Sandy Gingras Beach Home on Long Beach Island in New Jersey
Illustrator and writer Sandy Gingras lives on Long Beach, New Jersey, in a home built in 2007 that has all the rustic charm of a century-old beach house.
I'm sure many of you know Sandy Gingras -Creator of Whimsical Beach Illustrations. Sandy wanted a (new) home that reminded her of the simple beach cottages that she grew up with. So she hired an architect who specializes in historic beach homes to build this beauty on Long Beach Island in New Jersey.
The cedar shake siding has faded to a gorgeous silvery gray. The fun sign is made by a local artist.
Instead of drywall, the walls are covered with Wood Paneling (pine planks). A Painted Oar hangs above the window.
Wicker Chairs are always a good idea!
The Capiz Shell chandelier is from West Elm... that a bunch of folks successfully re-created! Check them out here!
White painted floors sanded down for a weathered look in the bedroom.
To Shell Enhance Window Treatments is a lovely idea. And in keeping with the old charm, the picture frames were made from salvaged wood.
