Located in the beach town of Marblehead, Ma, this coastal cottage if filled with inspiring coastal interiors that lead towards a very comforting shabby-chic style.
Designed by Molly Frey Design, this is the kind of cottage that feels simple yet tailored and ready to embrace anyone that enters this home.
Take a look at this special cottage and tell me if it doesn’t make you relaxed just looking at these images… this is how you want to live!
Cottage with Inspiring Coastal Interiors
The interiors in this cottage are not big, but by choosing a very neutral color palette and having plenty of natural light, makes this cottage appear larger than it actually is.

Light fixture is the “Astoria Pendant“. Designer: Zia-Priven Design, from Stonegate Designs.

What a wonderful kitchen! I love the beadboard paneling and the open shelves. Notice the pendants above the island – they’re delicate and it has a vintage feel to it.

Isn’t this cottage adorable? I love seeing homes that are done just right! Nothing feels bare or overly decorated here… everything is calm and quiet. Don’t we like to feel that way when we open the door of our home?
I’m off today to buy (gosh, do we ever stop “buying things?! LOL) some snacks, backpacks, clothing and other things like that for the kids. My two older ones will start school soon and I want to have everything ready for it. It will be a busy day!
What do you have planned for today? Whatever you have to do, wherever you need to go, I hope you go feeling Blessed and safe.
Big hugs to you all and we’ll talk again tomorrow! 🙂
with Love,

Beautiful! Any chance you have the exterior paint color source? Very similar to what we are searching for – thank you!
Hi Kate.
Unfortunately I don’t have the source for the exterior paint color. Please, feel free to contact the designer. She might be able to help you with that:

Lovely! There were two armless chairs (in beige linen with bottom ruffle) shown in the room with the Ash colored walls. Do you happen to know where these were sourced from?
Hello Lynne,
These chairs look custom to me, but feel free to contact the designer for further information.

Do you by chance know where I could get the floor plan for this lovely cottage?
Wondering if you would be able to tell me the color of the master bedroom? Perhaps it says it, and I apologize if I missed it! Thank you in advance. Loreli
