Feature Friday: Classic Casual Home

It’s been 10 years since I found Mary Ann’s beautiful blog, Classic Casual Home, but when I clicked over and saw her gorgeous home, I fell in love. She was living in a Newport Beach cottage home then, but has since moved to a 1920’s high rise in San Francisco with a Beaux Arts feel. You’re going to love it!

She has a gorgeous view of San Francisco Bay from her windows now and it’s just stunning. Mary Ann also does design work for others.

What a view!

Mary Ann has a classic timeless style with a mix of Traditional and vintage finds, all put together with such style. I know you’ll love her look.

As her blog name says, it’s a Classic casual home and oozes elegance and style.

Mary Ann is great at styling her fireplace, here are a couple of looks for the seasons. I have a very similar mirror so she has given me great ideas to do with it.

Again, with the view.

Dining area with a mix of white and natural.

Can you imagine the sunsets from this window?

Galley kitchen.

Views from all windows.

Master bedroom

Guest room

Mary Ann’s small office, but with a beautiful view.

I hope you enjoyed this new look at Mary Ann’s current home. If you’re not following her at Classic Casual Home, you will really enjoy her a lot. She’s an over 50 blogger like myself and has great taste in clothing and home decor.

    I’d take that “look to the right” water view any day – I miss the Pacific! Love that your featured Mary Ann, she is such a sweetheart and I love her decorating style!

    I have loved Mary Ann’s home ever since I saw the before and afters. Very like my home (the befores, not so much the afters). It really gave me hope for what can be achieved in a small 50’s bungalow with good bones.

      HI, Gina, mine is from Decor Steals, a flash sale site. But here’s another one that’s similar from Home Depot. https://rstyle.me/+FDqyc4WFKlHA11RYZYOW2A
