The first thing Chris and I said to each other when we arrived, "This totally reminds me of Seaside!"...and that's not by accident: <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2013/12/turquoise-houses-of-seaside-florida.html" target="_blank">Seaside, Florida</a> (where we went last fall) was actually the inspiration for this new coastal community located on a bluff overlooking the ocean about 2.5 hours from Seattle. Both Seabrook and Seaside are considered "new urbanist towns" with their walkable, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, small lot sizes, access to green space, and sense of community....not to mention cuteness-overload with every single home you see! I got more of a Nantucket vibe in Seabrook, which I'm all for and loved! <br /><br />Seabrook is a relatively new town, it was only established in 2004, and new construction is still going strong. The town has <a href="http://www.seabrookwa.com/seabrook-town-master-plan/" target="_blank">big plans</a> for its future, with more homes and retail in the works. I can't wait to go back to see how their vision develops and the region around Seabrook changes. Until then it's still a great place to relax and get away from it all! About half of the 250 homes in the town are available to <a href="http://www.seabrookcottagerentals.com/" target="_blank">rent</a> (though privately owned) and they are all SO cute...it was hard deciding which one to stay in. Later this week I'll take you on a tour of the place we ended up renting...you'll love it! <br /><br />I first learned about the town through photographer <a href="http://traceyaytonphotography.com/seabrook-wa-revisited/" target="_blank">Tracey Ayton</a> and a photo tour she had on her blog, you definitely need to check that out <a href="http://traceyaytonphotography.com/seabrook-wa-revisited/" target="_blank">here</a> and I'm sure you'll fall in love with Seabrook too! And for all you ever wanted to know about Seabrook and tons of photos/videos of the town, visit their website <a href="http://www.seabrookwa.com/" target="_blank">here</a>! <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

The delightful cottage was designed by Margarita Courtney and Cristina Courtney Boland, the mother/daughter design team behind <a href="http://margauxinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Margaux Interiors</a>. It's located in Coconut Grove–a charming bayside village in Miami (and a place I now want to visit!) I'm in love with the bedroom here...the walls, ceiling, comfy little window seat, it's all so cute!
