Hi Simone
ReplyDeleteMy personal favourite is the first bedroom. I have just moved into a rental house by the beach but the house is quite dark. This room is so light!! It makes me relax just looking at it.

So many blue and white interiors, but they are perfect for Coastal homes. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie
Hi Simone:) I love the second image 'Coastal Colour'. This bedroom looks so beachy but also so cosy and homey at the same time, which is something I really look for as inspiration for decorating my own home:) Thank you for visiting me earlier today. Wishing you a lovely Wednesday - Tina xx

In my house, all that white would get dirtied up mighty quick! But, a deep soak tub is definitely calling to me. And all of those pics are a might bit refreshing! :>
ReplyDeleteThat blue bathroom is cool, but I love that first blue and white bedroom -- just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love it! (and between you and me and whomever else reads this, I hope you DON'T have to spend all day in the blue bathroom...=)
ReplyDeleteHi Simone...
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have just bought our first home. It's not near the beach but I LOVE going through your blog and getting inspiration for my home.
I also love looking at what activities you do with your children. I have 3 very active boys (4, 3 and 1 years old) and am always looking for things to do.
Thanks for being a regular blogger...I look forward to the next one!
Regards,
Kate
Very nice. I like the bedrooms - either one will do!

Hi there Simone. I buy more than my share of design mags but have never bought a copy of this one, can't imagine why, as it looks fantastic!! I'll just have to add it to my list of must-have magazines, just don't tell my husband:-/
ReplyDeleteAngex
That second image is making me wish I lived near the beach. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely mag...and right up my alley! I like to pretend I live at the beach, even though it's really a two-hour drive over the mountains to get there. Thanks for the offer - and thanks for your lovely and inspiring blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Simone,
ReplyDeleteFirstly let me just say i LOVE your blog i am from a small town in South Africa and love reading your blog and getting inspiration. I love the second pic :) thanks again for an awesome blog! Sam
After the winter we have had - I would take any one of those rooms. Of course I would need the beachview to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI just got my issue. Isn't it lovely? I love the spread about that couple that lives in the sustainable cave like home.
ReplyDeleteI can smell the sea! Wonderful. Love all the white. Really feels clean and airy and like a holiday!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to redo my bedroom, jusst like the blue and white bedroom, only the lavender ladder is coming too!

HI Simone,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway - I could definitely use some sunshine and inspiration right about now. It's a little 'doldrumy' outside here. -amy
I really like that last picture! Have a nice evening!
ReplyDeleteSolrosa
Just beautiful, especially the display of vintage birdcages on top of the two Chinese cabinets.
ReplyDeleteI love how the first photo matches your blog perfectly!! The second one is my personal favorite. It truly feels like a little beach hut to me. And that kitchen is gorgeous, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Simone

Hi Simone, I love the chinoiserie cupboards, that is one of my favourite things at the moment! (apart from coastal chic of course).
ReplyDeleteTracey
Oddly enough, I think my favorite items in these rooms at the moment are the rugs in the bedroom and kitchen. I love the blue stripes and I would LOVE to find me a rug like that for my bright white kitchen!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love those can bedheads - I would love to discover some just like that!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog - brings a little beach chic to very dry Toowoomba.
Isn't blue and white always so and fresh and always a winner. Lovely images makes me thing of spring. Thanks for stopping to visit and leaving a nice comment. Stella
ReplyDeletewow! sounds great!
ReplyDeletei would sit in any of those rooms all day and even many more days!
thanks!
Hi Simone wow how many comments to go through!! Get that coffee brewing & a few of your gorgeous cup cakes you have just made to help you along, love the first image what a lovely guest room that would be, then when my guests leave I would be right in there myself :)
ReplyDeleteI love Coastal Living magazine. It has easily become one of my favorite magazines to curl up with and read from cover to cover. I purchase the previous issue due to your post and have to tell you I was delighted beyond measure. I fell in love with so many things...I need to win the lottery or find a second and third job!! :) Please count me in on the treasure of a magazine. I will be on cloud nine if I am the lucky winner!! Thank so much for offering it as a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh, sigh... Soft coastal breezes...
ReplyDeleteHi Simone
ReplyDeleteI have tried so hard to get a subscription to this mag. It is so 'up my alley'. I live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and have a true beach-style weatherboard cottage 200 metres from the beach.
If I dont win, can you give me details on how to subscribe.
Loving the striped rugs by the way.
Love love love your blog.
Di xx
I love Coastal Living and wish I could subscribe, but alas, it just wont let me through their website.
ReplyDeleteAny ideas Simone?
Loving the blue stripey rugs, want one for myself!! And the latest copy.
Love your blog

These rooms make me start dreaming of warmer days.

ReplyDeleteI would love that first bedroom.
ReplyDeleteIsland rooms - perfect for us in Hawaii! Would love to get a copy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! Looks like a great way to spend an afternoon - flipping through the pages, cup of tea and chocolate at the ready.
ReplyDeleteSimone, I just love your blog - I am busy catching up on my favourites as I have been on holidays and I have fallen in love with your pink Sunbeam Mixmaster - lucky you!!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in for the giveaway...

I would love to win since I live on the SC coast!
ReplyDeletejennifercausby at hotmail dot com
I love all of your photo's. I don't see white walls as somewhere that get's dirtied up. It's more like a reminder of where I have been and the memories made. Ohh and a bit of elbow grease later. Cheers Anjanette M, Nth Qld
ReplyDeleteThat shower/bathroom is AMAZING! I love the oceany blues! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletemannasweeps (at))) gmaildotcom
