A Whitewashed California Beach House!

Carolyn Espley-Miller designed this beautiful beach home in California!
Many of you know I'm obsessed with the clean, soft look of white.
White creates the perfect pallet foundation for cape cod, Gustavian/Swedish, French and Belgian decor.
Thanks to House Beautiful, we're able to enjoy this perfect dreamy beach home!


... notice how Carolyn incorporates the feel of a cafe' in Paris







Such a simple but beautiful entryway!  The little details pop!







... It's all in the details!



This bedroom mantel is made from a wooden French window frame from Lucca antiques.
... incredible!




Notice the barn doors with their original seafoam color make up the bed's headboard.






Nothing I love more than large comfy sofas and vintage dhurrie rugs!












I hope you all have a wonderful week!!
