My Beach House

As mentioned in one of my previous posts I would love to have my own little beach house one day in the future. I love staring at the ocean and just be…not really thinking of anything in particular, or sitting on a patio with a very long book to read.

Here are a few ideas I will keep once the beach house is bought.

As we believe in living a ‘green’ life and giving back to nature what we so generally receive every day it must definitely be a wooden house. I quite like the darker wood against a white sandy beach.

Each living area must definitely  have a view of the ocean. It would even be nice in the winter when the ocean shows its more aggressive side.

An outside shower is a must, as I’m quite OCD and would definitely not tolerate sandy feet in my beach house.

The base colour must be white, as, like the ocean, it makes you feel calm, clean and just let you be.

A Tour of My House

From a very young age, I constantly dreamt of the most beautiful home, where I can be myself, relax and raise my children. Like most women, I love beautiful things, and therefore my main focus since we moved into our newly, very ‘green’ wooden farmhouse on the 30th of June 2015, was to make it pretty.

See below a few pics of my lovely living space.

I love everything green, specifically referring to plants, flowers, trees. Therefore it is no surprise that my home is full of plants, and when possible a bunch of beautiful flowers.

White on white is simply the most calming, cooling and beautiful colour. I adore the calming effect it adds to any home.

With white as your base, you can play with any colour. I love my striking blue cupboard as a focal point in my living space.

I’m trying to figure out what exactly is my decor style so I asked Google. In the end, I concluded that you don’t need just one decor style…you do what works best for you and what you love the most.  My style ranges from Scandinavian Country, Rustic/Vintage, Industrial and Urban Modern.

So, in the end, what I love most about my home is the people I share it with. My loving husband and two adorable kids. Read my next post about Mother’s Life+.
