This is a follow-up to my last vacation post on the New Smyrna Beach Penthouse. Even though we are back in California now…showing these photos lets me relive our fabulous “House Swap” vacation.
This is the master bedroom. The bleached wood planks on the accent wall add
texture to what was probably a generic condominium wall.
The view from the bedroom windows was so lovely to wake up to in the morning.
More great artwork!
Here is the room at night with a comfortable reading chair and wall to wall seagrass carpeting.
I like this towel cabinet in the master bathroom…more use of the bleached wood…
nice touch with the rolled beach towels.
This is the daughter’s room (she is a darling girl and sees my daughter often in
New York city, where they both live).
Instead of closet doors…grommeted drapes are used…great idea.
Cute light fixtures in her bathroom.
More of Clair’s artwork…I recognize the two children as Clair’s kids when they were younger.
This is a cozy corner in the bedroom. Nice scale and pattern.
There is a balcony off this bedroom with a view of the inlet.
We saw lots of dolphins swimming out there.
Just off the entry is this office that has a trundle bed covered in linen.
I plugged my computer in at this desk…love these shelves.
Here is the son’s room, where our son, Tommy stayed.
Great iron beds, convenient baskets for storage or to place your suitcase on…
I like the floating shelves above the beds, too.
More drapes instead of closet doors…love it.
Here’s the jetty that is formed at the beginning of the inlet.
There was a storm right before we got there…and look at all the pink coral that my daughter,
Alie and I picked up on our walk.
It was fun and relaxing…and almost a year since our last vacation.
I feel re-energized and inspired for some cool projects in the works.
Thanks for visiting!

Beautiful house, especially the master bedroom with wooden planks on the wall. really wonderful ideas!!
Hey Mary Ann, Great house! All the bedrooms are soo cute! NSB is lovely! Glad you a had a great time!
Wow, such gorgeous touches – I love the idea of adding the texture to the walls and the lighting in the bathroom is great too – it's really tasteful all the way around! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely home! Inspiring decor. Of course, I'm a bit partial to beachy decor 😉
So pretty…I love the idea of using drapery panels instead of closet doors. The planked walls are fabulous and how wonderful to have found all that pink coral with Alie. I'm sure you will display it in an amazingly creative way and it will bring back a flood of memories of this trip every time you see it.

What a beautiful place to spend your vacation! So warm and inviting…and I love the coral you and your daughter found!
What a great post! Love the addition of the wood accent walls!
You're so lucky to have been able to spend a week here – both the home and the views are stunning! The home has a great beachy vibe without being too themey. The bleached wood reminds me of driftwood, and adds a wonderful organic element. Love all the beautiful blues too 🙂

Beautiful…love all of the touches of natural wood and the light paint colors. Of course being back in California in your neck of the woods is not too shabby either 🙂
Beautiful home! I love the wood dresser in the guest room!
That's a terrific beach house. Thanks for sharing all these pics. Love that wall of bleached wood.
What a wonderful vacation and love everything about the master bedroom…gorgeous colors and the plank wall is fabulous!! What a beautiful view to wake up to ~
I love the bedrooom wall treatment for something that was builders grade. They really made the most out of the place and those veiws are to die for. Glad to hear you had such a nice time and in such a wonderful place.

What a lovely place! Great wood treatment on the walls and such wonderful furnishings. It's such a well planned and fully furnished home away from home. Thanks so much for sharing!
That view is to die for!! And love those side by side canopy twin beds!
What a gorgeous place to spend time. Not only is it well appointed -the view and location is spectacular. I am glad that you got some rest and relaxation and are ready to go again! Have a wonderful night, Elizabeth- xo Diana
What a pretty beach house. Love the planked wall behind the bed!! Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation, Mary Ann!
I love the painting in the bathroom. The perfect beach house.
Beautiful! Love the wood planks!!
What a great house..its so open and incredibly warm and welcoming, beautifully done. And shes quite a good artist too! Wonderful ideas for my future beach house *notice I didn't say if i get one….but when, lol*!!
What a great time you had! and such a lovely home to stay in while vacationing. I love the wood planked wall very much! and all the gray blues. What a treat to trade home's I love the idea.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
Love all the ideas! I was thinking about purchasing a bench similar to the one in the bedroom but for a coffee table. We are on a limited budget and my mom said we could always move it to our bedroom. I also thought it could work as additional seating in our dining room. I love a piece that can be moved effortlessly from one room to another and for some reason this post confirmed that I am ready to purchase!
Certainly is a beautiful beach home. I especially love the use of curtains instead of closet doors! Her painting are priceless.
Thank you for sharing, Mary Ann.
