With summer officially here and beach season in full swing, we thought it made sense to tour an amazing beach house today–as if we need an excuse! This home designed by the talented Tory Haynes and built by Dearborn Builders is the perfect mix of updated beauty and that classic, beach cottage chic that makes this the kind of place we would want to come back to again and again.
Juxtaposition is one of our favorite things in pretty much all facets of life, and this kitchen nails it! This range is like a gorgeous piece of jewelry and the blue backsplash is an update on a classic style. The drawers and cabinets are a simple throwback. We absolutely love them!
Speaking of a throwback… Get out the puzzles, please! Beach time is made for board games and card games and seeing who can find the corner pieces. We love the idea of putting away the electronics for some real bonding.
Is this dining porch amazing or what? This is simple beauty in all its glory. Forgive us for staring!
Wood paneling and exposed brick are beach house touches that make a house feel like a home. This one is so incredibly inviting!
Here it is again in the bathroom, that mix of modern and classic that makes us adore this home so very much!
Why have a sink when you can have a wash basin?
The neutrals are so great here, and we love the addition of the perfect beach blues throughout.
We are big, huge fans of an outdoor shower, and this one looks so fun! The stripes are adorable and add a whimsical touch to the classic exterior of the home.
The outside is just as big on beach house style as the inside is. We don’t know about you, but we could move right in–at least for the summer! Do you like classic touches in a home or are you a fan of more modern styles?
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
