Some Houses I like to keep to myself, but what would be the fun in that? Although the decorating is perhaps not exacting of my taste, the design certainly is!
So there is a US magazine called 'Coastal Living' and each year they design, build and decorate a house, incorporating the coastal trends for that year- great idea huh! Wouldn't mind doing that job every year.
So this is the 2007 Ideas House which was built in a new 'Boating community' in North Carolina, which seriously reminds me of 'The Truman Show' Movie (check out the
River Dunes website and you'll get my drift...) Something about the house just creeps me out a little
Unfortunately the
Coastal Living site no longer has much info about the house, it was sold in 2008 and burnt down in the US summer of this year. All I know is that the house was designed by architectural firm, Historical Concepts, who specialise in 'Traditional Place Making' (as per their website, which, FYI, features several other AMAZING homes). So I guess you will just have to enjoy the photo's like I did...

| Some Summer House That Is... |
 |
| Wall Panel detailing, bookshelf encased windows...heaven! |
 |
| Addicted to the semi open-plan areas which are light, bright and airy! |
 |
| seriously, WOW. |
 |
| Cute little country kitchen, that french blue is gorgeous! |
 |
| Hanging Beds, seriously cool. Also love the wallpaper and matching curtains |
 |
| Favourite Room of the house; the windows, the ceiling paneling, the shelf with the green bottles (killer to dust) |
 |
| Adore outdoor fans- useless but chic |
|
|
 |
| White Picket Fence & Bicycle. suburban perfection. |
So what do you think?
Little bit creepy and alot fantastic?
What do you think of matching wallpaper and curtains? Chic or shabby?

I would like to thank you for the efforts you had made for writing this awesome article.
DeleteLovely. It is very beautiful to seen all these works. Interior designs increases the beauty of homes. All are look like luxury. I like very much the white walls and wide stair case. Kitchen is arranged as variety. It needs a big effort to build these types of homes.
