Mally Skok Design

This suburban Boston home designed by Mally Skok, a South African interior designer and fabric designer based in Boston, is traditional yet fresh, and filled with upbeat color! I love how the designer used turquoise as a “road map, linking the spaces in the house together.” The jaw-dropping pantry in the first photo (painted Farrow & Ball Sugar Bag Blue in high gloss) seriously took my breath away! See more photos by Michael J. Lee and read the article all about the home over at New England ... View Post

Carde Reimerdes

There's no better day to rest, recoup and relax than New Year's Day, and this space designed by Carde Reimerdes and photographed by Paulina Arcklin would be the perfect place to do just that!

A House Full of Sunshine

Having lived in Minnesota all my life, it's hard to imagine being somewhere warm for the holidays! Well Karen of the blog A House Full of Sunshine lives in Australia where Christmas falls during the summer. Sounds good to me! To top it off, she just moved into a beach house! She went with a white, blue and silver color palette for her decorations to help create a relaxed summertime-Christmas feel...casual and beachy, just like her home! Love the Christmas prints from the Etsy shop Salt & ... View Post
