What Houzz contributors are saying:
Lee-Hawk's challenge with this house was figuring out how to keep the beach vibe and warmth that came with the bones of the house and still satisfy her need for a modern, clean esthetic that was also sand, dog and child friendly. In the family room she uses a mix of styles, like the streamlined low credenza and the darker rustic cabinet. Both sit behind the sofas, provide storage and visually work well together. The subtle shimmer in the fireplace tile is reminiscent of seashells and brings in a natural beach feel.
Along with rosette blocks, bull's-eye plinth blocks are used at the edge where the baseboard joins the casing of the doorways in this Encinitas, California, waterfront home.

Beams. Took fireplace tile all the way up to the ceiling. Could use this instead of wood on walls. Breaks up large expanse of wall.

Perfect family room with a view- sand, dog and child friendly. Plenty of storage, seating, worldly visuals and warmth. "The subtle shimmer in the fireplace tile is reminiscent of seashells and brings in a natural beach feel" This place will raise an amazing family!
