{Beach House Tour} A Relaxing Georgia Beach House
Posted on August 9, 2011 by Sally Lee by the Sea in Beach Home ToursDesigner, Jim Howard was recently interviewed by Mimi Read of House Beautiful Magazine and his words show that he truly understands what a beach house should be!
Let the beach house be relaxed. Nothing too dear. I’ve done fancy beach houses, but when I go there, I see people walking around in shorts and flip-flops: a disconnect. Beach houses should be places where everyone can kick back. Open windows, people coming and going, grilling and spilling cocktails — it all has to be okay.
~ Jim Howard
Jim designed this relaxing beach house with a Nantucket-style kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, and kept a casual beach cottage style.
Our favorite part of the home is the kitchen; which is described as “Nantucket meets Spanish Revival.” The pendant lights are an especially brilliant addition.
The bathroom isn’t too shabby either. I think I’d end up spending the rest of my life soaking in the divine bathtub!
Every beach house has to have a dreamy canopy bed, right?
