California beach cottage cool


I love this beach cottage interior, from Coastal Living...

"When fashion-designer-turned-interior-decorator Janice McCarty first walked through her 1922 Venice cottage, she was far from overjoyed. The previous owner, anxious to take advantage of Southern California’s sizzling real-estate market, had subjected the house to a quick, soulless makeover. “It was awful,” Janice recalls. “Everything was fake new—like the worst of a home-improvement catalog.” Still, the lure of the nearby ocean compelled her to take the plunge and buy the house."
