Coastal Chic

ALCHIC Never Looked So Good

When the owners of this beachfront residence on idyllic Rosemary Avenue purchased the home over a decade ago, their young children took priority over home decor. Last year, with the kids off at college, the Jackson, Mississippi, couple began to spend more time here and decided they were in need of an upgrade. They called interior designer Betsey Mosby to give the place a chic and modern yet timeless face-lift. Now they’re over the moon about this classic beauty with nothing but the Western Green between it and the shimmering Gulf of Mexico.

Elegance and comfort mix in this vacation home, where days at the beach are followed by relaxing on chaise lounges, deep swivel chairs, velvet sofas, and soft beds.

Mosby had the flooring refinished throughout the home, which was a deep honey color and is now a whitewashed gray that mirrors the neutral coastal vibe the homeowners love. Pieces by artists including Lynn Sanders, Alexis Walter, and Sarah Otts bring in pops of color.

Ivories, blues, and greens in the decor, art, and fabrics mirror the Gulf of Mexico and the sandy beach just steps from the home. The couple’s grown children have rooms on the first floor with their own personalities— bright teal and fun abstract art for their daughter and a more masculine feel with natural washed wood and a gray-blue bed for their son’s room across the hall.
