Beauty by the Beach

Can anything be more casual glam than a beach house? I mean, really....take a look at some of these beauties I found. We're on our second snow day in Atlanta and it's the dead of winter, but looking at these fabulous beach inspired homes just does something to warm the soul.

Can't you just imagine the sweet, salty smell of the ocean breeze blowing through those gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows?

A sea of seafoam gets a punch of color with that deep blue chaise lounge. I could curl up on that with a light blanket and a good book now.

This kitchen just looks like it's stocked with good stuff like buttery soft croissants, peach or pumpkin butter, and tons of fresh tropical fruit.

The different shades of green are so soothing and the morning sun pouring through those windows would make everyday feel like a vacation.

 Look at that view! Nothing else needs to be said....

I always wanted a tub like this. The weathered shutter and rubber tree plant give this white bathroom subtle touches of tropical flavor.
