Beach House 10: Nantucket Style

Been a while since my last Beach House post.  Well,  for a change, I'll post something different from my usual modern, form-follows-function, glass + concrete + wooden deck ocean homes.

Here's the usual white-washed clapboard walls, bleached wood furniture, aqua & lemon yellow accents, and driftwood pieces all thrown together for a super duper COZY-LICIOUS HOME!!!  

Admit it,  you can't NOT desire to snuggle and huddle under the covers right there.  

How creative is that fridge handle?!? A driftwood piece!

(I love those metal "shell" handles.  Reminds me of old government office desks...it's the same exact style I chose for my own closet at home.  I got them on sale at Ito Kish's store, in antique brass finish. See below.)

This is my bikini drawer at home. 

 Sorry, this is the only photo I could find of my drawer handles. 

This room is screaming for a slumber party 

Which came first, the ladder or the cabinet? 

It's too much of a damn perfect fit!

Nice hinges.

Now let's throw in some ensembles that I think 

will look good with this home...

And my current favorite summer photo: 

the lovely & inspiring Garance Dore

I may not be half as talented as Garance, but I DO have a white bicycle too, given to me by my Uncle Rene as a birthday gift.  I dare say, Garance & I have something in common. HA! 

 I bet she can't eat ice cream & ride a bike at the same time.  :-)

Have a nice mid-week day!
