This vintage-scandinavian-beach-cottage vignette was one of my favorite parts of the house. It represented the style and aesthetic of the whole place. I was a touch saddened when I packed it all up. But seeing these new photos of the setting, with its new life, take all of that away. I was very nervous about having white walls, but with the white shelf and dresser, the blue and green glass really pops. Plus I love the texture created by the white-on-white look. What a great inspiration! Yes, you can (re)create clean cottage style in an apartment!
