Bohemian Meets Beachy in California By: Grace Bonney

This time of year when the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, I daydream about packing up our family and running away to California. Sunshine, salt water and fresh air seem like the magic ingredients for a happy life and floral designer Julie Martin has them all at her home, along with her wonderful husband, J.T. and their dog, Roscoe. A year ago Julie and J.T. discovered this home in Capitola, California and quickly renovated and decorated until it felt like their own. Julie’s eclectic bohemian style married perfectly with J.T.’s love of all things beachy, creating a space that both hosts friends and family and houses Julie’s business. The couple now has a place where they can relax and work, as well as welcome their neighbors and loved ones for great parties and get-togethers. On a cold Brooklyn day like today, it’s a real treat to take a virtual tour through a space so filled with sun and happiness. Thanks to Julie, J.T. and Roscoe for sharing their home with us. xo, grace

Images above: The top image is the door to Julie and J.T.’s home. J.T. found the buoys washed up on the beach during a run. The second picture highlights the family’s colorful fireplace. Julie didn’t love all the white in the home, so she immediately painted the fireplace a bright turquoise. The third picture above is one of Julie’s stunning floral creations.
