Beach House - Something's Gotta Give



One of my favorite movies in 2000s is " Something's gotta give". Apart from seeing a split second of Diane Keaton's nude scene and Jack Nicholson's naked butts ... the beach house in the movie was very "Hamptons", cozy and simply very comfortable.

Front porch ... surrounded with white hydrangeas
what a lovely place for afternoon tea
or read a book or taking a nap!

an extra space for entertaining in the summer ...

Living Space
loose slipcovers, not shabby, and
beach blue stripe rug
creates a very cozy and warm living space.
and fresh flowers always create a good energy!sufficient lighting is important
and table lamp is an important element to create a home

Candle light in the evening always adds a glow ...
what an ambiance!
fresh flowers in every corner
painting above the fireplace from Keaton Nelson
what a lovely corner with bookshelves in the living room!
This setting creates an extra sitting place and conversation corner

Books always give an interesting element in a living space.
