..it wouldn't be too ginormous.
I would want something where I can enjoy each room and make the most of those rooms.
Something with character and charm.
Where the beach was my front and back yard.
Where the beach was my front and back yard.
Where tall beach grass swayed in the sea breezes.
I could either sit in the sun and soak up its warmth
or under a porch to nap or be sheltered as I
watch an incoming storm
or the moon rise over the sea.
I would have stairs that lead down to the beach and then
to a dock where I could sip my morning chai and watch the sun rise.
(of course a Starbucks would be walking distance away :) )
The inside would have rooms with character as well.
Planked walls and ceilings
with floors covered by old wood that squeaked when you walked on them, telling a story of
a time before.
a time before.
Windows would have sheers billowing in the sea breezes.
(my photo)
I would have a place to retreat to
to soak my cares away.
Romantic rooms with views and fireplaces to cozy up to on a cold night.
A room that feel like you are outside yet sheltered.
Every room with a view of the sea.
A place to hid and paint.
A bedroom that starts and ends my day with the most beautiful view.
I would surround myself with treasures from the sea
I would want to be close to a town where I could stroll along the docks
and little stores on a wharf.
Small town charm.
Is there such a place?
Honestly I would love to live in Cape Cod or Nantucket, that would be my dream.
If I could just convince my family and friends to move with me that would be perfect!
oh yeah, and win the lotto. :)
Thank you for letting me dream a bit, I had fun looking at all the gorgeous beach houses and rooms.
Maybe one day it will happen, until then
thank God for Pinterest and blogs!!! :)
I will taking a little break this week, I am behind on things and I am still under the weather and pretty convinced that I will be sick until summer.
BUT,
I did see a Robin the other day which, in Michigan, means that Spring is not too far away.
Let's hope. :)
I wish you a happy and healthy week!
hugs!!!

Beautiful inspiring post!! :)
I'm just getting caught up on blog reading...Happy Belated Birthday to your husband! I'm sorry I missed the post!
And you have created a beautiful beach house already. One day when we both have our dream beach homes we can spend our time traveling back and forth to one another's houses!
I'm sorry you are still sick...feel better! And I hope your son is feeling better now too.

I'm moving in with you!
I loved your post today - we have so much in common! We are only a few weeks from opening up our lake house for the year - I'm itching to get there! One thing I'd love to do one day is get a small RV and drive along the coastline, stopping along the shore to poke and stroll and explore all the tidal pools, look for shells and sea glass and toast the sunrise and sunsets!
Ok would there be room in your suitcase when you leave, cus I'd sure love to go with you? :)
Lovely, lovely places to be...
It was fun to share your dreams today hunny xo
Have a good rest this week..that robin was a sign of hope.
Spring is on her way!
All my love,
Deborah xoxoxoxooxox
Love your dream! :) I'm right there with ya, hope you feel better soon! xo K
Michelle! Didn't know you weren't feeling good. Get better real quick! Nothing serious I hope. I thought you already lived pretty close to the water. At any rate - you pics are beautiful. Especially your own pic of the breezy curtains. Hugs to you my friend.
I love your dream home! Ahhh...just imagine...I hope you are feeling better. We are supposed to have some warm days later in the week here. Come on spring! Have a great week!

Hello,
Feel better soon...love all your pictures. Anytime you want to come and visit the Northeast you are welcome. We live less than hour away from the ferry to take you to Nantucket. It's beautiful!
Love picture of the moon...spectacular! Lots of inspiring pictures.
Claudia
I am always looking for this to become a reality in my life. Such a sense of peace comes out of many of these images. Stunning shot of the moon...
Ahhhh, sounds lovely! It would be so nice to have somewhere to escape to! Hope you feel better soon!
So many pretty rooms. I didn't how much I wanted a beach house either, until this post! LOL!! Feel better soon!
I love all the photos. Hard to pick which one I like the best. Maybe the one with the blue and white stripe carpet. That is a gorgeous room. Hope all is well with you! Take care..XO
Can I come visit your dream :) Aw, wouldn't it be so nice to have a place like in every photo?! Love every picture. Hope you're feeling well soon. Have a fabulous week!!!
Thanks for sharing your dream with us. It is mine too. I loved all the rooms you showed us and about to Google Nantucket to learn more.
Have a great week

Hey there, awesome post it speaks to my heart. We share the same dream only my beach house will be in Florida
This is such a beautiful post!!
It takes me far away from the rainy and cold weather I have here, looking at the images and reading the texts I forgot where I am right now for some time ;)
Great images and a lovely dream it is! I would live on Nantucket too, but I do live in a lovely beach area as you know..You need to move girl! Feel better!
xo
I'm with you...love the idea of beach living with shingled cottages, warm paneled rooms and the ocean out my front door...heaven!!
Love to see all your dreams! I can hear the floors squeaking too!
Happy Monday!

Feel better sweet Michelle. I love all of those beach ideas. I'm with you I would so love to live on the beach. I loved all those pictures. My heart is going pitter patter. I think my favorite was the one with the stairs and all of those gorgeous candles. Take care and enjoy the break.
You have been making your dream come true dearest. Maybe one day, you will be RIGHT ON THE EDGE. But for now, you are creating it all.
LOVELY!!! And I love YOUR photo of the curtain.....Anita
Michelle, Those all all great pictures, and keep your dream.... dreams often do come true! Feel better soon.
Eileen @ Cottage Beach House
Looks like if you had a beach house it would be perfect!!!!!!
Such a lovely post. Thanks for sharing your dream of a beach house. Hope your dream comes true someday.;)
Your house is already beachin' sista!! I understand what you mean about living right on the seashore. What a dream come true that would be.
Love you, sweet pea.
xxoo
Love, love!! And if you can imagine it..., you can attract it.
Yes, this would be my dream house-my dream! Love your photo of the panel blowing in the wind!
Oh what beautiful collection of beach images... You really made me long for summer days, which is quite soon. Love that porch.
Gosh Michelle, those photos are amazing!! Love all of them, but especially yours! I hope that you go back to the dr and have them check you out again. I haven't blogged in awhile, trying to focus on the most important things first and it seems I don't get time to blog, even though I have written a bunch of posts in my head! I so enjoyed this post!! hugs, cathy
I got lost there in your dream for a moment...thanks for sharing!
I couldn't have put a more perfect place together myself!! I think you captured pretty much everything I would want as well!!!
I agree with you on living in The Cape...one of our favourite place to vacation too...never hurts to dream!! :D
As for being sick...have you been to a health food store?? Oil of Oregano is very good for virus's ...may want to go talk to them and tell them what has been going on, I bet they could suggest some things to strengthen your immune system! Maybe a couple of trips to the tanning bed too...the light is good therapy since we don't seem to have our full sun yet...just some things to think about!! Enjoy the rest of your week!!
Have a lovely break dearest! Beautiful photos, beautiful blog, just like YOU!!
I don't know if I
have mentioned
this before, but
your dream is also
MY dream : ) I hope
to live on a lake or
the ocean, but on
the opposite coast ~
the Pacific NW. I
am now going to
pin this post to
pieces!!!
Happy Wednesday,
xx Suzanne
PS: Glad you are
feeling better and hope
your son will be, soon!
I could spend way too much time on this post looking at all these fun pics!! wow...beautiful.
Wow! Ive been away for a while and I missed so much! It's wonderful Michelle...Love your inspirations.
Someday I wish to have a beach house too. With those suncatchers in my balcony!
