Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Beach House

  Hello, my dear friends! How are you today? Were you able to relax over the weekend? We’re having a very harsh winter and I felt I needed to take a few days to recharge my energy and try to stay positive, knowing that spring will show its beauty not too far from now. Talking about that, this dreamy and happy beach house by Marnie Oursler of Marnie Custom Homes (@marnieoursler) is a place that can certainly cheer you up and make your day feel brighter!

Here’s the homeowner and designer sharing more insights on this beautiful beach house:

  “This 6,400-square-foot single-family Bethany Beach, DE home was designed, built and decorated by owner Marnie Oursler. This is Marnie’s former personal home located just one block from the beach with no detail overlooked!

The inverted floor plan capitalizes on waterfront views, with guest suites on the second level, a great room, kitchen and dining area on the third floor and a fourth-floor master suite. The top floor offers the best beach views, while the separate guest level provides privacy for visitors.

Marnie got creative with this home’s design with both the ability to maximize the available space—while efficiently adding custom built-ins, hidden doors, vaulted ceilings, doggie room, elevator and luxury finishes throughout. The home’s overall open plan is functional and modern with a vintage, beachy vibe.”

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Beach House

Marnie wanted a classic New England look for her personal home, so she chose weather resistant NuCedar Shingles in Sherwin Intellectual Gray that gives the appearance of cedar without the maintenance.

Red Front Door

The homeowner chose Benjamin Moore Heritage Red for her front door because it signifies good luck.

Front door – Custom Simpson Door- similar here –  Color: Benjamin Moore Heritage Red.

Foyer

The entry level includes a spacious foyer with tile flooring that mimics the look of brick.

Shiplap painted Sherwin Williams Pearly White.

Barn Door

A chalkboard wall, along with a custom barn door, becomes the focal point of this space. Door and trim paint color is Benjamin Decorator’s White in High Gloss (throughout the house).

Shiplap

All Shiplap is  “Sherwin Williams Pearly White”.

Kitchen

To create the ideal kitchen, Marnie designed a 14.5-foot-long island with two countertops—a four-inch-thick walnut countertop provides a seating area for six, while a Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo white quartz countertop provides an ideal prep area.

Recessed lighting and a tray ceiling above both islands create a very clean look.

The kitchen provides the ideal space for prepping and entertaining with a bar in the adjacent family room that completes this entertainment space.

Barstools: Restoration Hardware Hudson Parsons – similar here & here – Other Popular Choices: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Double Islands

Marnie chose two different countertops to break up the all white surrounding it and likes the wood for mealtimes as it mimics a kitchen table.

Cabinets: @DécorCabinets painted “Benjamin Moore Decorators White”.

Layout

The large island’s size maximizes the room’s storage and offers fully integrated appliances while the elevator’s close proximity is ideal for unloading groceries.

Dishwasher: ASKO Logic Dishwasher D5554XXLFI.

Backsplash

Additional elements include squares of beadboard in the coffered ceiling to add character, a stainless steel RangeCraft hood and a glass-mosaic backsplash from AKDO that correlates to the seaside setting.

 Great Room

You can’t go wrong with blue and white at a beach house. It’s a classic. Marnie did shiplap walls (painted Pearly White by Sherwin-Williams), added white oak floors from Old Wood Delaware (@oldwoodde) in a herringbone pattern, and painted the back of the bar and the coffered ceilings pale blue (Iceberg by Sherwin-Williams). A polished nickel light fixture and a stainless steel range hood from the nearby kitchen tie the spaces together.

Master Bathroom

Frosted glass French pocket doors open to this spacious, marble master bathroom with vaulted and beamed ceiling that mimic the bedroom. Marnie streamlined the design by choosing one material (Carrara marble) and using it several ways. There’s a slab on the counter, rectangular tiles for the backsplash, and larger tiles laid in a herringbone pattern on the floor. The result? Subtle differences that don’t clash. She paired the cool stone with mirrors and sconces in a polished chrome finish.

A Dutch door leads to the mudroom, laundry and powder room. Marnie chose Dutch doors for the laundry area and tied in the brick floor from the foyer along the mud room wall.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram If you’ve read Home Bunch for some time you might recognize Hollie from @artfulhomestead. I first featured Hollie’s main home on “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” in 2016 and she has been featured many other times on Home Bunch after that, but today she comes back not to feature her main home, but instead her dreamy vacation home. Here she talks more about this exciting time of her life: “I have always wanted to be a homemaker, I know that sounds outdated but I was born in the 50’s. My love for decor didn’t blossom though until Mr. G and I bought our 4th home in 1982. I remember the day clearly as if it was yesterday when my mother in law said to me “ Hollie you need to save some of your household money and buy a knock knack once in a while”. So my quest to make our homes lovely began on that day. This is our 16th home that we like to refer to as “ our sunny home”. My style has evolved over the years and I am now in a phase of simplicity. My color palette is shades of white and blue. Linen of different hues is my choice when it comes to upholstery. I mix vintage finds, which are mostly passed down from generations gone by. I love setting a pretty table even if it’s an ordinary day. The knick knacks I now use are mostly useful items as well as pretty to look at. I love placing a stack of plates on top of a cake stand, beautiful handmade pottery is also all about my home. I believe everything I decorate with needs to earn its keep and must be useful or have a story to tell. Everyone can have a beautiful home and the key ingredient is heart not money, because we all have a story to tell and that is what makes a house a home.” Beautiful Homes of Instagram Blue Gray Front Door Paint Color: Stone by Restoration Hardware.

Jackye in Charleston!

I have always loved Atlanta interior designer Jacquelynne aka Jackye Lanham’s style.  I love her use of fine antiques mixed with casual fabrics.  And I love how she displays antique accessory collections, especially the plates on the wall.   Jackye has always been a bit under the radar – there’s no coffee table book with all her designs in it, although I wish there was!  Hint, hint!!!    But, several of her projects have made a lasting effect on design, in my opinion

1992 - Southern Accents featured Jackye’s own beach house all in blue and white years before blue & white became so on trend, as it is today.  And look!  Shiplap – years before Joanna Gaines made shiplap so hip.

  This magazine cover of a bedroom by Jackye became an instant classic.  Her fabulous set of intaglios was universally loved.

Jackye’s house with her scalloped curtains and wonderful slips – filled with antiques and old portraits - was another much loved project of hers.

This cover showed a breakfast room by Jackye.  It has to be in the Top Ten Most Memorable covers of Southern Accents.

Everyone remembers this cover which showed a collection of brown and white transferware mixed with a bold check fabric.  To DIE for!!

Architectural Digest published this beach house in South Carolina with its pale slips and a striped dhurri.

This bedroom by Jackye had a painted Swedish antique chest – long before everyone started reproducing them.  LOVE!!!!

Everyone uses this tub…now.  Jackye used it years ago.

Her kitchens are some of her more beautiful rooms.  Here, these two brown shuttered cabinets look more like furniture.  I love the open shelving on the bank of cabinets at the left.

This beauty mixes a pewter collection with a pewter-look hood and pendants.  LOVE!!!!

A more recent design, this house by Jackye was in Atlanta Homes.  Notice how she treated the asymmetrical door – by balancing it with a chest and a print.  And love this – instead of a large coffee table, she used two garden seats.

A feminine living room in soft colors – her trademark.  I adore this room!!

Here, in another recent project, Jackye used antiques and a printed fabric, mixed with collections of old bottles and creamware – with touches of black.

  At this year’s much lauded Southeastern Designer Showhouse and Gardens, Jackye received the high praise of being named Honorary Chair.  She and her assistant designed the foyer.

And there was also this.

Do you remember the story in Southern Accents – back in 2006 – about Jackye’s house in Charleston??

Jackye, based in Atlanta, would come to Charleston to shop for clients.  She and her husband fell in love, hard, with the city and they decided to look for a small house there to combine business with pleasure.  After a two day search, they found a three story original built in 1778 – small enough that they called it a pied a terre.   In 2006, Southern Accents featured the pied a terre and the pictorial made a lasting impression, judging from the number of pins taken from the story.  

Recently, the Lanham’s Charleston house was put up for sale and I spotted it while perusing South Carolina real estate listings, a new favorite pastime of mine.   The house is notable for its original mantels, pine floor and cypress paneling.  Jackye had fully restored the house with new wiring, plumbing and HVAC, along with a new kitchen.  There is also a private garden ala Charleston.

The house was originally built for a cooper, or a barrel maker (what is that?!?!) and he used it as both his private home and the shop where he met with clients. 

The tiny brick house is attached to a pink stucco beauty.  Notice the large stone step at the front door.  This is the door used by the original owner’s customers.  It was placed high off the sidewalk so that clients could enter right from their carriages.

Jackye added the curved brick wall to provide privacy to the garden and front door.  The front door is actually at the side of the house.

2006:  As seen in Southern Accents’ 2006 Christmas issue, the newly built curved privacy wall is not landscaped.  Nor is there the stone step at the front door.  Nor is there a window box.  Notice that today – the shutters on the front windows are closed for a reason you will see inside.

The long ago history of the house is posted out front.

The gate at the curved wall leads toward the front door and the private garden.

Behind the curved wall that Jackye installed is the side/front door.

And opened.

The front door opens to the center stairhall.  The kitchen/dining room is on the right and the living room is on the left.  Ahead is the powder room, down the half stairs.

The powder room.

The view from the stairs looking down at the foyer.  Jackye hung her large collection of antique prints and silhouettes on the paneled walls.

A glimpse into the living room from the entry hall.  Look familiar?

2006:  The pictorial was a Christmas story.  The living room as seen in Southern Accents.  Jackye used ticking for the curtains to make the 10’ ceilinged room seem less formal.  Ticking slips cover the sofa.  Her trademark antique trunks double as a coffee table.  Beautiful antique chandelier and mirror.

I remember this photoshoot so well.  It seems like yesterday, not over 11 years ago!

2006:  Across from the sofa are these two gorgeous leather chairs.  Not a pair, though.  The portrait is circa 1810!  LOVE!

2006:  Jackye bought this desk in Charleston.

Today:  The room looks almost exactly as it did, just a bit more lived in with books added.   The two French doors lead to the back garden.

Today:  The leather chairs.  This is what you call Patina!

Today:   The view from the living room to the dining/kitchen.

Today.   The French doors in the living room – lead out to the back garden.

Today.  The shutters are actually operational – and they can close off the doors.

The garden with the antique trough/fountain along the back wall.

Another view.

2006:  Across from the living room is the original shop from the 18th century, which is now the kitchen/dining room.  Here the chairs were slipped in a gray toile.

2006:  The galley kitchen.  I think I would have installed a small range instead of those stacked ovens which would make the counter all one height.  Remember the two shutters at the front windows which were open in 2006 and closed in 2017?   Here you can see the shutters are open behind the cabinets which lets in extra light.

2006:  By the door, the bar.

Today:  The kitchen.  Here you can see the original front door that opened to the former shop.  OK.  I don’t care for those rugs!!!   I”m sorry!!!    They seem a bit too busy here.  The slips on the chairs are different now.

Today:  The galley kitchen.  Perfect for a small vacation house.  But, still, a small range would take up so much less space and the counter would be longer.  And here, you can see that the shutters are now closed.

Another view of the updated slips.

Today:  You can really tell that someone loves to cook and eat in this family!

Today:  The view of the bar and into the living room.   The cabinets seen here are original to the house.   Such a cute house!!!

2006:  From Southern Accents, the stairs with all the art work.  Notice the risers are painted gray.

Today:  The second floor landing.  The master bathroom is seen down the landing.

2006:  The Southern Accents photoshoot in the master bedroom.

2006:  Southern Accents,  the chest across from the bed.  Gorgeous, antique mirror.

Today:   The master bedroom.  The original hearth on the fireplace is interesting – it is brick. 

2006:  As seen in Southern Accents.  The master bath was created out of a room.

Today:  The bathroom was added to the small house.  Two armoires divide the dressing room from the tub room.

Today – looking at the vanity from the bath area.

Between the two armoires is the bath area where the original fireplace is located.

Today:  the marble shower.

The landing on the third floor – shows one of the guest rooms.

This guest room has another canopy bed with a chest and fireplace.

Today:  The two bedrooms on this floor each have sinks in their bedroom, as seen here.

A view of the sink vanity and the door with its original hardware.

The view of the landing up to the 4th floor loft and into the second guest room on the third floor.

The guest room and bathroom.

Today:  The guest room has it’s own fireplace with the brick hearth.

And it has its sink in the corner. 

Today:  Lots of curtains.

BEFORE:  From Southern Accents, 2006.  The guest room was shown, with the antique hanging corner cabinet in focus.  Jackye said since the guest room had only a small bed, the curtains were more dramatic.

2006:  The nightstand got its own photo with part of Jackye’s salt glaze pitcher collection.

The 4th floor attic loft has room for more fun.  The rough floor boards were painted gray.

The laundry room doubles as another bathroom.

Laundry & bathroom.

                                                                                                                                            The attic bedroom is not furnished.   Love the painted wood floors.  If needed, this room would make a great bunk room for grandkids or extra guests.

This darling house is for sale HERE for $1,795,000.

And like all the antiques Jackye has?  Many are now on sale:

HERE.

Like a natural rug like Jackye uses?

Stark’s natural fiber rugs on sale HERE.

Incredible Stark area rugs at great prices!!!  HERE.

HOUSTON RENOVATION FOR SALE!!

  When my daughter Elisabeth was in middle school, we hired a tutor that who would come to our house every afternoon to help her with her studies.  Jenny continued to come until Elisabeth left for college and by then, Jenny was getting married and having her own children.  Needless to say, we spent a lot of time with her and she became a part of the family.   Smart as a whip, beautiful, soft spoken – Jenny was a life saver.

Over the years, Jenny and her husband have moved a few times – each time,  buying a house that is a better investment than the last, because she and her husband are both very business savvy.  Her latest house is located in one of the best neighborhoods in town where young families with 2.5 are all hoping to move in.  They completely remodeled their house and now they are moving on – leaving this house for another young family to love. 

Jenny showed me the photos of her reno and I thought you would be interested in seeing them.   It’s a textbook example of how to take a 60s ranch house and turn it into a comfortable, updated, and modernized house for the millennium.

  BEFORE:    The house was a very pretty ranch – very much Houston from circa 1960s.  

    AFTER:   The biggest change made was Plantation Shutters were installed inside – they create a unified look along the front facade.  Another change is the beautiful gas lanterns and new address plate.    The trim was painted a soft gray.   A new sprinkler system and French drains were installed!  Nice!!

  INSPIRATION:  Unified window treatments dress up a ranch.

TIP:   Although Jenny chose not to do this, many people are painting their brick houses – white, gray or taupe.  Painting the brick can really update the house.

  AFTER:   The house is on a corner.  The owners added a new garage and in the space of the former garage, they added a much used playroom and a workout room.

  AFTER:  The new gas lanterns add so much, as does the new address plate and the gray paint.

The house was built in 1959 and is 3570 sq. ft.

The biggest change was made this year when a brand, spanking, completely new HVAC system was put in, including new duct work.

  For Houston, this will mean a very cool summer – think 68 degrees inside.

Chill.

  INSPIRATION:  Gas lanterns add masses of curb appeal.

  BEFORE:  The layout is a typical ranch in Houston – living room and dining room on the left and family room, straight back from the foyer.  The biggest change to the interior decor were the installation of new hardwoods – most of the house had carpet which needed to be removed.  The new floors are fabulous and were a great change!!

    TODAY:   Here you can see the new wide plank hardwoods in the gray stain that is so popular today.  The lantern was removed in place of recessed lights. 

TIP:  The floors are:  MASTER CRAFT PALLADIO ANTIQUE OAK

  BEFORE:   Off the front foyer is the living room – with the dining room behind it.

    BEFORE:  Today, most people in Houston with this floor plant turn the living room into the dining room and the dining room into an office or playroom, which is exactly what these owners did.  Most of us never use a formal living room – but we do need larger dining rooms than what was standard in the 1950s and 1960s, when this house was built.

    TODAY:   The living room is now the dining room – which allows the family to seat 10-12 people at the dining table.  Double brass lanterns highlight the room.   The walls and ceiling and molding are all painted one color which updates the house and gives it a bit of a contemporary look.   In the former dining room, there is now a study.  

INSPIRATION:  To update a house with non-descript trim, paint the walls, trim and ceiling the same color.  Use 1/2 strength formula on the ceiling.

TIP:   Paint  Sherwin Williams Repose Gray

  AFTER:  The view towards the foyer show the host chairs.

  TIP:  To keep chandeliers from creating light streaks as seen here – use frosted bulbs!  Also, I use the silicone tipped bulbs in low wattages which creates a very soft look.  Below is the link to the bulbs I use, if you are interested.  I buy a box of them, which lasts longer. 

    I use this for chandeliers – click on photo for info.

    For sconces – I use this silicone tipped bulb.  I also use these in a lot of lamps where I don’t want a bright light.  I’m not a fan of really bright rooms, but that’s a personal preference. 

Click on the bulb for info.

  For modern chandeliers – check out the vintage Edison bulbs.  There are different varieties for every type of fixture. 

Click on bulb for more info.

BEFORE:  The dining room.  You can see how small this room was – with seating for only 8 at most.  The kitchen is reached through this room.

    AFTER:   Today – the former dining room is now the library.   The mirrored wall was removed and shelves and cabinets were built to create an office/study/library.  Perfect!

    AFTER:  They added a new light – and notice the cabinets’ feet!  This small detail added much luxe.

    I really like how Jenny styled the shelves!   She used a series of prints along one section of shelves and above and below them, she added antique books.   The sunburst mirror is a focal point you can see from the dining room.

    BEFORE:  The foyer leads to the family room that overlooks the back yard.  The corner fireplace is another typical feature of this Houston floorplan.

  BEFORE:  The view towards the bar that looks into the kitchen.

  TODAY:  The family room has been totally renovated.  New French doors replace the sliders.  The fireplace was updated with a coat of white paint.  

  AFTER:  a beautiful built in media center against the back wall adds so much to the room!  Plus it creates a home for the flatscreen.  This is a great idea. 

  Closeup of the newly built-ins which is perfect for the flatscreen.  It prevents the flatscreen from becoming a focal point when it is surrounded by shelves filled with books and art objects.

TIP:  Flatscreens over fireplaces tend to become focal points.  Try to find another place for the TV if possible.

  AFTER:  And here – you can see the kitchen was opened up – the small pass-through was enlarged by taking out the cabinets and walls surrounding it.

  BEFORE:   The pass-through to the kitchen with the breakfast room to the right.  While the area has charm with the brick wall – the area was ripe for updating and making it more up-to-date.

  AFTER:   The same area is now clean-lined and more effective as a bar.  The small pass-through was enlarged by removing the side cabinets and opening up the wall to the ceiling and enlarging the counter – now, a more useful and much larger bar has been created.

  BEFORE:  Carpeted breakfast room – hmmm.   An outdated slider and old fashioned paneling, along with that 60s style chandelier.  How many of you grew up or owned a chandelier like this?  These were so popular!!!

  AFTER:  Past the bar is the breakfast room that overlooks the back yard.  New French doors open the area up to the terrace.   The carpet was removed and replaced with the wide planked wood floor.  The wallpaper was removed and the paneling was painted which makes it disappear.  Love the chairs in gray fabric and love the two round convex mirrors that flank the French doors.

    AFTER:   The breakfast room – through the door is the new playroom and workout room and further on, the garage.

    BEFORE:   The kitchen had been updated along the way with tiled floors and white Formica.  The former dining room and dry bar is through the door on the left.

      BEFORE:  The kitchen with the view towards the breakfast room.  Where the door is – leads to the garage.  Today, the garage is now a playroom and workout room.

  BEFORE:  The footprints of the kitchen remained, but it’s all new appliances, subway tile, farm sink, and shaker cabinets with quartz countertops. 

  View towards the playroom and workout room.

  The area between the study/old dining room and kitchen is now a dry bar with built in shelves for glasses.

  AFTER:   Two years ago, the playroom was added in the former garage space.  This is such a wonderful space for a family with young children and teenagers!!  French doors overlook the backyard.

  AFTER:  On the other side of the playroom in the former garage is this fabulous workout room!!

      BEFORE:   Off the family room leading to the bedrooms is the study which is also the 4th bedroom.  Carpeted.

    TODAY:   The study has new wood floors and new French doors that lead to the terrace.  The doors close off and this is a flex 4th bedroom.  The new owners can easily close off this doorway to create a more private bedroom if needed. 

    AFTER:  The powder Room with new vanity sink.

    BEFORE:   The front bedroom.  Laura Ashley bedding! Remember this?!?!  And the white wicker.  How many bedrooms looked just like this?!?!  Memories!!!

    BEFORE:   The bathroom that connects to the front bedroom.

    AFTER:   The front bedroom has two windows with plantation shutters and new wood floors.

INSPIRATION: These two elements – new hardwoods and plantation shutters really make such a huge difference.

  TIP:  The bedroom walls are a different paint color:  Sherwin Williams:  Mindful Gray 

    AFTER:   The bathroom that connects to the front bedroom.

    BEFORE:   The second bedroom.

  AFTER:   The second bedroom with new wood floors and plantation shutters.

NOTE:  Jenny told me she regrets painting the closet doors white, but I don’t necessarily agree.  I kind of like them painted a bright white.  What do you think? 

  Another view.

  BEFORE:   The second bathroom with 60s styled tile counters and walls.

  AFTER:  New quartz counters, extra sink, and wood floors totally update the bathroom.   The wall of tiles was removed and replaced with sheetrock. 

INSPIRATION:  New counters and floors make the bathroom new with a minimum of expense.

    AFTER:  From the entry, this hall leads to the bedrooms.  Love the seagrass runner – it adds texture and a neutral color that looks good against the gray.  At the end of the hall is the master bedroom.

    BEFORE:  The master bedroom with the bay window that overlooks the back terrace.

  BEFORE:  Another view of the master bedroom.

  TODAY:    The master bedroom with wood floors, seagrass and plantation shutters.

  Another view of the master bedroom.

  BEFORE:   The bathroom with carpet.  Is this England?!?!   Just kidding!

    AFTER:  The bathroom is now marble tile with a large walk in shower. 

  Two vanities with double sconces.   There are three closets in the master bedroom, one which is reached here.

    TODAY: Large backyard with pergola.

  There is a large lawn with a swing set and gym.

If you are interested in this house - HURRY!  It won’t last long!! 

This is a very much in-demand neighborhood and the house is a total redo!!
