A Weathered California Beach Home...

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;">I was scanning through some of Coastal living's images when I came across one of my all-time-favorite homes I love to drive by when I'm visiting Corona del Mar, California! <br />I have been dying to see the inside of this home for years - so when I came across these images you can imagine my surprise and excitement!<br />This home is as gorgeous on the inside as it is one the outside;  I love how they compliment each other so effortlessly!<br />The couple's new home encompasses the perfect combination of weathered wood with faded neutral colors to create the perfect west coast fuss-free home:<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
