I am posting this Dutch Colonial home today because it is not only beautifully designed, but also it’s a more reachable dream for most of us. This home show us that we don’t need to have a huge house to make it shine.
Designed by very talented interior designer Robin McCarthy, from Arch Studio, Inc., this Dutch Colonial was inspired by the shingle homes in the Hamptons.
The exterior has specific characteristics of a Dutch Colonial Home with lovely green shingles that work perfectly with the tall redwood trees. What curb-appeal!
Now, if you’re looking for inspiration for your home, this is it! You’ll love the kitchen, the bathroom and not to mention the lovely master bedroom, which has a very summery paint color.
The interiors of this Dutch Colonial feel elegant yet casual. Nothing is too stuffy or too precious, and that’s how most of us like to live. Isn’t it?

Hi!!! It’s honestly great to be back with another post.
The weather was great here and we had a wonderful weekend. Well, just as a write this, I can picture you guys imagining everything perfect around us… just like in the movies and commercials (the parents smiling while the kids run in the yard… add a dog too to complete the happy picture). To be honest, our weekend was wonderful because this is how I choose to see it. Wonderful is not a synonyms of perfect, right? 🙂
Now, let’s welcome this new week thinking positive and welcoming all the GOOD things that will happen to us!
A BIG, BIG hug to all of you!!!
that sinuous backsplash is insanely beautiful! hope you are all on the mend after that eventful weekend. always great to hear from you, L.!
smiles.

I wish you good luck on Mon for your tests (reading about the surgery which, I’m sorry to say I don’t the news about, I haven’t been blogging at all…) but I will definitely say a prayer for you. And it’s refreshing to hear about your problems — that might sound “odd” to say that, but I’m so sick of hearing about all the GREAT and FABULOUS times and weekends that some bloggers have. So when I hear something like this, coming to visit a blogger (YOU) that I like, it’s refreshing to hear some HONESTY, that a blogger is going through some ‘crappy’ times, like MOST of us are. So thank you for sharing. Again, I will pray for you, Luciane. Good luck on Monday. xxoo
Best,
Gloria
Good luck with the kids bug bits..scary. And take care of yourself..hope you don’t need the surgery! Just wait till 40…lol.
Beautiful charmer of a home…very inviting. Feel great Luciane!
Oh boy, you’ve had a crazy weekend, Luciane, but I know you’ll get good news today. And yes, after 30, it’s all downhill! Ha!
In the house, I want the flooring, the tiles on the porches, the backsplash in the kitchen, and…and..well, I’ll just take the whole thing. Gorgeous!
First glad to know your kids are ok after the bug bite that is the worst (mosquito? spider?) and now you with possible surgery I hope it does not happen. Now your post today is wonderful and love the kitchen and adore the backyard.
Hope everything gets better. My daughter got bit by a brown recluse and it was horrible. So I’m praying for you.
As for the house…LOVE IT ALL. I swear I could just move right in and be right at home. I agree with you on the back porch. I love it and wish I could re-create it for my backyard.
Thanks for posting such a gorgeous home. These pix are definitely going in my inspiration file.
