white & bright

being that we are in the early days of spring (although the weather this weekend feels as though were are in the middle of winter), I'm drawn to summer houses - it's obviously a sign that I'm completely hanging out for summer!

The below house (found via Apartment Therapy) is a single story ranch style home in the hills of Santa Barbara, California. It is so beautifully colourful, crisp and relaxing - I absolutely adore it.

We have recently purchased a house by the beach that we're renovating and this look is exactly what I hope to create. International textiles combined with bright colours, combined with simple, beautiful furniture creates a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. Oh, I'm in love!!
