Find Your Style

Find Your Style Nearly everything in Laura Jayson's Rowayton, CT, home is either a shade of blue ("What's cooler than turquoise and aqua?") , neutral ("Plenty of natural and white substances help a space feel laid-back"), or older ("My home is a set of things I've picked up at flea markets").



Soothing Neutrals In the 2 decades since the light-filled three-bedroom house was built, Laura was on the search for carefully chosen picks that get a spot in her house or find their way to Rowayton Flea, the local classic shop she co-owns with her friend Laura Grabe. "I have a lot of fun pieces tucked around every area," she says. "The overall look is relaxed, and that's how I want people to feel when they walk inside my home."



Living Room The airy living room is all white and weathered wood. Laura chose stucco for the walls and added rough-hewn wood beams (salvaged from old barns) to the ceiling. The seating area includes a secondhand pine coffee table, an overstuffed sofa, and a settee Laura "borrowed" from her parents.



Calm A white slipcovered sofa from Lillian August is a superb backdrop for patterned pillows.



Cool This 1960s double rocker from eBay is reupholstered at a Kelly Wearstler cloth.



Collected A sail from a boat in the America's Cup race makes great wall art. It is out of a Boston flea market.



Cool Living Room Accents The paint onto the vintage medical cabinet in the living area was deciphered, but Laura left it as is. These clear and turquoise classic wine jugs have the delicate look of sea glass.



Kitchen Thanks to stone walls and a wood ceiling, a visit to the kitchen feels like a trip back in time. Because she likes to keep her dishes (mostly in shades of blue, of course) easily accessible, Laura chose open teak sack. The natural-stone-top island has an apron-front sink with the type of faucet you'd see in a commercial kitchen (for a similar look, try overstock.com).



Cool The bistro stools were imported from France.



Collected Laura paid $100 for this particular pair of pendants at the Brimfield Antique Show at Massachusetts.



Dining Room Although Laura admits the table serves more as a landing place for jumble in relation to a place to eat dinner, she loves its rocky texture. It came out of a Connecticut antiques shop and therefore did the chairs, which were initially cream. They had some freshening up, so Laura painted them glistening white (try Polar Bear by Behr).



Calm You are able to see every knot in the Brazilian hardwood dining table.



Cool The area's pop of blue is a beachscape, painted by Laura's sister.



Collected The shelves on this classic mirror are stocked with bottles and oyster plates.



Master Bedroom The woven seagrass bed from Ralph Lauren Home is one of those few furniture pieces that is not classic. "I really like its own beachy vibe," says Laura. The white sheets are out of Sferra, and the five-foot-long bolster pillow is covered in flea market cloth. Wall color: Moonshine by Benjamin Moore



Calm Collected The bamboo flooring are coated in white epoxy paint meant for garage and concrete flooring. A classic wood ladder found at a flea market serves as storage for blankets. Laura says, "sometimes I think, Ugh, I am so dull--I should throw in another color. But a neutral bedroom is so calm."



Cool Wave photographs Laura picked up in Long Island, NY, provide the space a subtle dash of blue and gray.



Master Bathroom The room's pale raw and tiles teak create a feeling that feels very zen. "It's so relaxing, sometimes I simply hang out here," Laura says. She picked shiny chrome fittings, such as marine-style sconces out of a local home store and cross-handle taps that jut out from the wall.



Cool The backsplash's glass tiles have a light blue tint.



Guest Bathroom Who wants one mirror when you can have 18? Laura painted most of these with white semigloss spray paint, then mounted them all on painted wood planks that were formerly floorboards. The sink is Carrara marble--a small luxury in an otherwise simple space.



Collected None of those thrift store and flea market mirrors cost over $15. The aluminum fixture came from an antiques store that sells classic boat lighting.



Mudroom Laura found this bench at an antiques shop--it is really an old church pew. Laura made the coatrack out of a strip of wood and vintage hooks, then perched an oar on top.



Spare Bedroom A funky tree stump nightstand is a fun contrast against the white walls. Antique headboards were painted Platinum Gray by Benjamin Moore and reupholstered.



Calm Nearby, Laura painted a dresser in a chalky color to bring out its specifics. Laura's mother updated an old mirror by gluing oyster shells on the frame.
