Eclectic House Tour – The Glamorous Housewife

 

California Cottage Style with The Glamorous Housewife home tour at kellyelko.com

That porch, that green dutch door, that climbing wisteria vine, that porch glider scream California cottage style.

The perfect house … fit for The Glamorous Housewife – Bethany and her family – who live in sunny California.

California cottage tour - love the green dutch door kellyelko.com

At first glance, the peony wreath on the emerald green dutch door says this is no ordinary house.

In fact, this house has been featured in Country Living magazine.

 

It’s fun to see how the magazine styled the house completely differently than the everyday look.

Here’s Bethany’s incredible kitchen …

  1. This house is incredible, the architecture and built ins are beautiful, the only thing that could make this better, is if it was on a lake.

  2. Why does Country Living want to change perfection? I like the real version much better than their grayed down less colorful version. i

  3. Kelly, this is one of the most fantastic houses I have ever seen! The colors, the mix of vintage and sophistication, the pattern – it just makes my little heart go pitter patter PITTER PATTER!

  4. Wow, where is this house? Where? I must go see the front of it at least in person. Probably down at the other end of the coast from where I live. It is gorgeous!! I really prefer the styling the homeowner did, especially for the breakfast nook. How funny, the two looks were so totally opposite. Really neat that you can get such two different looks from one space with just a few changes in throw pillows and fabrics. This might be my favorite so far.

  5. If you can fall in love with a house, I just did. I will be pinning and pinning. Thank you for sharing. I especially love the pics of how the homeowner styles it vs. what Country Living did with it.

  6. Wow, what a beautiful home! It was interesting to see what Country Living did to it too. I bet the homeowners loved having that done, so much fun! Thanks for the pretty photos and I’m Pinning that ceiling {wow} and that nook and that bedroom – gorgeous!

  7. WOW – what a gorgeous home – love everything about it – but that master bedroom is just out of this world!!!
    Congrats on your feature at Savvy Southern Style ( I did a home tour that was featured too lol )
    Hugs,
    Suzan
