LOVE those vintage bathing suits in frames! Brilliant!
kharris says:
The deck is lovely, but the windows and interior colors (the use of whites overall and the light palette in furniture & accessories) take advantage of the wonderful light as well.

It's so beautiful that it breaks my heart. We just sold our house by the ocean (on Prince Edward Island) in April and every time I think about it I just want to cry. I love this house! I got a laugh out of the framed bathing suits in the dining room. I'm heaing over to Simone's blog to check it out.
jjlmnaz says:
The view is absolutely mesmerizing! I can see how you just knew right away! Such happy colors and personalized accents...you have a lovely home.
politte55 says:
I love your childs' room... Especially, walls with dots.
I have an obsession about children rooms and nurseries, I guess :))

I love repurposing found treasures also. You do a great job. My friends are sometimes surprised when I share that I found a piece they comment on at a "garage sale". Can't beat it!
kathylivingsimply says:
I love, love, love the bathing suits you have framed! Such a graphic and cool way to make art. I also love the polka dot walls. Very beautiful home and a stunning location. Thanks for sharing this.

I love the colors in your home, and I love the dollhouse pool!
sunshineindustries says:
What a wonderful place to live! I love the grey/green beams, the swimsuits in frames, and the kitchen china cabinet. I also love the card cupboard. Gorgeous. Your collections about the house give it colour and style. You have given me some ideas for sure...
lyndymb3 says:
What a beautiful house and a gorgeous view! I also love the framed vintage bathing suits.

Very tasteful home, with a lot of character. I adore the incorporation of the old with the new- absolutely beautiful, as are the family photos in the living area.
strictlysimplestyle says:
I adore this home. The polka dot walls are amazing.
jacque says:
WOW..I can certainly see why Simone fell in love INSTANTLY with her home! I like her sense of style and would say that she has developed it into one that she can call her very own! I LOVE the framed swimsuits--TOO CUTE and so beachy!

capecottage says:
Just my style! Will add you to my favorites! Love Vintage,family pieces and antiques!
pillowthrowdecor says:
What a beautiful setting. I can understand how this house said "buy me buy me" because of the lake view. Your furnishings are delightful. My favourites are the three bathing suits as wall art in the dining room. And also, the little girls beds. Who wouldn't fall in love with those pillows.
lisadeanne says:
I love your style! I love your beautiful view as well!!
junkitjunction says:
The photos are gorgeous, in particular one taken from the deck of the view.I also love the colour used through your home, using white as the base.
Just lovely, straight from a magazine!

I have been following Simone for a couple of months, now, and am always inspired by her. She takes the simple things in life...and the discarded, unloved, and abandoned...and brings them to life in her beautiful home.
Her home is just that...not a house, but a warm and loving home. Through her writing and photographs, you can feel the love she has for this home, and more importantly, for her family. You can also see the "fun" side...just look at those giant cupcakes!!!
So glad you have found Simone and shared her with so many...
Jane (artfully graced)

I love Simone's style. I try to see what she's up to every day or so. I have a blog myself, and she speaks to me with her simplicity, color, and use of vintage items. I just love her blog!

I love the cupcake picture! So cute! And that view.....WOW! Amazing!
fismom says:
yaaaaaay simone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats!
sailorgirl says:
I love Simone's comment that she walked into her house for the first time and froze. I can so relate to that comment as, after more than a year of looking at cottages literally in shambles withe my rose-colored glasses (one had a 4-foot hole in the floor of the bedroom and I tried to convince myself and my future husband that it really wasn't a big deal), I walked into a house and knew before I left the first room that I had found home.
annicolf says:
Wow - what a beautiful home! I love that it has so much character and individuality.
Great job!
Great job!
josephinetalepeddler says:
I love Simon's Blog and style. I can't wait for the day she publishes her own Beach Vintage book! Sigh, that view!! And I love the way she has mixed her pretty vintage pieces with a coastal look. xx
marybeth says:
I too love the look! She has incorporated vintage without being fussy or too busy and it looks great! Cant wait to look at her blog and learn !
obragg says:
What a fun and happy place!
jlawless says:
I adore the vintage look. It makes her home look so worn in and loved. It's a place you could see yourself relaxing in :)
kasmlc says:
What a charming house. And the view is gorgeous. I see why she wanted that house.
lmeakes says:
Fun use of colors throughout your house. Love the view!

Your view made me want to cry. What a little slice of heaven. You must love coming home.

What a beautiful pace to live, laugh and love in.

I love the plate stand with the assortment of mismatched plates--the beach should be like that. This is a beautiful retreat.

Beautiful home - the location is out of this world amazing!

donnaleahy says:
You have a new fan! Really beautiful. I love the flower wing chair. OOOO but the view.. so jealous!
cobbityhouse says:
Simone`s house is very liveable a great casual, relaxed feel. I like how she mixes up her pieces. I often read her blog and she seems a very down to earth woman, someone who you feel you could relate too, no pretence.
