If there was one place I was dying to see on our recent trip to the 30A area of Florida, it was WaterColor. (How could I resist a community named WaterColor?!) You know how in some neighborhoods you have a favorite house, that one dream home you love to drive by? Yeah…that was like every single home in WaterColor. Seriously amazing homes! And all with tons of Southern/Lowcountry character with their big, inviting front porches! It wasn’t just the houses either, there were a lot of really pretty green areas too (almost half of WaterColor’s 499 acres is set aside for open space and preservation). And as you can see, the houses all seem to be perfectly nestled into the native landscape! SO beautiful!
If you want to see the inside of some WaterColor homes, check out my favorites here, here, here and here! And in case you missed it, check out my post about Seaside, the community next door to WaterColor and where we stayed during our vacation. Stay tuned for pics of our place too!
Before I sign off, thought I’d give you guys a little update on Wesley! The happy little man turned 5 months old this week…I can hardly believe how big he’s getting–17 pounds already!
Those eyes melt my heart!!!
Happy weekend everyone! Try and stay warm out there!

Now these homes speak to me! I'm a beach girl and I would happily live in any of these beauties. What a great community!

OMG, I have been so tardy in reading the blogs I subscribe to. I didn't realize you had given birth. He's such a little cutie pie!!!!
Also, I love the neighborhood you shared. I love the architecture of the homes in that area of the country. The new homes in Texas are, for the most part, large brick structures that I think are just as ugly as can be.

Such beautiful houses and the name of the place fits it perfectly 🙂
Thank you for sharing and congrats on your lil'one.

This are beautiful unique houses– you don't get to see them in the city. Classy interiors!

Those homes look familiar. We might have designed one or two! Thanks for sharing, Erin.

Those are "watercolor" eyes if I ever saw any!! He must be so nice to "snuggle" with on these frigid days! franki

These beautiful houses, all painted with my favorite color, are a great antidote to the chilly winter weather we're having right now!

I'm heading to WaterColor next week with my 3 sisters. Can't wait to see the area and the House of Turquoise.

OH MY…Wesley IS DARLING, and your right those eyes are yummy! He is SO cute, thank you so much for the pics, I love that! Keep em coming!!!!!
AND those house are amazing for sure. I would want to just keep driving and driving around to look at them. I'm imagining it was hard to not knock on the door and beg to see the inside's:)

Drooling here at all the lovely houses. I so want to see the insides. It must have been a fun trip seeing all those lovely houses.
Pinned my favorites. You do provide such gorgeous material for pinning inspiration.
Wesley is a cutie, thanks so much for the pics.
