by the sea shore


source

They say that the cure to anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea – and I don’t believe that truer words have ever been spoken. The moment in which I feel most at peace is when I’m surrounded by water, which might explain my attraction to this Cape Town bungalow. While I’d never turn down any variation of a bright white space, it’s these views in particular that are really drawing me in.  Void of any unnecessary clutter, stripped down to its bones, allowing the views to speak for themselves, I can’t imagine a more tranquil space to pass my time.

    LOVE this post from Style Files!
    I actually lived in Cape Town for 3 years and this area/house was about 10minutes from home.
    I heart Cape Town

    Ah!
    How I share your feelings, Jacquelyn, the view…
    … and the sound of the sea…
    … secrets of serenity…

  4. I’d give anything to spend a little time there. So beautiful and calming!

  5. omg, I adore this bungalow!!! This is my new ideal for a cottage!

    I also feel most at peace when I’m by water, especially a beach.

    This space is so beautiful. Like you, I love the stark white design, such a pretty contrast to the sea!

  8. Wow, I want to move right in! How clean and bright and serene! Love the exposed beams and planks in the ceiling and how everything is painted white.

      I so agree! I only imagine the sea would not be nearly as vibrant if the rooms weren’t all painted out in one even colour. The white and blue makes for a wonderful combination
