sunday tradition ~ part fifteen

For part fifteen of my Sunday tradition, I chose a summer favorite from 2006, a Sag Harbor home designed by Ruby Beets Old & New…inviting and soothing, I’m passionate for the palette and relaxed ease of the interiors…the wall color evokes the sea on a winter day…sofas are slipcovered in a washable cotton duck…the reproduction dining table takes on an aged driftwood gray patina after receiving a thin coat of whitewash…the 1920s lyre-back chairs hail from an old hotel in Maine…kitchen and dining room cabinets (close up below) were rescued from a local hardware store, painted ebony, they provide the perfect backdrop for a collection of white dishes, a lovely mix of vintage and new ironstone…this home may have started out as a shingle box built in 1986 but with tremendous vision and creativity, it has been transformed into an artful gem brimming with personality and beauty…enjoy!

If you love this seaside home, then you may want to check out Ruby Beets Old & New located in Sag Harbor…the shop combines decorative antiques, vintage and contemporary furniture, lighting, accessories, art and photography…I have yet to visit the store in person but I’m a huge fan of their 1st dibs storefront and website…I hope to plan a trip to Sag Harbor someday soon!
