On Remodalista I can accross this beautiful fisherman’s cottage on Shelter Island, USA. The cottage, which was built in 1904, has been renovated by NY-based architects Rhea White and Steve Schappacher of Schappacher White.
The owners, who bought the house as a weekend retreat, were acutally looking for something more modern but when they saw this cottage they couldn’t resist making an offer.
Throughout the interiors, whites, off whites, and sand colors have been used. Black and natural wood was used as contrasts.
A gorgeous rocking chair.
A mix of modern pieces, antiques, and found objects has been used to decorate the rooms.

Love this cottage. I dream of a cottage like this some day. Especially love the TV under the stairs. Great idea!

I agree, the TV hidden under the stairs is a clever way to encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors instead. And who wouldn’t want to, with such an incredible patio!

I love the black/white/cream color theme throughout. I wish I had that kind of discipline. It’s such a calming effect. Love it!

Love this place. I don’t think I love every room and every detail. Oh I wish.

I really love the look of this little home! That chalkboard wall is inspiring me to do the same in my kitchen.
