Relax with a book and a "tall" cocktail!
My life has been a little {okay A LOT} hectic lately. What I wouldn't do for a good night sleep right about now..I'm not complaining, I'm over the moon about my new baby but a minute of down time would be wonderful! This room is so serene. I'm loving the limed floors {a refreshing trend} and the classically modern white architectural details of this room. It's clean, clutter less and peaceful!
Every time I leave the sandy Island of Nantucket, I'm ready for a life change. I dream of a casual home, a laid-back lifestyle {think no traffic, no parking meters, no fast food} + and an easy-going but {of course} stylish wardrobe. James Perse's paired down style fits the bill nicely.

This photograph by Marine Hugonnier sets a peaceful tone in this tranquil bedroom by Steven Gambrel.
These hand-printed pillows from isola bella are perfect for a sea-side setting!
Halle Berry and her family are enjoying the summer too.
I never tire of a home that feels livable!! Especially if it's by the ocean. I cherish the days of summer in New England. It's such a short lived season. I think I'm becoming more laid back in style with age. Maybe it's because I have a young child or maybe it's because I run around all week, so during my down time I just want to relax by the ocean with a cold cocktail, family and friends. Either way this house is inspiring - laid back with a little bit of luxe - just the way I like it!! {I remember this one from Domino}
The simplicity of Zoe Chicco's sea and sky line is beautifully elegant.
This one's my favorite!! I've just added it to my wish + "saving for" list [no more credit cards in my life}!
I just love simple peg + rail hooks in an entrance. I also love this Malibu beach home. 
Resort Glam?
Poolside Preppy?
I love this time of year in New England.....it's the thought of the summer by the beach that gets me through the winter..
Kelp Pillow
I am determined to use this tile someday!
