I love this Fire Island, NY beach cottage that belongs to Alex Bates- the creative director of West Elm. There are so many things I like about it- the contemporary mixed with old, all of the white (esp the high gloss white ceilings), the old-style cedar shingles, and even the blue kitchen floor!
Alex's house definitely makes me long for a beach cottage...

Brooke,
You are up so early. I guess you are just getting ready! I was 27 weeks yesterday, and I cannot believe how quickly the time has just flown by! I never got back with you on the calling cards. I wanted a set for just Hattie Hicks and one for just Lilly Hicks. I also wanted one set with both names. Are you still feeling like doing them. Just let me know. I just love to look at your blog, AND the nursery is wonderful!

Very, very nice...I could enjoy staying there!
what a gorgeous home. I have been looking for a side table like the one on the porch, love it.
Love it as well - makes me want to move right in and the outside is as gorgeous as the inside.
love that porch....the whole house is very simple and just lovely.
It looks so peaceful (and gorgeous!).
I love this house, wish it was my weekend house. Or just my regular house. And of course I loved getting a peek in W.E. execs place!
That home epitomizes Fire Island, it has been years since I have been there, but the feeling those images give you are the same feeling the island gives you when you are there.
wow... such a great get away spot!
The pics in the bathroom have given me a great idea. I love this place. We're looking for an apartment now and I'm really wishing I could find a place that is painted such a crisp white.
Lovely and calming spaces. I can feel the breezes now!
Its funny that he is the creative director, because I really dont see anything that looks West Elm-ish in his place. But I do love it!
I have so many great memories of Fire Island. Thanks for sharing.
stunning!!
I have always dreamed of having a beach cottage and I would want it to look just like this! It's heavenly!
