My best friend from school has the most amazing house on the entire East coast! Her mom, an interior and jewelry designer, is to blame. When I visited Branford, CT last October, my jaw dropped (because I thought I had stepped into a magazine). Her newly renovated house sits right on the water, which is perfect for the summer. The interior color scheme is mostly whites and blues with grasscloth wallpaper (which I’ve always been obsessed with) and light wood tones.

| Designer and homeowner Sandy Goodkind chose a restful palette that lets the open floor plan flow and keeps the emphasis on the plentiful outdoor views. |
 |
| The living room’s design started with the blue-and-white toile fabric on the Ralph Lauren chairs. |
 |
| Stone steps lead to the front door, which opens to the home’s second level. |
 |
| Texture—in the grass cloth wallpaper, linen dining chairs and oxidized zinc table top—plays a big role in the design. |
 |
| The covered porch on the first level is a second family room in the warm months. |
 |
| The porch’s stone pillars anchor the home to the site. |
 |
| A freestanding tub is the focal point of the third-floor master suite’s bath. |
 |
| The master bedroom’s pewter-colored walls are hand-painted to look like damask. |
