Sleeping Loft
http://www.rethinkdesignstudio.com

The second story of this form-meets-function beach house acts as a sleeping nook and family room, inspired by the concept of a breath of fresh air. Behind the white flowing curtains are built in beds each adorned with a nautical reading light and built-in hideaway niches. The space is light and airy with painted gray floors, all white walls, old rustic beams and headers, wood paneling, tongue and groove ceilings, dormers, vintage rattan furniture, mid-century painted pieces, and a cool hangout spot for the kids.

Joel Snayd Hi. Thanks for the inquiry. We went with a porch grade tongue and groove hardwood flooring that we then painted grey.

name of curtain fabric - what is the fabric of the curtains »

Joel Snayd The outdoor grommet curtains are from Pottery Barn. We then added the rope to extend the length and personalize the look. Here is the link:

You can learn more about the rope detail on our blog.

Joel Snayd Unfortunately the house is not available as a vacation rental. I wish I had good alternatives to suggest. I will need to inquire and get back to you.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Although the sisters were initially hesitant about the loft area, it's now an integral part of their vacation home. "When you have a custom home, it evolves and continues to evolve. It's organic by nature," says Joel.
Whiten your whites. Few things say "summer" quite like crisp white curtains fluttering in the breeze. If your whites are looking a little dingy (as is often the case after being boxed up for months) now is a great time to freshen them up. Bleach does the trick, of course, though I've also heard that hanging whites in the sunshine does an even better job.
added by Samantha Schoech to Color Guide: How to Work With Bright White
Go Big or Go Home: The All-White RoomCeiling, floor, walls, trim. An all-white room is a blank canvas just waiting for you to make it your own. It can go old or new, modern or cottage, but it usually goes spare. Bright white is simplicity and minimalism, not opulence.
added by Laura Gaskill to What's Your Summer Home Style?
Upstairs in the sleeping loft, rooms with twin beds are sectioned off with simple white curtains to make maximum use of the space.See more of this beach home
Carve out extra rooms with ease. If summer brings lots of visiting family, turn your upstairs into a sleeping loft for the kids with curtains as room dividers. Hang the curtains from ceiling-mounted tracks for the cleanest look.

Ceiling, floor, walls, trim. An all-white room is a blank canvas just waiting for you to make it your own. It can go old or new, modern or cottage, but it usually goes spare. Bright white is simplicity and minimalism, not opulence.
