I grew up by the sea, and my wife, even though she lived far from it, always felt a deep love for the beach and the calm of the waves. But life led us to live away from the coast, and with that came a feeling many people know well: the longing for the sea. To ease that absence, we decided to turn our home into a seaside retreat, even without the ocean view. The house and gardens gained soft colors, natural wood, light fabrics, and the free spirit of coastal homes. We learned to bring the style, the taste, and the slow rhythm of the coast into our everyday life. Now, every time we walk through our door, we feel that same joy as if we were arriving on vacation. And that’s what we want to share with you, how to recreate the coastal lifestyle in your own home, and make it a place where the sea can be felt, even if it can’t be seen.
