Our week at the beach has made us think about those certain architectural details that take a seaside home from bland and boring to chic and charming.

A house in Debordieu, the beach where we are spending a fun-filled week with our extended family. We hope you all have a wonderful week and are getting ready for the Fourth!

I LOVE Bermuda shutters! My sister is thinking about having them put in at the beach.
These images are just perfect.
Hope that your week is off to a great start.

These would be perfect if we lived in the beach or in cooler weather. Instead, Houston is blistering hot right now and we are in need of solar screens. One day...we will have a villa in MX and maybe then we can put these beauties to use :)

Honestly, I have never used this kind of shutters ever! Not even on holiday destinations. It's not common here in Holland (or should I say Europe?). Gorgeous houses though!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday time at the beach.
Such a pretty post full of shutter elegance.....so agree that shutters give a home such a charming effect and love doing them in soft colors as an accent, many homes look "complete" with the addition of shutters...lovely post! Hope you are having fun at the beach...I am too and sooo enjoying it~
Love bermuda shutters --- they are a great architectural element for a beach home.
Enjoy your week with family. We'll be at the beach as much as weather allows this weekend!!

LOVE shutters! I am a little jealous of your vaca. So dreamy. Hope you are having a great time!
Hey guys! We adore bermuda shutters. There is a house on a lake close to where we live that added them recently. Wow, what a difference it made. Our families are going to the beach as well. Hope you have a great time!
XO Angela and Renee
the Bermuda shutters are so charming...and I assume very functional as well...what a gorgeous classic feature of cottages...we still have a few cottages around our area that have retained their shutters..(not that I'm in Bermuda, though)...
excellent architectural detail..

I love shutters and big thick wooden blinds. Have fun this week with your family.
I love this post! I can feel the cool breeze and smell the salty air coming in through the windows. xx
That first house has me drooling. Love the x detail in the railings and of course, those Bermuda shutters. Have a great week at the beach.
They are gorgeous. Love the different colours too. Stunning! Have a great week. Emma.
Nice post,
you've really got a great eye on design detail. I'm lovin' those Bermuda shutter pics.
They looks so lovely and fresh.
They make a structure look so cool and idyllic.
These are so amazing and immediately put me in a tropical vacation kind of mindset! I wish Oregon's climate suited them but I guess I'll just have to go on vacation - or visit your blog - to enjoy them. :) Beautiful post!
This is just gorgeous! I dream of having a lovely beach house such as these some day!
I love the shutters and these homes really put in the mood for vacation! Have a great time at the beach with your family. xo
They're really beautiful! I love your posts... they always make me think "wow.. I also love this.." :-)
I hope you have a beautiful day!

We just painted our shutters a very pale gray, against the white brick it looks fantastic. Shutters to me give a home real personality. Very nice selection you posted here.
i've always wanted a house by the ocean with these types of shutters!
Hello ladies, hope you are having a royal time at the beach!
Stunning images - as always. I did not even know they were called Bermuda shutters (!). But being a Swede I know terms for anything that has to do with "window insulation". Ha!
Warm hugs to you both,
Mon
Great for keeping a home cool and shady. Love the color combo in you last photo. Have a wonderful vacation.
Have a wonderful trip! Your pics just reinforces my need to live at the beach!
Enjoy!

You hit on the perfect element that speaks volumes about being away on vacation!
I love you blog!
Happy 4th

Nothing makes me happier than being at the beach! I have never stayed at "Debby Doo"...we always stay in Litchfield or Pawleys. Maybe next time we will try it.
Great shutter post...I love it when it rains at the beach and the windows are open but the shutters are down.
Have a happy vacation!

Those scream beach!!! And I love them! The one in turquoise are gorgeous.
Happy weekend
I would love to have breakfast on that amazing terrace in the second photo mabe not every morning, but at least on vacation. :) How lovely those turquoise look on the white house. That would be the perfect summer house. :) Ada

These are gorgeous — I adore shutters and especially large ones that are actually useful as these are. (I despise faux shutters) Have you seen the architecture of Hugh Newell Jacobsen? He has some interesting uses of shutters and different systems. These are so inspiring — thanks for sharing :)
look so perfect.....all the shutters so much co ordinate to the beauty.
