Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a blog party I host at the end of every week to celebrate the things that make us happy.
This week I’m hooked on Brooke Giannetti’s house, which is only a hop and a skip to the beach.
Brooke is the talented designer behind the beautiful blog Velvet & Linen. She gave a tour of her home on her blog recently, and I knew I would like it the minute I saw this charming front porch.
Brooke says, “We built it seven years ago, but Steve and I wanted it to feel like an old beach cottage.”
The enclosed garden room used to be the back porch.
Brooke says, “It is a great place to sit and watch the kids in the pool or just read a book. I keep dreaming of putting a little desk in here. I would love to work and look out into the garden.”
Thanks to Brooke for providing these photos.
To see the rest of her home, visit Velvet & Linen and take the tour.
Hi Julia. I’ve been in such a cottage-kind of mood lately that I’m delighted to be introduced to Velvet & Linen! Thank you for including such beautiful photographs. ~Arleen

I’m faint with longing for the large clock on the stairs, paired with the grandfather clock too. And whilst I wouldn’t normally choose those pinks and greens on display in the kitchen, they work beautifully here!

You’re too funny Julia! I’m sure she wouldn’t know you’re there either. hehe! I saw that post when she first put it up and I just fell in love. She’s an amazing designer and I love her work. She lives the fabulous life, for sure. Hope you have a great day!

DesignTies’s last blog post..Ready… set… GARDEN!!
The V&L house is just too good. Y’all design bloggers post so many great designs on the web. But there aren’t so many that make me want to be there – that make me feel so comfortable. For me Brooke’s and Mr. Brooke’s (I hear he’s no slouch, himself) beach house is the total package.
Terry Kearns’s last blog post..Starter Home $368/square foot
What a great house! Love the green accents on the front (perfect with the roses/hydrangeas (can’t tell what they are)!). Also love the wooden walls and ceiling in the sunroom.

I’m glad you shared her house! Your blog and hers are my two very favorites 🙂 If you read her blog, she’s thinking of redecorating. I love it as is. She is as nice as can be. Both she and her husband are so talented!
I fell in love with her house too when she did a house tour on her blog. She’s done an amazing job!

A great choice for today Julia – Brooke’s home is gorgeous, xv.
Vicki Archer’s last blog post..I am thinking about food for the weekend…
That cottage is adorable! I’m so jealous… I have friends with beautiful girly, romantic homes like this. I wish I could get away with it, but I don’t think my husband would go with the shabby chic pink and green everywhere. I would be loving it though! It would feel like vacation every day.
I’m so glad I got to play along this week:-) Have a great weekend!
LOVE that kitchen with the McCoy and jadite. I would never leave that room!
Slowish Food’s last blog post..Whoo-hoo! Guess Who’s One Year Old?
