Of course the blue ceilings in some of the rooms really caught my eye, but it's the whimsical, vintage decor that kept me wanting to see more. </span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460533810764015282" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8e2kdqZZrI/AAAAAAAAEs0/DqJCDIP09HU/s400/DSC_7043.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">From dining room above you can see the kitchen (and the beautiful blue ceiling) through the doorway. Notice the fabulous door moulding. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460534076813177362" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8e2z8xdchI/AAAAAAAAEtk/PkV7gVGYSCI/s400/DSC_7034.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span> <div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">I like the use of the garden table with marble top and a mix of two different chairs. The addition of old chippy garden urns and the crystal chandelier adds to the warm, relaxed feeling.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460534085051164866" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8e20bdjKMI/AAAAAAAAEts/80l7IqSvpPE/s400/DSC_7030.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8e3FSVOQ4I/AAAAAAAAEt8/HZSvhI1sWts/s1600/DSC_7024.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"> Here you see a better photo of the table. Adding a thin stone piece on the radiator creates an instant shelf and display area for the owner's garden urns.

The home is the spectacular retreat of designer, Francine O'Donnell <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459744013290027538" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToQMy3uhI/AAAAAAAAEqU/H-GVucOgwpM/s400/Beach+House+Kitchen+Jamie+Salomon+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">The home has a traditional beach house decor with a bit of whimsy. I love the stools and the center island. What is most striking to me is the color palette. Take a look at this kitchen - taupe/beige cabinets and trim with creamy walls, but the most interesting is the soft blue ceiling. An area often overlooked - so let's have a closer look ceilings in this beach cottage.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459744022242688338" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToQuJWfVI/AAAAAAAAEqc/h86zNYbrwAU/s400/Beach+House+Kitchen+Jamie+Salomon+3.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">Here is the kitchen from another angle. The ceiling color is much paler in this shot. This is a common occurrence when you use pale colors, in some lights the color actually washes out. With ceilings my preference is always to go on the paler side. I like to feel the color with out getting overwhelmed by it.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459744009582673330" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToP--9_bI/AAAAAAAAEqM/X_FWpEJ7e_0/s400/Beach+House+Kitchen+Jamie+Salomon+1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 291px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">Here is a closer shot of the same space and you can see the blue ceiling more strongly. I love the whimsical signs - this particular sign adds such personality to the kitchen. Vintage style light fixtures and pale floors also add to the ambiance.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459743666979928370" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn8CsG-TI/AAAAAAAAEp8/cwriJmxy0UI/s400/Beach+house+FR+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">Moving to the family room we again see the use of blue on the ceilings. Notice how the color does not make the ceiling seem lower, but actually makes the ceiling almost disappear.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459743991442239074" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToO7Z87mI/AAAAAAAAEqE/vfZzEptEHA8/s400/Beach+house+FR+4.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">The same room from a different angle. You can see the patch of blue (like the sky) in the top left side of the photo. Again the SEA letters, life ring and assorted wood signs add a happy lightness to the room. I adore the beadboard walls. Also notice the slanted wall area - often times it is painted to match the ceiling - in this case it would have been a mistake. Keeping it white allows your eye to travel up and adds a feeling of openness to the space.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459743664038689442" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn73u3OqI/AAAAAAAAEp0/XSTskuv9xX8/s400/Beach+house+FR1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">Here is the Family Room again from another angle. I love the slouchy softness of the big throw covering the chair. This a room where you can really kick back and relax.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459744030391054018" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToRMgErsI/AAAAAAAAEqk/SyS8Kk-SifM/s400/Beach+house+1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8ToeEl73jI/AAAAAAAAEq0/42OR5z10g8A/s1600/Beach+house+DR.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">The upstairs hallway continues with blue ceilings. Also notice the gray/blue painted floors. I love the doors - clearly they are original to the house.<br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn7gUpmtI/AAAAAAAAEps/F5mx9PqpfWw/s1600/Beach+house+MBR.jpg"></a><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn7AJI5iI/AAAAAAAAEpk/C1j7XKGYZy4/s1600/Beach+House+BDR.jpg"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459743649116513826" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn7AJI5iI/AAAAAAAAEpk/C1j7XKGYZy4/s400/Beach+House+BDR.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"> A peek into the bath - which seems to have white ceilings but wonderful sea glass green walls.

Have any of you taken on the ceiling??<br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S8Tn6lMkDHI/AAAAAAAAEpc/I2TwUE0Ds9M/s1600/Beach+House+BDR.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:78%;">(all photos <a href="http://www.salomonphoto.com/Home.html">Salomon Photography </a>not to be copied with out permission)</span></div></div><br /></div>
