dream a little dream

It's always been my dream to have a summer place....kids in and out; seagull sounds; board games; naps in the hammock; barefeet; and breezes through the screens.



























Some of these homes feature design that I wouldn't normally embrace, but for a summer place, I'd be happy in any of these spaces!

  4. You and me both! Some of those pictures are so perfect they make me want to cry.

    Some time, I should share pictures of Marc's mother house at the beach. It's not any of our styles, but with walls of floor to ceiling windows/sliders and decks everywhere, I'm sure we could deal with it...and then tear it apart mentally and redecorate it. :)

  8. I love the free hanging benchy daybed. Such a cool idea. Just make sure you've got some serious studs to drill into.

  9. I have never really had the urge for a Summer home, until yesterday when I discovered Laura Day's work in the Hamptons. And now your beautiful post is pushing me farther into lust.
    I should probably focus on a 'first' home before I get to involved with a 'second' home.
    Lovely photos!
