California Dream Beach House With Navy, White, and Green Decor and Vibrant Pops of Color

This house was designed by San Diego based firm AGK Design Studio. They are amazing at coastal style homes. I found the site because I was looking for images of rugs for my family room, and one of their projects features the one I think I am going to buy (the Caitlin Wilson one if I can get it made in the right blue). I just need it to be a bit more teal:

Isn't it pretty?

Anyway, of course I poured over the entire portfolio. This was made favorite house, but you can view them all at the link above:

 

Isn't that something?

Before you go....here is what is in my sidebar these days. There is a lot to see:

Blue and White Room Perfection: Sourcing an Iconic Room for Less

When I first saw this room I about died and went to heaven. Isn't it gorgeous? I think it's a masterpiece in restraint. It would be so easy to choose pillows with pattern, a fancier hanging light, etc.  But here, the designer showed admirable restraint and there is just enough detail to make it a perfect example of quiet elegance. I love this room.

If you can pay $3500 plus tax and delivery for the sofa and $4500 for the rug, then run don't walk to Williams Sonoma and copy this room. I absolutely adore Williams Sonoma and their designers, but sadly, can't usually afford it. So of course I had to try to source this room for less.... a lot less.

Here is my less expensive version:

The cocktail table and rug are a bit of a splurge, but not as much as the originals, by a longshot. The coffee table in particular is hard to find. There are a lot with silver legs, but only a few with gold in normal price ranges. And I picked the rug because it is one of my favorites ever. The furniture is from PB, CB, etc - my staples for good quality and relatively affordable basics. Here are my picks, and then some options:
