Thanks Gizmo. what a lovely setting. inside is a wee bit too perfect with the blue and white thrme snd shells everywhere. Oh! Loved the towrls hanging on the oven door🤣

I have a time typing on my iPad in bed. Sorry. :(

Too much stuff.

Gorgeous, thanks for sharing, Gizmo. So charming and full of character. They had me at the grasscloth! Swoon.

Love the pool house!

I love everything about this house. In fact, I wish I lived closer and I would check out his garden shop/nursery. I think it is lovely and perfect for a coastal property.

I do have a question for anyone who wants to answer, though. The rug in his sunroom is eactly like one I grew up with on our screened porch in the 50s and early 60s. I have been thinking of getting one like it for our screened posrch when it is finished (note: at the rate things are going, I may be dead by then), but I can't find one just like it. It looks to be made up of square pieces sewn together rather than just one large piece. The one on our porch had to have been 40 feet by 20 feet, but I don't need one that large. Any suggestions would be welcome.

How do you dust all of that without breaking anything?

Cyn, I know of this one similar:

Michael’s:

I’ll look for others. It’s hard to tell colors on computer monitors … the lighting and such. Not sure from either of these what the actual level of color contrast would be in the patterns.

But I do think the one I posted has much more contrast.

Just saw a seagrass one on Chairish:

Jinx, you are a wonder! Thank you.

ETA: Less contrast is better for me. Will check out jute vs seagrass. The Chairish one has one photo that looks perfect, but it is small for my space...or what my space will be, maybe..should it ever be built. Sheesh.

I agree — I like less contrast better. It’s so hard telling from monitors! After my fabric ordering fiasco, I’m not trusting internet pics. :D

I cannot fault anything here, and think this is a perfectly lovely and graceful design style.

I agree, and I think most anyone would like this space. It is also relatively modest, achievable. OTOH nothing earth shattering-ly creative.

A few things:

1. It was funny to say they did not wanted cabinets so instead they used a hutch ... but filled it nearly 100% with coral ... like would that have gone in the overhead cabs LOL.

2. I so dislike this host, and she really was rude when she saw the old photo of him and said "really? when is that from?"

3. I love grosgrain plackets on button downs such as the host wore. Total sucker for that look, which I think TH started. In any event, when I got the mail it had a catalogue and when i opened it I saw this and I had to buy it:

For anyone interested in the Hamptons house, I just found a few recent Glampad blog posts about the house and the owner and his Hamptons shop,

"This is our basic galley kitchen, which we use for basically breakfast shakes...?" And the stove for displaying his hotel silver. Omg... love his blatant honesty. I enjoyed the tour--thanks for sharing it, Gizmo. I find that style peaceful and relaxing. I appreciate the curated art, as well.

Cyn, I thought Ikea had a rug like that a while back, but I don't see it on their web site anymore. I really like that style, too.

Ahhhhh, what a relaxing, wonderful home! What I enjoy the most are homes, modest and not so modest, that honestly reflect their homeowners. Who they are. Things that are special to them. Their loves, as well as their quirks. In this wonderful home, I was enchanted of Greg’s love of sea glass, with it softly displayed here and there, as well as using it as accent colors. Their beloved furkid’s portrait amd their art collection, as well. And, their wonderful quirky kitchen, really just there to make morning breakfast shakes as they don’t cook! I loved it!

I have fond memories of seagrass square matting as a kid, and was happy to see it making a comeback in the past 10 years or so. When my late mother was looking for some, we found Frank's Cane and Rush Supply, which I think is one of the better, more reputable sources,

They have several sizes and you can also sew individual squares together for custom sizes.

Becky, those are beautiful and I think match his better. I like the look of less contrast.

Now I want one, too. :D

I love this home and their collections are right up my alley. I was also intriqued by the seagrass square rug (had just seen another example in Southern Living maybe?). I'm on the hunt as I need to replace two of my current seagrass rugs. Anyway, I had one of that type back in the day and wondered if they were being made anymore. Which led me to Rush House and now thanks to @beckysharp Reinstate SW Unconditionally Frank's. There is a fairly significant price difference in the two sources. I ordered a sample square from Rush House. Becky - did you all end up purchasing from Frank's for your MIL?

I also loved the two low chairs done in the tweedy fabric in their living room as I have two similar chairs which I need to rehab or unload. Not nearly as wonderful as Jinx's latest finds but I will start a new thread to get ideas.

Ruby, I’m having such a hard time finding fabric for my pair of chairs!

ruby, it was for my late parents' vacation home in the West Indies and if I recall correctly I think they went with something made locally to avoid the headache of shipping.

Looking forward to seeing your chairs!
