Coastal Living's 2008 Idea House

Every year, Coastal Living magazine feature's an "Idea House". Simply put, they build and create a house from scratch. Well, maybe that's not as simple as it sounds, however the end result is breathtaking.



This year's house is on the shores of Galveston, Texas. Showcasing a nautical cottage style, in neutrals with accents of blue, this house would be the perfect inspiration for any waterside home or cottage in Canada.

Here's just a few samples of the interior, you can see the full house tour and more here.
