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.

To create an architectural headboard in a boxy space, the designer created a 12-inch deep, 5-foot-high wall along the back wall. The bed, covered in a playful butterfly-patterned spread, is centered on the wall, flanked by industrial-style side tables. To add an element of age, an antique patchwork rug is laid over a textured jute rug.

A small porch sits beneath the family room porch just outside the downstairs master bedroom. Set among the dunes, it’s the perfect spot for enjoying an early morning outdoors.
