Chic and Cozy Cottage
by habituallychic
02 . 19 . 11It’s a long holiday weekend and that means many people will be getting away. Designer Stephen Shubel‘s chic fisherman’s cottage in Sausalito looks like a chic yet cozy place spend some time off. He describes it as being “like Marie Antoinette in a t-shirt…the past recreated for today.” He mixes French furniture with nautical touches that refer back to the cottage’s seaside location. Definitely makes me wish I was getting away again this weekend!

Always loved that fishing shack!
Although, a bit too pretty to be shabby……..looks like a good place to retreat.

My very talented friend Jody Thompson-Kennedy produced this for House Beautiful in 1998- still feels fresh and new. Living near Sausalito, I always wanted to see the interior of the cottage firsthand!
That does look ridiculoulsy cozy but beautiful at the same time. LOVE that bedroom..OMG I could easily escape there the entire weekend with a good book, some snacks and cozy pjs! Love the example, Marie Antoinette in a t-shirt..well put. LOVE IT!
What’s not to love about this cottage..the painted floor boards, striped upholstery and cushions and just a dash of black and gold in every room. Perfection…Lovely post, Heather!!
I love the ship lap that he has used throughout … its become an obsession of mind lately. I also love the all white books …
Love this cottage! It looks so relaxed, yet well designed. Just found your blog and love it – new follower 🙂 Have a great weekend!

Oh Heather! That cottage is beyond divine!
Not many places could I move in with my toothbrush and not change a thing!
This is a “keeper”!
Thank you!
Gorgeous! I wouldn’t have thought to pair ornate french designs with casual beach cottage but it so works. I love it!
I love this happy house. I wonder if the dog was color coded to match the shots of gold, he even has a bit of black. Mary
Love it! Love it! Love it!
I could see my family feeling right at home here. The design is amazing!
This cottage and Sausalito too!!! WOW! Love the combo of the gilt floor mirror amidst the cottage coziness. Thanks for sharing.
