Take a look at Southern Living’s 2009 Texas Idea House. With a consistent theme of light wood and fresh colors, this home is the epitome of beach-chic:

*

The light bright living room with white, coral and light blue.

*

A small colorful seating area behind the living room sofa

*

The kitchen dining area has the same color theme as the living room.

*

A light coastal kitchen with dark wood counters and polished marble tops. Citrus fruits works as both yum and decor!

*

This loft is converted into a kids bunk!

*

Fun playroom with colorful stripes on the wall and turquoise bean bags.

*

White, grey and yellow does the trick in this coastal master bedroom.

*

LOVE this bedroom to bathroom door solution! Slidin’! Oh, and there’s that bathroom chandelier again!

This is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen! It is a waterfront home with a coastal theme. The color palette is based on a soft beige and crisp white, with different accent color separating the rooms.

This living room is gorgeous! One white sofa, one blue and two beige recliners, all pulled together with same color theme cushions!

Tall gorgeous windows. Open plan. The blinds fits in perfectly.
