Eclectic NJ Beach Bungalow Tour !

I had the pleasure of visiting a dear friend who just renovated her Jersey beach bungalow. I use to partner with Nancy up in Rhinebeck, NY in an antique business.  She has such a fabulous eye for the unexpected. She can find a treasure in a pile of garbage.  I also love how Nancy recycles pieces and arranges them in a cool, eclectic manner.  This is why it's so important to remember that new is good but vintage with interest makes the space. I can truly say that this is no cookie cutter home and it is as inviting as it is interesting and well done.  I hope you all have wonderful plans this weekend as we remember those who fought for this country to keep it free.  Now come along for a tour I know you will want to pin a few of these images for sure!!
Yes this is New Jersey!!




Did I mention she is an amazing chef!!

    Very homey and lots of clever ideas. It isn't the usual litany of current decor trends.

    Very special and eclectic, I love all of the salty touches, especially the whale over the fireplace would love to know the story on that piece. Have a great weekend.

    Great house! Love the kitchen and all the little nooks and vignettes around the house. That outside bar/counter area is fabulous!
