Transforming a house into a home filled with character and charm, involves more than just furniture and paint.
It’s about telling the owners’ story with unique touches that resonate with the dweller’s personality.
With a delicate blend of elements we see the individuality of the resident awakened. This gorgeous New England home designed by Lilse McKenna shows her mastery of adding character to any space. The top 5 ways to achieve McKenna’s look are
through the addition of vintage and antique pieces,
statement tile and wallpaper,
personal collections and art,
and architectural details such as beams, unique staircases and exposed brick.
Don’t be afraid to experiment,
mix styles,
and let your home evolve over time
to create a place that truly speaks to you.
We absolutely love
McKenna’s use of wallpaper!

More About BEACH HOUSE RULES
“Southern bestselling sensation” (Katie Couric Media) Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a delightfully moving new novel about a mother-daughter duo learning to lean on their community of women—and each other—after their world is turned upside down.
When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Cut off from her bank accounts and feeling desperate, Charlotte takes up an acquaintance’s offer to stay at a beachfront former bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.
Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the mommune closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper Shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever?
“Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner” (Country Living), Beach House Rulesis a charming exploration of the joy of friendship, the true meaning of family, and reclaiming the power to reshape our own destiny.
