Think soft mushroom, warm taupes, subtle beige, gentle greens and muted blues.

The pristine look of white has transformed to a look that makes a room feel finished without feeling formal, and elevated without feeling untouchable.

These colors let the architecture, textures, art and design tell the story creating a home that feels personal.

What we love the most, is these homes are family-friendly and have a collected rather that curated look.

It’s the look of a life well lived and one to be enjoyed.

 More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:

 

“Queen of the beach read,” (CosmopolitanNew York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt escape to coastal Carolina.

 

After the worst day in her professional life, burnt-out NICU nurse Daisy Stevens runs to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, looking for a new life—and possibly new romance. On her first day at her “simpler” job, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden discovers an abandoned baby, sending ripples through the entire tight-knit town of Cape Carolina.

Mason is still struggling to reconcile the scars of the injury that kept him out of the big leagues, stuck in his hometown, and searching for a way out. This newcomer and the child they’ve saved together might be just the motivation he needs to stay put. Sparks fly as Mason acquaints Daisy with Cape Carolina, introducing her to his friends and family, including his batty Aunt Tilley, who is looking for relief from long-buried family secrets and her own fresh start.

But as Daisy becomes increasingly attached to this abandoned child, and begins facing her own demons in the process, a startling discovery is made that threatens to rip the entire town of Cape Carolina apart, placing Daisy, Mason, and Tilley in the center of the storm. In a novel that proves that “Kristy Woodson Harvey is (the) go-to for elevated beach reads” (People), they will each learn that with love, understanding—and a community theater production of Hello, Dolly!—sometimes life conspires to bring us just exactly where we belong.
