Cottage Home by the Sea ~ Charming Home Tour

Welcome back to the Charming Home Series here at Town and Country Living!  Today’s tour features a lovely cottage home by the sea that I found over at Houzz. We’re taking a little break from the Christmas festivities to showcase a charmingly elegant home.

Farmhouse Entry by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

The front entry of this classic home is simple yet sophisticated. Symmetrical potted trees add pretty elegance.

 

Farmhouse Living Room by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

The vaulted white living room is grounded with dark wood floors. A wall of windows allows plenty of light to shine in, creating a light and airy space. Books on an expansive book shelf provide pops of color.

 

Farmhouse Kitchen by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

The vaulted ceiling continues in the traditional style kitchen. Glass front cabinets continue the cottage home style. The island has storage for wine and a beautiful wood dining table complements the white kitchen.

Farmhouse Staircase by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

I have a thing for staircases. I don’t really know why … they just really appeal to me when they’re unique, grand, or quaint like this cottage home staircase. And I always prefer stairs that don’t have carpeting. I like runners, but I want to see some wood on the steps.

 

Farmhouse Bedroom by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

Upstairs, a beautiful white bedroom creates a serene and peaceful space to retreat from the world.

 

Farmhouse Laundry Room by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

Normally I wouldn’t fall in love with a laundry room but this one stole my heart! I love the architectural details like the Dutch door, the bead board front cabinets, and open shelves with baskets for storage.

 

Farmhouse Deck by South West Interior Designers & Decorators Stephanie Dunning Interior Design

Finally, outside this charming cottage home by the sea is a deck to enjoy the scent of ocean breezes. Pretty floral pillows soften the wood deck chairs.

And now on a completely different note, tomorrow starts a week of stunning rooms decorated for Christmas.  Join me on Wednesday for my kitchen showcase during “All Through the House” week!
