Beachy Keen

There is a vast difference (cold hard cash) between living by the beach as I do, and living at the beach as so aptly demonstrated by the lovely home featured in the September issue of House Beautiful. The romantic, whitewashed, beachy vibe is captured to perfection in designer Carolyn Espley-Miller's beach house in Carpinteria, California (just outside Santa Barbara). I won't even talk about the views. Besides more photos, there is also a great interview with Espley-Miller about her vision for accomplishing the look and feel of this most charming getaway.
