“The project consisted of a long process of research to create a harmonious arrangement of colours, materials and forms while adhering to the budget. Neimann was inspired by the place and by the person. Above all, he wanted to give the house an identity through eclectic decor and handpicked objects, mixing 20th-century furniture in general – with pieces ranging from the late 19th-century all the way up to the 1980s …”

Paraíso. It’s Portuguese for heaven. Not just the location but this beautifully rustic but oh so chic Comporta cabana by Lisbon-based Barracuda Interiors. Be still my beating heart!

I remember seeing this house many many years ago. It’s a beach cabin in East Sussex by Bartlett Coote. It was the standard bearer for the pale and interesting vintage movement. Granny chic meets shabby chic meets reuse and recycle. Flashy and trashy were an anathema. It was all about slow living and a down to earth aesthetic. Fast forward a decade if not a bit more and it’s as interesting and inspiring today as it was back then AND it seems it’s more than survived the test of time. Australians LOVE a beach shack and it seems the Brits do too. This one is rich with the promise of easy summer days filled with family and friends. For sale here via The Modern House.

Serenity now! These spaces by Jaime Zehner of JZ Interior Designs are so relaxing and serene. California casual is her scene and I’m digging it. A bit Scanid, rustic, beachy…. perfect for warm weather living.

This modern beach house in East Hampton is tons of fun. Loaded with tropical colours and wallpaper, it is coastal vacationing with a chic, graphic twist. Such uplifting energy in these spaces. Designed by Ghislaine Viñas. (Photos: Jaime Viñas & Mick Hales)

Not too many photos but more than enough to let me know that this Jupiter Island house by architect firm Thomas Melhorn with interiors by Betsy Brown is not your ordinary beachside home. Stylish and sophisticated yet relaxed and welcoming. Just right for getaways or even better for a forever home.
