A Sea Captain's House

Steven Gambrel designed this charming home in Sag Harbor, New York.

Steven in known for his timeless, fresh innovative approach to design.  This particular home comes with the perfect combination of charm and quirkiness.  Each room has its own feel and look, but definitely encompasses the feel of a charming sea captain's home.

I LOVE this designer!  He is not afraid to push the envelope, and he does it tastefully!

I love Steven's timeless, innovative approach to design... brilliant!

Hope you're enjoying beautiful Spring weather!

Dream Beach Home

My family's favorite place to vacation is California!  I have always been torn between the mountains of Utah and the ocean; so I'm putting it out there...I'm dreaming of a beach home in Corona del mar, California and it would look like this:

The kitchen would reflect the soft earthiness and hues of the ocean and sand

There will be fun soft colorful pillows where family and friends can sit, talk and eat for hours and hours... this is my favorite thing to do!!!

I would play up the light fixtures by mixing vintage and industrial elements

I love these perfect elements for a beach home

I love these beautiful chairs!!

oops... won't forget the Mora Clock!
