I have to say the eaves and painted white wood evoke a summery feeling. The rest is just...white...and could be anywhere, anytime in any suburban setting. But, I do love all white and am heading that way soon, in my new digs...with pops of color, of course. With few windows in my new space I need all the reflected light I can get. It will be a refreshing change. I wouldn't mind creating a summery feeling for all year. Brightens up winter, too.

Interesting how it doesn't look sterile and instead looks dreamy. I guess that's due to the presence of so much wood.

PS And that the wood is rustic.

OMG to the subway tiled shower including ceiling. I'm in love.

I love the white, it is so peaceful and clean. My question is...is it too feminine? Would a guy be okay with this decor?

My daughter is moving into a new apartment in the fall and she wants the same feel as these rooms. She wants a white, beachy vibe. Any suggestions on how to make it vacationy/summery and not tacky?

I don't know about guys in general but mine would like this look in a room or two. I hadn't even thought that it was feminine.

I love every one of these rooms. And, yet, I have not a single white room in my house.

Hmmmmmm.

@crollett345-- I really like the idea of filling up a glass jar with shells. I have this from Crate & Barrel which I layered with sand and sea shells. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/decorating-and-accessories/vases/delfina-short-covered-jar/s502548

I also found a vintage looking piece of decor that definitely doesn't look tacky in my guestroom: http://www.greatusefulstuff.com/CNI-Design-S-3-Blue-Boxes-With-Stand-Coastal-Surf-p/4003-cw2620-3.htm I put potpurri in the boxes to make the room smell fresh

Hope this helps and good luck!

@arena 300, PS My guy added that distressed wood isn't his style, but I don't see that as a masculine-feminine thing. Also, he thought the bath ceiling tile was very interesting. He's always preferred white walls and ceilings for every room.

@arena 300, PPS His favorites were the bath and kitchen, and cottage isn't his style, so maybe most other guys don't go for cottage, I don't know. Hope this helps.

Last picture: dream bathroom. Absolute perfection.

we moved in a all white home, with white walls and white stone floor in every (yes, every) room - and most of our furniture from our old home is either white or in light birch. the lack of color is really depressing after a while, i tried to make a quick change by hanging colorful art and adding colorful textiles, but i will have to paint the walls soon. it is is too much!

maybe it's because its one large room - living room/dining room/kitchen in one, with no walls. with colors i could seperate the areas a bit...
