You know how they always say you never forget your first love? That’s exactly how I feel about New York City-based designer Ashley Whittaker. The first time I saw her work almost ten years ago, I was blown away. (That home is still one of my all-time favorites!) I absolutely adore her fresh and modern perspective on traditional design and incredible eye for mixing color and pattern. I mean, how incredible is this bright and colorful Florida home she designed? Photographed by Eric Piasecki and styled by Heather Chadduck Hillegas for Southern Living, the town house is filled with a punchy tropical palette and vibrant patterns throughout. Loving the wall color here…Farrow & Ball’s Pale Powder No. 204.
The pops of pink from the footstool, contrasting pillow welt, and slipper-chair trim are the perfect finishing touch!
Gorgeous drapery and pillow fabric (China Seas “Bijou Stripe”).
Obsessed with this luxurious Palm Beach-inspired Matouk bedding!

omgosh! I remember that first Ashley Whittaker home – I LOVED the non-invasive red tones she used to complement those aqua tones. And her use of greens with just a little touch of a red tone never fail to delight!
Both homes are gorgeous!
I took a scree shot of that living room when it appeared in Southern Living and Pinned it. It’s the most re-pinned Pin I have.
This is one of my favorites! I have loved this room for so long., it’s so nice to know who designed it!
Oh i love this style! It is so tactile and comforting. A little bit Beachy, a little casual a little classy and the use of bamboo and blue and white here and there. Shes awesome! Always love coming to House of Turquoise for my fix on beautiful homes!
Absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about this home. Thank you
