Contemporary Beach Home - Jodi Fleming Design

I am usually attracted to traditional style homes, however when contemporary blends with traditional and a touch of rustic is added, I am smitten!

The exterior architecture of this Californian home has clean, contemporary lines, inside however, designer Jodi Fleming has a fresh take on contemporary beach style. Combining traditional furniture with contemporary pieces, and adding touches of rustic wood, Jodi has created a relaxed feel that must surely make the owners of this beach home, feel they are permanently on holiday.
