I just love the look of last year's Coastal Living Idea House (2008). All that aqua and white looks so light and bright. I'm really digging this little built-in workspace:
They wanted to design a new home that had the charm and character of an old Maine cottage, so they hired the talented Portland-based designer Tracey Rapisardi. "This house is designed for easy living," she says.
Oh, if only my closet looked this lovely!
You can read all about the house and see the rest of the photos on the Coastal Living website.
P.S. I'm hosting a giveaway over at my other blog, so be sure to leave a comment there before Thursday to win a $50 gift certificate to Dali Decals.
