Speaking of Megan over at Beach Bungalow 8, after reading her blog this morning I’m wishing I could be in California in breezy white linen pants, a sleeveless silk blouse, and some pretty silver sandals shopping by the sea at Gum Tree, located in Hermosa Beach, CA. Wow. Megan blogged it awhile back and describes the interior as, “beachy, sophisticated, laid back” and I’m smitten. California dreaming…. This is totally my style. Love all the white, the stripes, the trunk as a coffee table, so very charming, bright, and energetic.
You can view more photos here. Don’t you love those Dash & Albert rugs with those pretty stripes?

Hey Miss Holly…I am right there with ya’! This is so dreamy and fresh! (But I think I’d have to scrap on the silk blouse and the silver sandals…I don’t think I could pull that off!) ;)
Aaaahhhh…California dreamin’ for sure! Sigh.

Oh for a little hint of sunshine! The rugs are beautiful, bright and fresh. Take me to the beach and I’ll imagine warm dry air and driftwood :)

I was laughing so hard I tearing up, imagining what those rooms would look like after my kids entered! Then I saw the baby room and remembered what diaper blowouts my kids had as babies… my co-workers have got to be wondering what is going on over here. :)

Oh my, this would be a dangerous place for me to shop!! I live in a little Cape Cod cottage in (frozen) Minnesota… far from the realms of sunny California, but my heart is by the seaside and my home is filled with beachy, colors and seaside style.
The rugs are fantastic!

Yes, the rugs are beautiful. So is the naturally fallen branch coat rack… I’ll surely make one with floated wood from the sea.
