Like so many people, I dream of a house by the sea. Nothing too fancy. Just a little cottage a hop skip and a jump from the sand.

There'd be a great big living room, with huge picture windows facing the sea. I'd like a couple of big comfy white couches, and a fireplace for those wintry, brisk nights by the sea.

It would have a little quiet corner, for reading a book.

I'd like a large, well equipped kitchen, but nothing too fancy.

A great big table so I could comfortably entertain lots of friends or family. A great spot for board games too!

I'd want a buffet neatly stacked with all the things you need for entertaining the troupes.

A spare but comfortable main bedroom, with a vintage bed and crisp ticking bedding. Somewhere to snuggle down while listening to the waves.
A fun dormitory for all the kids.
A simple, yet luxurious bathroom.

I'd make sure there'd be lots of little of life necessities around, like french olive oil soap and thick white fluffy towels.

In fact, I'd make sure there were lots of little thoughtful touches, including flowers and candles.
Shells, of course.


Little lighthouses.

More shells, and some old bottles.


It's nice to dream isn't it?
Best wishes,

More shells, and some old bottles.

A perfect interpretation of my dream beach house... All of those elements were in my head, I just never had the photos for it. THANK YOU!
Lovely images! But you forgot to add "if I had a beach house....I'd invite all my blog friends over for a visit!!"

Now I REALLY want to find an adirondack chair within view of the water!!
What a nice way to start my day, dreaming along with you.
I'd love to run off to the beach right now, but instead, I must get ready for work. Your inspirations photos are exactly how I would picture a beach house if I had one!
What a Great Post!!!! remembered some of the photos...loved them then! Don't you just love WHITE!!!
I would go from the water to the tub to the reading nook to the guest bedroom for some sleep! Perfect!
OOps! I forgot - It's Wednesday, don't forget to enter my giveaway drawing!!
Looks like you have the beach house bug too. I hope you didn't catch it from me. Love the pics, had to save some for my dream beach house file. Heidi
I keep dreaming of a beach home. Right now I tell my hubby I'll have a home right by the water even if it is by a pond or river. I'd even take that!
oooohhh I truly enjoyed your dream! I'd be pretty content with that little corner with pink cushions!

i love how the kids' dormitory is designed.
this is a lovely post, but then again, so is your entire blog! your entries have been such an inspiration to me, as i'm also trying to put up my own little "beach house" smack in the middle of the city.
Oh... thank you for this dream you shared!
I LOVE your blog. I am gonna link it from mine.
I seem to be moving to an appartment by the sea in spain - hopefully.. so stay tuned, lol!
Hope it is ok that I steal some pics and link it to your blog?
Catherine...what a fantastic post..and even more amazing blog.
I got real excited when I saw the first image as I just finished restoring two old Adirondack chairs a few days ago( featured on my blog) and only dream of one day placing them so happily in full view of a beautiful blue ocean...one can dream :) Hope you have a lovely christmas.
