L'Echapper Belle ("The Beautiful Escape") is a breezy beachfront home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and it is headed straight to my all-time favorites list! Captured beautifully by photographers Gridley + Graves for a cover story in Beach Cottages magazine, the beach home is awash in soft greens and blues, paired with white and pale woods that keep everything feeling light and airy–perfect for the beach! The homeowner worked with Shelley Thompson of Cottage Chic to outfit much of the home, filling it was comfortable and casual pieces that exude cottage charm. (Those comfy striped chairs are my fav!) So in love with the galley kitchen too. Did you notice how the upper glass-front cabinets repeat the home's window design? Such a great detail! You can read the article about the home here and see even more photos here! I also discovered the home is a vacation rental (woohoo!) so get all of those details here!

Ohhhh you know this one has my heart pitter-pattering! The Little Balboa Island home was designed by Anne Michaelsen-Yahn, the founder of Newport Beach, California-based Anne Michaelsen Design. She wanted to reinvent the classic beach house by elevating it's elegance while preserving its charm, and adding a dose of modernism to appeal to the stylish sensibilities of it's owners! We are definitely discussing that turquoise bathroom first....so gorgeous! I adore the color of the tiles and how it picks up the traces of turquoise in the marble slabs on the vanities. The sea-inspired tile work in the kitchen is fantastic too! See more of this amazing Bayfront Avenue home captured by Mark Lohman, as well as more projects by the talented designer here!

This has to be one of the dreamiest homes I've ever laid eyes on! Located in Old Florida Beach, the incredible home was designed by Santa Rosa Beach architect Geoff Chick & Associates, with interior design by Meredith McBrearty out of Dallas, Texas. No doubt the design is all about the jaw-dropping view, with windows galore and fabulous outdoor spaces–but it's the inside of the open and airy home that left me in a total daydream! The combination of fine furnishings, a calming color palette and gorgeous fabrics (love all of the Quadrille!!) make the oceanside home feel luxurious yet relaxed and inviting. The natural elements and weathered woods definitely add a beachy vibe too! If you need even more reasons to see why this architect ranks as one of my all-time favorites, go here next!
