Since we can't go anywhere this weekend I can only dream of being in this gorgeous house designed by <a href="http://www.tomscheerer.com/" target="_blank">Tom Scheerer</a> that has enchanted me since the first time I laid my eyes on it.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">I love how the beauty of this house slowly reveals itself. As I keep looking at it I can notice the different colors and textures that at first are barely discernible due to the calmness in the colors. I also love how the playful patterns on the fabrics and wallpapers and the comfortable furniture make this house perfect for a family vacation home with a great degree of sophistication. As this house proves, a beach house doesn't have to lack grandeur.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 180%; font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #000099;">Have</span> <span style="color: red;">a happy</span> <span style="color: #000099;">4th of July</span></span><span style="color: red;
