Whoa, that is what I call some serious beach house beauty, right there!! I am so torn but think, I have it narrowed down to two. I keep going back up and down.....all have something fabulous! Cannot wait to hear which you choose. Now if only that sailboat loving, rich, generous uncle would magically appear! Enjoy your day!
PS Many of you have asked about the house, I am going to try to prepare a small update post for Sat. or Sunday. Working on it, we are chugging along....slowly but in the right direction!
#6..love it. It's private & beautiful. Love the bunks for my children.
ReplyDeleteopps,meant #5 ...but with the interiors of #6
ReplyDeleteAll of these make me wanna tell you about the company i work for! its called On the Water in Maine.
ReplyDeletewebsite: onthewaterinmaine.com
I think you'd love it! Let me know!
Do you really expect me to make a choice? OK, if my rich uncle really needs to know, then I must go with #1, it is charming, light but traditional and just so inviting but believe me I would not turn any of these beauties down.
ReplyDeleteWOW WEE!!
Tina,
ReplyDeleteYou are just Killing me. I went from 1 to 3 and then the last photo of 6 just slayed me..... So my answer is.... yes please!!!
If I could choose...it would be between 3 and 6..with a strong leaning toward 6...they are more me! But all are fabulous and only something I will dream about!! Anyone who owns one is welcome to invite me over!!
ReplyDeleteI would chose number 3..it appears to be in a harbor area. You still have the sea, but maybe not the damaging winds. but let's be honest, any one of them would be most wonderful. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteHmmmm any!? But maybe #5!
ReplyDeleteI would say 1, 5, or 6. For counting purposes, let's go with 1, but I'm really loving those others, too, and it would be hard to pass up a Robert A.M. Stern house. This is so hard!!! But made for a nice daydream :)
ReplyDeleteStacy
Choice 3! I would love to be there right now!
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful but my choice would be either 1 or 6....but in the end, 1 had me at "hello"! The windows, the splash of color in the kitchen tiles, the high peaks, the pool (sigh)! I will start packing my things up!
ReplyDeleteNumber two, can't resist that architecture - but I'd have to layer in more colour and textiles, it's a bit hard and not quite "loungey" enough as is... oh, if only....
ReplyDeleteOh number 5 would fit perfectly in my beach dream house. Love the weathered shingles, the gorgeous water front and the fact that I could leave by boat at any given moment. Would definitely mix and match the interiors for my dream home...so many of my favorite images!!
ReplyDeleteNumber one or five please...would move tomorrow, permanently.
ReplyDeleteJan B.
1 or 3 but then i saw 4 too ughh but 1 based on kitchen and bathroom (2 most impt rooms) and then 3 i looove the bathroom!!!!
ReplyDeleteKim @KimmyLynn2u2@aol.com
LOVE house 6, beachfront and beautiful!! Now I want to go tonthe beach :(
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Tina!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Hard to decide.. really hard today! But I'll get the #5! Loving everything in there.
The kids are having a really bad cold lately... I'm so worried. It's not easy when the 3 of them aren't feeling well.
Lots of love to you,
xo
Luciane at HomeBunch.coom
Definitely #1 with the bathroom of #3. All stunning!
ReplyDeleteSeriously? This is too tough 'cause I'm waffling big time here. So I'm leaning towards #6 followed by #3. Beautiful interiors and exteriors period.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so wonderful!! It is fun to dream - would say #1, then #5!
ReplyDeleteIt's 1, and 3, for me! But, I wouldn't turn my nose up to ANY of them!
ReplyDeleteI am going with 4 which kind of surprises me but I would want my beach house to feel very different than my main house, and 1 and 5 feel most like my house now. Whereas 4 is just so fresh and uplifting, love all that color, kind of unexpected but fun.
ReplyDeleteNo question...#1. Every picture was inviting me, with no little hints of things I'd like to change.
ReplyDeleteHANDS DOWN CHOICE 2, MY DREAM BEACH HOUSE....WOW!
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh, #1. No question. However this prior beach babe would take any of them if I could see the ocean.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Oh! Two tough to choose! 3 or 6, I think as long as they could be somewhere on Nantucket. Or in the San Juans, would would be a shorter commute! But I'll have to go back again a couple times to be sure. I'm ready to pack up and head for the beach!!! XO
ReplyDeleteIt's a tie between #3 and #4!
ReplyDelete*** As the saying goes, "GEEZE, LOUISE!"~~~~~ I mean, why don't you just ask us WHICH of our KIDS (or in my case, DOGS!) I'd give up if I had to?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (Smiles...)
ReplyDeleteWell, one thing I NOW I K*N*O*W is that I am N*O*T as "HIGH MAINTENANCE" as Jim SEZ I AM~~~ cuz I honestly, truly, would/could take ANY of these and be SUPREMEMLY PLEASED... I mean, WHO WOULDN'T, Tina????
DELICIOUSLY FABULOUS PHOTOS~~~ Mannnnny thanks!!!
Linda in AZ *
bellesmom1234@comcast.net
I would choose 3 0r 6, more my style
ReplyDeleteYou know you don't make this easy Tina.
ReplyDeleteLove the clapboard Colonial - #3. A refreshing change from tropical, which is what we had in the islands. I would add some early American antiques and call it home in a New York minute.
Sam
Loved 6 and the bunk room in 1 with all those textures and the curtains!!. I really think it is the Phoebe Howard bedrooms in both that moved me!
ReplyDeleteNo. 6 all the way!!
ReplyDeleteAll lovely, but have to pick choice 1. None of them left an impression on me the way that the first house did.
ReplyDeleteThe 1st or 5th one hands down!!!
ReplyDeletewww.lifeofamodernhousewife.com
#6! Gorgeous house, Amazing View, Tons of light, and kitchen and bathrooms left to my imagination... Diane
ReplyDeleteThey all look beautiful in different ways, but I think No.3 is the one for me as it's more 'homey' and I like the charming location.
ReplyDelete6 for sure! i remember seeing this home and just wanting to blow up my house (this happens frequently). such inspiration everywhere--thanks for reminding me of this property!
ReplyDeletelove.
michele
Number 1 for sure! The way the sun is shining in the exterior photo is just beautiful and it looks so warm that I've opened all those small cute windows upstairs! Looks like heaven!
ReplyDeleteI like this scenario! It's between #1 and #6, but I think I will ultimately choose #1. They're all pretty fantastic though!
ReplyDeleteChoice 4 for me..... love the colours..
ReplyDeleteFirst Choice is #2-So sleek and private with a pool to walk right into and relax!
ReplyDeleteSecond Choice #4 (looks like it has a guest house - Wow - Two for One Special!
Good morning, Tina!!
ReplyDeleteSaws are buzzing, garage doors have arrived....it's a renovation party outside my walls today. :)
As far as the beach house, let's take a room from here and a room from there. They are all amazing. But, perhaps it's b/c I have sons....I adore all those bunk bed photos. Especially the one with the "crew" pillow cases. Maybe someday....after I finish this project.
xoxo Elizabeth
I'd have to go w/ #5... It's comfy and sophisticated all in one! But have to admit any one of them would be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWell after about 30 minutes of analyzing this, (you'd think I really had this decision to make!) I finally went with #1. My top three were 1, 5 & 6 but had to go with the pool. My second choice would be 6 and third would be 5. Whew! What a workout!!
ReplyDeleteIt would be #1 or #3 for me! So difficult to decide - all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis time it was easy for me...#3. So happy my rich uncle decided to sail around the world the rest of his days. :-)
ReplyDeleteKaren
Definitely choice #3! I love the laid-back feel of it.
ReplyDeleteI love #6....could move right in. They all were beautiful and I enjoy reading this blog so much. The photo's make me smile and have an "ahhh" moment. Thank you for bringing this joy into my life. Your home is so lovely and I am a blue and white girl too.
ReplyDeleteChoice 5 is me all the way , however since it being givin to me I'll take number 6 please
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #3 for me. It has the charm, warmth, coziness, and views I'd love to have in my coastal cottage. Just let me know where to sign on the dotted line!?!
ReplyDeleteNumber 6 for me -- our kids would love to be right next to the beach. However, I wish those houses were not too close to each other. As always, I enjoy your Which Would You Choose posts.
ReplyDeleteDid you deliberately decide to do a post that would derail my day for much too long?!?! Honestly, this is simply not fair Tina. My answer is all. Each and every one.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in the spirit of taking the request to pink one (or more) to heart, I would go with number 4 and then number 1. They are all gorgeous though, this one was very (v-e-r-y) difficult!
tp
I was going along easily envisioning myself in all of the respites until the second to the last photo. How on earth would one make those beds? The practicality brought me smashing back down to earth. Lol! All locations and rooms lend itself to a pink martini. How could I possibly choose? :)
ReplyDeleteCan I please really have a rich uncle and can he please be one who is trying to "unload" his many properties on his thrilled relatives? I wish!!!! If that was the case, and I do love these little scenarios you paint (I love your imagination as much as I love your blog)!! I would after 20 min.
ReplyDeleteI kid you not of serious deliberation am going with #2. Because it looks like the ultimate super sophisticated modern beach house, the kind you walk into and immediately let out a deep exhaling breath and , as you stare out at the ocean", yep thats my home!
#1 please, the decision did not come easy but I really love each and every room.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, house number six is my first choice, followed closely by house number two. They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNot hard to narrow it down to #1 or #6---but I can't decide between THEM!
ReplyDeleteCan I have both??!!
Catherine
All of these are gorgeous but since you really said anywhere...I am holding out for a beach house in Bali in the traditional style! Sending good thoughts as you continue moving in!
ReplyDeleteI love the 5th house!!! FABULOUS!! All of them are amazing homes.
ReplyDeletewww.viningdesign.blogspot.com
Its between 3 and 6, but I thing 6 will win my vote!
ReplyDeleteTina-
Hope that you are enjoying your beautiful home and have gotten some much needed rest!
Have a happy Thursday.
Teresa
xoxo
Choice 3--I also love 1, 4, and 5!!
ReplyDeleteHouse #6 for me, then second would be #1.
ReplyDeleteWow, definitely Choice #1!!! And I wouldn't change a thing!!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely go with #6! All of them look wonderful, though, and I wish I could be at the beach right now!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going 2, because right now I feel like I need a departure from my center hall colonial and would love something TOTALLY different.
ReplyDeleteI can't hep myself - it's either 1 or 6. Both absolutely stunning. Thanks for your lovely comments and thoughts too, just have to train myself not to read blogs for hours every day - it's addictive and I feel like I'm missing out if I don't. But I must get this goddamn house finished! Fabric, fabric fabric, driving me nuts......
ReplyDeleteSomething about 1 is calling my name. Love every single inch. They are all truth be told amazingly beautiful though. Is the uncle also looking to unload any other homes while he is at it? We have room for more:-) Fantastic post Tina.
ReplyDeletewow dream beach houses! so hard to choose! I like #1! xx
ReplyDeleteYou don't make things easy do you?!?! But it is Robert Stern for this chickadee...it reminds me of the Summer of '42 (Although in a different location....and a different budget!) old fashioned and relaxed. Sigh....you have given me a virtual vacation for just a moment....now back to work!
ReplyDeleteWe have to go with home town Rowayton Lynn Morgan is out favorite hands down.
ReplyDeleteOOOh, I'll take #5, please! Can't wait to see your house updates!
ReplyDelete~ Wendi ~
One or six!
ReplyDeleteThis one was difficult as they all have appeal. l have decided on # 6 after much deliberation.
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T HELP TO GIVE MY VOTE TO;
ReplyDeleteR STERN
all the way!!!!!
xx
3... definitely 3.... no, wait... 5, yeah.... definitely 5.... no wait... 1... definitely... definitely 1... wait, what was the question?
ReplyDeleteok, seriously FIVE - yep FIVE all the way! :) Thanks for playing!
It was love at first sight for magnificnet #2, I would never feel stressed ever again if I had a house like that to go to. I would invite my family and friends and we would hang by the pool, mixing up exotic cocktails and play board games all day. Oh to dream!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose, but I think I'll go with #1. The bathroom and kitchen won me over.
ReplyDeleteDitto what "Design is...All in the Detail" wrote. But she didn't mention #6. Yes.....#6, that's it for me!! However,
ReplyDeleteI'd be perfectly happy in any of them.
#1..magnificent view and windows.
ReplyDeleteYep 6 is for me...wow when do I get it!!!lol
ReplyDelete#2 would be lovely because of the dramatic modern architecture, which is so different from how I live. But I have to go for #6. After all, it is Robert A.M. Stern. Who wouldn't want a house by Robert A.M. Stern??? It is beyond fabulous. Thank you, dear Uncle, for having such great taste.
ReplyDeleteBest...Victoria
#2 rocks my world. OMG....gorgeous!
ReplyDelete#1 and #5 are both incredibly gorgeous! It would probably make counting them much easier if we wern't all so wishy-washy! :)
ReplyDeleteIs that Rosemary Beach or Watercolor #6, R Stern? I just love that house. I am in love!!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly decide. I'll take them all. The Stern house looks like Seaside, Florida.
ReplyDeleteMy brother picked #6 I picked #2
ReplyDeleteI love them all! If I had to choose, I think I would go with Number 6....If I'm not mistaken, it is located next to the boardwalk in beautiful Watercolor, Florida and has gorgeous gulf views. It is actually one of my favorites of all the homes in the area!
ReplyDeleteHi Tina! It's a toss between #1 and #5. I LOVE that kitchen in #1. And any room designed by Sarah Richardson has my vote. I love all the neutrals in #5, too... Oh well, I bought a lottery ticket tonight, so maybe I will get lucky enough to have a home like those for myself! Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteI need this escape today! Choice #6 for me!
ReplyDelete(With #1 a close second)
-Shelley
#3: best kitchen, best bathroom, best view of the ocean from the master bedroom. Delightful!
ReplyDelete#6 for me! I grew up in southern Cali and also spent time on the Oregon coast, I prefer more 'beachy' but these are some beauts! Love the exterior of #5 too!
ReplyDeleteI love choice 3 and 6, but frankly they are all fabulous and if my rich relative was leaving me one I wouldn't care which one. I think my husband would probably leave me to sail the world on the 70 foot sailboat.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fabulous weekend and that you are doing well unpacking all of your treasures.
Elizabeth
Without a doubt, my very 1st choice is house #3! I just love the colors, textures, and views. Then, for me, it's almost a tie between houses #6 and #5. But only if pressed, house #6 would win out over house #5.
ReplyDeleteNUMBER FOUR BY FAR!!!!!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteHi, really loving your blog. I love them all but somehow number 2 is just the most beautiful to me. Its very different than our house now and thats the whole idea of a getaway house. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream, Thank you for staring my day off with the most beautiful daydream. I was taken away as if this could be true. I would love either # 3 or 6. I prefer the exterior of # 6, but like some of the choices for room decorating better in # 3. But I certainly would be very grateful if any of them were given to me by a relative. I would start packing.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteLove Friday's post!!!! I love them all, decisions, decisions!!! I love #5, the blue and white decore is amazing, but then fell in love with #6 as well. I just got a phone call from the rich relative and he declared that he was taking the yacht and was off experiencing the world, having too much fun, and was feeling so generous that he was giving the lake house and beach house to the extended family!!! Lucky day :o)!!! Packing our bags! So much fun to dream!
ReplyDeleteBoy- this is a tough one, Tina. I like all of them - I would happily live in a shack if it had a water view. I think Option 3 or 4 are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an enjoyable weekend.
My best -Diane
Definitely choice number 6! I am in love with this home :)
ReplyDeletewww.idesignlove.com
Tina, my brain isn't working yet. I have only had one cup of coffee.Can not figure out which one I would choose. I think I will pick all of them. There isn't one bad image. They are all beautiful!
DeleteChoice 4 is calling my name. I would not turn down any of them, and if this generous uncle watns to include his 70 foot sailboat, he would make my husband one happy man! Oh to dream, isn't it a blast!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with six...although I could be VERY HAPPY with any of these. How is the house coming? You know we are all dying for an update. Have a great weekend. Mona
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't usually happen to me because even though I always like all the options usually one stands out to me. But this time I equally like 1,3, and 5!!!! I would take any of them!!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHa, it's impossible to choose, I think I'd take any of them...all incredible!
ReplyDeleteNumber 5 is just perfection... and what a location!
ReplyDeleteHugs & kisses from South Florida,

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH SOOO TOUGH!!!
ReplyDeleteRaised in South Florida but having lived in New York with reg trips to the Hamptons, I am tied with 5 or 6. SO GORGEOUS! Thanks for building the dream! You have QUITE the archive of homes saved!!!
Can you blindfold me and turn me around 3 times and I will pin the tail on the house.
ReplyDeleteI think they are all smashing. Hard to choose just one.
pve
I love the fantasy of it all! But seriously how do you expect us to choose?? I loved the first two but I'd take any!! Have an amazing weekend Tina!
ReplyDeletexo
Sharon
Oh gosh! You're killing me!! They're all beautiful!! But, if I had to choose it would be #1!!!
ReplyDeleteI would pick 3 but if Uncie was giving me a house I'd take any of them they're all beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteFun post,
Kathy :)
#6 is heaven!
ReplyDelete5 all the way!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on moving into your gorgeous house I am so happy for you and have so enjoyed observing your journey. I have not been blogging much but check in often.
xoxo,
Sue
3 blew me away! then 5, then 1. OMG all are beautiful. Thanks for the eye candy!
ReplyDelete*6* positively for me! I love them all... Could you imagine, I would be more than delighted just to have a sleepover at any of them! At the end of the day *6*.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a beautiful post Tina.
xo,
Gail
casualloveselegance
I can't decide between my #3 & #5, but they are all stunning!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #3...no! #6! No, #3 on one coast, Newport Beach on the West, and #6 on the other, Long Island East End or Connecticut!
ReplyDeleteI Girl's Gotta Dream!
Thanks, Tina! Always a most perfect diversion from REAL life!
ANYONE!!!
ReplyDeleteFor a real cozy all year round holiday haven I would love number 3 It's got that special relaxed feel about the living room with heaps of furniture for friends but heY!! I'm not a fussy person and wouldn't turn my nose up at any of them. Wonder if the rich uncle would like to adopt me???
ReplyDeleteGood morning gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh this post, those blue elements in these rooms is really my favorite! And yes Tina, that is THE MISTA in my photo! He IS every bit as cute and adorable when you meet him. SMART as all get out (you can NOT put anything past him..i've tried...teeeheee) but he is PLAYFUL and warm and super generous! I am so glad to hear that the MEN in your life have been so wonderful. No wonder you are a great lady! MANY HUGS TO YOU TODAY..it is chilly out there, so fire up one your hearths!!!!!!! FUNNNNN! Anita
I prefer 3 and 6
ReplyDeleteHere is my profile
DeleteI was leaning towards #1 and #2 and then got to the bottom and died.....my love for Phoebe of course!!!
ReplyDeleteHouse 5 exterior is my choice, but I've done a vision board on pinterest of how I would decorate it (in vision board entitled my dream house).
ReplyDeletelove everything about #4!!
ReplyDeleteChrista

ReplyDeleteIn my DREAMS I live in Choice 2. How beautiful!
