Lake House

This incredible lake house from House Beautiful is the home of designer Thom Filicia. From the cool boat house on the water to the cozy kitchen this house feels just so easy and relaxed. Even with lots of cool layers and layers of accessories the view is really the star in this show and he makes the most of it. A low couch in the living room keeps the window wide open to better see the view and even the bed faces out toward the lake. So pretty with a mix of prints and colours throughout all on a base of creamy white.

Seaside Cottage

The Swedish nautical theme starts at the front door in this pretty seaside cottage, with a beautiful pale teal hat stand. The house, though mostly white, continues with shades of blue throughout the home creating a wonderful continuity. Shells, palms and driftwood add just the right touch to finalize the theme. The little desk at the bottom of the stairs is so sweet and all of the painted cabinets are just perfect in the space. The floor is a high gloss industrial paint adding a bit of shine to the surface and reflecting the blues in the cabinets and paintings. I love the look of a seaside cottage and this one is beautifully done. There are a couple more from previous posts HERE and HERE.

Enjoy!
