take a little trip with me


Alys Beach, Florida truly is a litte glimpse of the mediterranean
on the Gulf of Mexico.  There is such love and care in the 
design.  

This is what will great you went you go to get your keys from
the property management.  No stinky office here!





The thoughtfulness in design abounds.

Three hanging planters here....


mirrors the three windows on the adjacent wall...


And a symbol you may spot at the coffee shop...


You might just spy it again on a home down the street.





I tell ya...I don't think there are any beautiful accidents here.

contribution to this post.  We thank you, W!)

Okay, no more commentary from me for the rest of these
pictures.  You will see a mix of both Alys and Seaside.  Enjoy!

















You know I couldn't stay quiet for long...check out the
playground at the coffee shop.  Does this tell ya anything?














I had to take a shot of their legs!!  These women are like
74-years-old.  The people looked like their surroundings here.

I hope your labor day is this restful......Julie

oh--and a few pictures of my great room!  (an Atlanta designer's place, no less :)

  2. Wonderful. This June the CNU took a bus tour of the New Urban places in the SE: Seaside, Rosemary, Alys Beach, Serenbe et al.. I was fortunate to attend a discussion group about it. The though Alys Beach was the over best both in planning and in the architecture.

  9. I have wanted to stay at Alys Beach since I saw pictures a couple of summers ago! I've stayed at Seaside a couple of times, but it's so crowded now and the hurricanes have made the beach really small. Is Alys set up like Seaside? With most of the houses across 30A from the beach?

    Just found you on BYW! Nice blog!
