Coastal Living Idea Cottage

My seaside-loving self can't get enough of this one!! An oldie but goodie, the Coastal Living Idea Cottage of 2008 located in picturesque Scarborough, Maine was designed by Tracey Rapisardi, one of my favorite beach-chic designers. I'm sure you've seen some of these photos taken by Jean Allsopp, but I was excited to find some new ones on Tracey's site. The playful elements (love all the stripes!), vintage touches, beachy hues and weathered coastal accents give the new home the character of a ... View Post

Design Transformations

"If you love it you should use it!" is the philosophy of Denver, Colorado interior designer Cheryl Scarlet of Design Transformations. (A philosophy I have to remind myself of, as we've barely used our wedding china!) I can't tell you how much I'm loving this home she designed, photographed by Kimberly Gavin. Every room is inviting, comfortable and accented with the perfect amount of fresh color and fun pattern! And that just may be the cutest laundry room ever...Schumacher's Birds and ... View Post

JAC Interiors

Although this fabulous room was designed for a 12-year-old girl, I would be so happy calling it my own! Jane Cowen Hamilton, Andrea Putman and Christine Thompson of JAC Interiors out of Los Angeles, California created the space photographed by Alexandra DeFurio with the perfect combination of style and sweetness. I wish I knew the exact color on the walls, but it was a custom mix. I can tell you the gorgeous paisley wallpaper is Nizam by Osborne and Little though...I LOVE it! Oh pink and ... View Post

Custom Pet Portait GIVEAWAY!

We're starting off the week right with a kitchen reno that is bright, cheerful and budget-friendly like no other! Lesli DeVito of the inspiring blog My Old Country House recently finished up a two-year facelift on her beautiful kitchen. (Remember her living room?? Equally as delightful!) We're talking new countertops, appliances, hardware, tile, cabinet doors and drawer fronts...and a lot of hard work on Lesli's part! I am loving all the pretty color here, especially Benjamin Moore's "Gossamer ... View Post

Birds of a Feather Design

I can always count on Hooper Patterson and Ann White Schutte of Birds of a Feather Design for a breathtaking transformation! The designing duo out of Wilmington, North Carolina took a drab, awkward kitchen and turned it into a coastal oasis of serene color and smart functionality! The new space was inspired by the fabulous modern sea glass backsplash tile. I love how they pulled the blue out and painted the island Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue! Trust me, you do not want to miss the 'before' photos ... View Post

Tiffany McWhorter

Coastal Living served up major eye candy in their latest issue with this darling Bald Head Island, North Carolina beach cottage belonging to Fred and Tiffany McWhorter, photographed here by Tria Giovan! Buying the home was a dream come true for the couple, who had to renovate (and use a lot of white paint!) to get things looking this dreamy! Fred is a home remodeler, and Tiffany a home decor shop owner, so you know they put a lot of love in this project! I love all of the blue/green accents and ... View Post

Lisa Barnes + Heidi Smith

You what I love?? COLOR! So you know I'm really loving this home belonging to Lisa Barnes, who along with her interior designer sister Heidi Smith out of Saratoga Springs, Utah, transformed her new, ho-hum abode into a cheerful space with tons of personality! Not only is it stylish, it's also totally budget-friendly! Lisa scored a ton of great furniture from thrift stores, classifieds and Craigslist, and revamped them with paint or new fabric. Trips to Ikea, Pier 1 and Target filled in the rest. ... View Post
