Grand Tours: Texas Gulf Coast Beach Getaway

Southern Living ’s Port Aransas Idea House on the Texas Gulf Coast is a light and airy beach retreat with lots of room for family and friends.

Light pours into the room through a bank of windows in this built-in dining nook. A custom cushion was built for the bench along the back wall that scoots up to a picnic-style table with a zinc inlay top. Two vintage pendant lights are hung with nautical-style rope.

$For the effect of wallpaper at a fraction of the price, a graphic floral stencil was used on the back wall of the first floor master bedroom. Mirrored round night tables, jute floor coverings, and a long wooden bench at the foot of the bed add interest and texture to the room. The headboard is covered in a soft blue linen slipcover that can easily be tossed in the washing machine.$
