As someone who has always been drawn to the soothing tones and natural elements of coastal decor, I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for Tracey’s stunning beach house. The moment I laid eyes on those crisp white walls, the vaulted ceilings, and the abundance of natural light, I knew I had to dive deeper into this coastal oasis.

A Dream Home Come to Life

If I had to conjure up an image of my dream home, I’m pretty sure it would look just like Tracey’s place. The white siding, the black windows, and that inviting front porch with the Adirondack chairs – it’s the quintessential beach bungalow that we all aspire to own, isn’t it? As I scrolled through the photos, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. Imagine waking up to that stunning sea breeze every morning, with the beach just a mere 30 steps away. Sigh, talk about living the dream.

Salvaged and Sustainably Sourced

What I love most about Tracey’s home is the thoughtful way she’s incorporated salvaged and sustainably sourced pieces throughout. As a photographer and interior stylist, she has a keen eye for finding hidden gems and breathtaking one-of-a-kind items. Take that entry table, for instance – she spotted it at a local nursery that was getting rid of it, and she knew it would make the perfect console table in her entryway. I mean, how often do you stumble upon a piece like that? And don’t even get me started on that handmade dining room table made from the reclaimed lumber of an old train station. Talk about character and history!

Open, Airy, and Effortlessly Chic

When it comes to the overall design of Tracey’s home, it’s the perfect balance of open, airy, and effortlessly chic. From the vaulted ceilings in the living room that give it a rustic charm, to the large doors and windows that allow natural light to flood in, every inch of this space screams coastal cottage. And the way she’s mixed muted blues and grays with pops of organic elements like plants and flowers? Perfection.

A Kitchen Straight out of a Movie Set

But the true showstopper has got to be Tracey’s kitchen. Seriously, when I saw those images, I felt like I had stumbled onto the set of a Nancy Meyers film. The spacious yet inviting layout, the white subway tile that stretches all the way up to the ceiling, and that jaw-dropping 57-inch island – it’s the kind of kitchen that makes you want to pull up a stool, pour a glass of wine, and start cooking up a storm. And the fact that they used only natural materials that age gracefully, like the honed marble countertops, just adds to the overall timeless elegance of the space.

Coastal Chic in Every Corner

Tracey’s expert attention to detail is evident in every corner of this home. From the soothing master bathroom with its shiplap walls and abundance of natural light, to the serene master bedroom with its gorgeous gray headboard and driftwood accents, this place oozes coastal chic. And let’s not forget about that dreamy backyard oasis – the perfect spot for entertaining guests and soaking in the sea breeze. I can just picture those textured pendant lights from World Market casting a warm glow as the sun dips below the horizon.

Bringing the Coastal Vibe Home

As I delved deeper into Tracey’s stunning beach house, I couldn’t help but feel inspired to incorporate more coastal decor elements into my own space. Whether it’s a salvaged entry table, a handmade dining room table, or even just some seagrass baskets and driftwood accents, there are so many ways to channel that breezy, beach-chic aesthetic, no matter where you live.

And the great news is, you don’t have to break the bank to achieve this look. As Tracey has proven, you can find amazing pieces at places like Restoration Hardware, World Market, and even your local nursery. It’s all about being a savvy shopper and keeping your eyes peeled for those hidden gems.

So, if you’re like me and you’re craving that coastal cottage vibe, I highly recommend taking a page out of Tracey’s design playbook. Embrace the whites, the blues, the natural fibers, and the salvaged treasures, and watch as your space is transformed into a serene oasis that feels like a permanent vacation.

And who knows, maybe one day, I’ll be the one hosting a Sofa Spectacular event in my very own beach bungalow. A girl can dream, right?
