would become an icon."  Bravo Mr. Stern. Bravo.  This is pure speculation, but I assume your clients are pleased.  Take a moment to soak in the impeccable details and dazzling mill work.

Ceilings!

Sliding doors I could live with.

More marvelous molding!

Everything, floor to ceiling and in between, was considered.

The perfect sleeping porch.

Naturally this nook is tucked in this home.

Allow me to apologize for the lack of narrative. I find myself in an unusual position of being succinct.

Tie a string around your finger reminding yourself to enter the Etsy/Studio Tullia pillow giveaway!

Chevron Wainscoting

My head is still spinning... DIY chevron wainscoting created from stock beadboard.  Janelle Steinberg from Maison Classique is responsible for this brilliant design!  I hope she does not mind if  I borrow this idea for a ceiling.
