Beach shack love by Jane Coslick...

I was recently introduced to a fabulous blog by the name of Design Editor. While perusing Catherines interesting and inspiring posts I came across some pictures of a beach house designed by Jane Coslick of Savannah, Georgia. I'm sure many of my Amercian blogging pals probably know her well but this was my first introduction and I was inspired!

About Jane - Jane Coslick's Designs and Restorations embraces the cottage lifestyle: open, friendly, and simple. Jane's lovingly restored homes are painted bright colors-- trimmed in crisp white, and are full of funky furnishings, many of which she designs herself. Jane blends the quirky with the quintessential and fills her homes with delights at every turn.

The image above was the one that captured my attention. I completely agree with Catherine in saying my favourite element of this kitchen is the aqua colonial screen door on the pantry- Outstanding!

I absolutely love the light, airy, vintage feel of this home with plenty of white used throughout, the chippy furniture including old shutters and doors used as bedheads, patchwork quilts and the fabulous vintage inspired prints.

The next three images below are from another beach shack also designed by Jane.

I am completely smitten with all the bright colours, textures and patterns Jane uses against the white background. These homes feel so inviting and fun! Perfect for that summer family vacation we all deserve :)
