California Dreaming... Beach House

I am ready for summer and warm days at the beach. Having a beach house off the coast of California is a dream of mine and this one featured in Veranda is perfection in my book.

This airy beach house in Santa Barbara was designed by Richard Hallberg and Barbara Wiseley of Los Angeles-based Hallberg-Wiseley. Wall-to-wall windows with sweeping ocean and mountain views allows the home to be one with nature. The designers selected a simple, beach inspired off-white, beige and gray color palette harmonious with the coastal landscape. The home's earthy and ethnic furnishings include a commissioned rug made of antique linen, an antique Spanish vargueƱo and a reproduction stalactite side table by Formations {the designers' furniture company}. For more details regarding the interior design of this home, visit Veranda.

Ahhhh, a girl can dream can't she?
