Am heading back to the states today...leaving splendid Paris behind. So I thought I would add in a post of an all American home today!
This design glimpse is from a brand new seasside cottage in Fairfield, CT. The interior spaces were wonderfully designed by Lynn Morgan and beautifully shot by photographer Jeff McNamara.
This "cottage" is 4 bedrooms in 5000 square feet of house...I only wish my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills was a fraction of the size. Just goes to show you there are cottages and then there are "cottages". I would like the kind of cottage that goes in quotation marks...btw...
Anyhoooo...the house is a gray shingle style home with a gray and white theme. Lynn used lots of stripes, bleached and pale furniture and white lacquer beadboard throughout to create a serene elegantly casual family home.
Love the use of grey here and the bold stripes. These spaces work for me. Preppy, beachy, traditional with a tiny tiny hint of modern thrown in. Nicely designed indeed!
What do you think of this little glimpse of this seaside "cottage"? Any room you must have? I rather like the scene with the painting and table...reminds me that good design can be rooted in calm simplicity. What do you think of the gray and stripes? Do tell!
Happy Wednesday!
