White on White Summer House

Hello dears! After a seven hour delay at Rio's airport we finally arrived in Paris yesterday afternoon. So, yay! Here I am in Paris, in Spring with my daughter and hubby, I am so happy!

I have a while before we go out so there's time enough to show you this lovely summer house. A feast to us white lovers, but to those who are not too keen on white bear with me because they are truly wonderful.

Blooms in the perennial garden peek through a white picket fence along the side and back of the 100-year-old shingled house.

A graceful arch frames the view of the sitting room as seen from the entry. A pair of new, extra-comfy lounge chairs focus on the fireplace studded with shore stones.

At the far end of the living room, this atmospheric bay window is fitted with built-in seats and furnished with a table and chairs used primarily for game-playing.

White on white and very pale blues. I guess I'd have to have everything slip-covered before I let my family walk into this room!

Open to the dining room, the kitchen looks larger than it really is. A peninsula is used for both prep work and serving snacks

With its ocean views, the kitchen eating area provides the utmost in waterfront dining. An old ship lantern is now a chandelier.

The girls’ bathroom continues the yellow and white of the bedroom. Built-in ledges hold toiletries.

Sunny and cheerful, this is the girls’ bedroom. Spindle beds were found at a flea market; all other furnishings came with the house.

Traditional Home.

  5. I am not fan of the "all white" look. But I must say that this house is really nice. The outside look in particular. I love the kitchen:it's nice, clean but yet not too polished.
    Ciao and have a nice stay in Paris!
