Happy Friday, friends! Today’s Feature Friday is a really beautiful home north of Seattle, WA on an island called Fidalgo. Meet Julie, a Californian who moved to WA state and built her dream home! I didn’t know this when I met her on Instagram, but she told me my blog is one of the first blogs she ever read and she has been quietly following along for years. I had no idea, but loved her Instagram feed and her Instagram name, Make Mine a Spritzer. I began seeing her beautiful photos and wanted to feature her home, but I noticed there was not a blog associated with her Instagram account. Note: Juliet has since started a blog of the same name Make Mine a Spritzer, so go over and visit!
I messaged her and asked if I could feature her anyway and she wrote me back the sweetest email and so here we are and I’m going to show all of you her gorgeous home on this island near Seattle, which I’m sure have some spectacular views! Julie’s home exudes class and beauty and she also loves teals and blues, which I’m loving on all over again in our new home. Coastal touches are everywhere and it reminds me of Nantucket or Cape Cod, even though I’ve never been to either. I just love a coastal feeling house!
A beautiful exterior greets guests.
This entry way is so beautiful and open and see those blues! They are all through the house.
Gorgeous touches everywhere you look.
And a definite nod to the coastal area she lives, with a whale statue.
Hello pretty powder bath! I just love a little drama in a bathroom.
A beautiful blue and white family room just says come on in and sit awhile.
White sofas and blue accents are a definite coastal feel.
Of course, I love this artwork and her blue and white jar.
The den has some gorgeous built ins and all that white cabinetry is gorgeous.
I see Plantation shutters and some classic pieces here. Love that herringbone rug.
Julie’s dining room with those gorgeous Chippendale bamboo chairs, so classic.
I love her kitchen! Beautiful design elements.
Wet bar
Master bedroom, in cream and blues. I love those side chests.
And what a gorgeous bathroom, so pretty in aqua shades.
Absolutely classic style, Julie!
Laundry room with more blue and white.
And this bunk room is SO adorable!
A guest room rounds out the tour.
Not to mention the outdoor views and spaces.
I’ve been to the Seattle area and know the beauty that is there, so I’m sure the views are stunning from this deck.
Julie and her husband have indeed created a gorgeous dream home. Looks pretty perfect to me! Julie doesn’t have a blog…yet! She said she has one but it’s unpublished and I really think she needs to start one, don’t you?
Gorgeous home! Thanks for sharing. And yes, she should have a blog!
Beautiful!! I love it all. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous home Rhoda!
Rhoda, I can see why you love this home! Julie’s home is gorgeous, and decorated beautifully in the coastal blues and whites that I also love. Her home looks like such a peaceful retreat from the busy-ness of life! Thanks for sharing it with us. And, yes, Julie should blog…I’d love to read about life on her island!
Julie’s home is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous home. I love all the contrast from blue and bright white. Classic beauty. Will follow her on instagram for sure!
Gorgeous! Would you please ask if she recalls her Front Door paint color? I adore it!
Hi Sharon,
The front door color is Benjamin Moore Hale Navy! It’s a really great color!
Julie
Yes! She must start a blog! What a gorgeous home with all that beautiful blue and white.
Shelley
Gorgous! Thanks for sharing!
Rhoda, can you recommend some websites to visit for wallpaper purchases? Seems there are no stores locally that carry a selection.
Thank you,
Patti
HI, Patti, I am not sure where ot send you. I know our local Sherwin Williams paint stores has oodles of wallpaper books so if you have one close, stop in there and see what you find. I like looking at books to decide, but I’m seeing lots of great wallpaper out there now.
Timely question. I am also looking for wallpaper. I what white grass cloth and had no idea it would be so hard to find. Looked at local SW store, but have to go to the bigger store in Baton Rouge. If anyone has white grass cloth recommendations I would appreciate it. Love this beautiful house in WA.
I have to say that master bath is high on my list of favorites. Such a soothing color palette and great design choices. My kind of home – sophisticated and understated and livable. Thanks for photos. The outdoor spaces aren’t bad either! LOL
Becky, I so agree, Julie’s home is just gorgeous and I love that bathroom too. I wish mine looked like that!
I also began my journey by following your blog. Your houses and style are always beautiful. But I think it is your grace throughout the past few years that I have admired most. You are an inspiration to me.
This is a beautiful home and I have followed her on Instagram as well now. Thank you for all of the hours of enjoyment you give on an internet filled with negativity. I can always count on you to make the world seem a little brighter.
Hi, Darla, what a wonderful thing to hear this Friday! Thank you so much, it has been such a journey and I’m so grateful to be where I am now. I’m happy to try to make the internet a brighter place!
What a beautiful home! I also live on Fidalgo Island and I love it here.
Hi, Cathy, what a small world, you must be neighbors! Sounds like such a neat place.
So how do you say PERFECT!
Beautiful home! Do you know the paint color for the master suite. That aqua blue is stunning! Thanks for sharing.
HI, Jae, hopefully Julie will stop by with the answer.
Hi Jae – Thank you for the compliment! The master bed and bath comirnis Sherwin Williams Watery! I was a bit scared it was too bold but we love it! Happy weekend! ~ Julie
WOW! I am so in love with the ocean blues and greens. So beautiful!!!
This looks like Port Ludlow……a community in the middle of nowhere. I lived there twelve miserable years, watching people move out very fast, or die for lack of assistance. Beauty to the eye is not necessarily beauty for life…….hard reality.
Hi, Jay, that sounds like a downer of a comment. I don’t think Julie feels that way about her island or where she lives.
Gorgeous home! And that swoon-worthy kitchen is just amazing. Love all the beautiful shades of blue she uses throughout. Great choice for a feature!!
Thanks for sharing this lovely home. I love the nautical touches that are just right and not overdone!
Everything is just beautiful and all the little details are just on pointe….each room has it’s own personality, yet they all get along with each other! I would follow Julie’s blog for sure!
Beautiful home – she lives in my neck of the woods! Thank you for sharing.
I have been working on her for THREE years to blog!I think this will DO IT😆👍
Thank You for Featuring Her!
