Flea Market Trixie

Here in Minnesota, we love our screened porches (insert joke about the mosquito being our state bird) and you'd be hard-pressed to find a cuter one than Flea Market Trixie's! So inviting and fun, it's the perfect place to relax the afternoon away! What I admire most about her space is the fact that she decorated it entirely with garage sale and flea market finds–all for under $100! Don't you love the stripes on the floor? She actually painted a floor cloth using the backside of vinyl flooring! ... View Post

Coach Barn Giveaway + CR Laine Furniture

Just one look at this colorful room instantly put me in a good mood! The lovely space, photographed by Diana Parrish, is filled with beautiful pieces from the spring 2012 collection of the color-loving furniture company CR Laine. (And let me tell you, I've been to their award-winning showroom at the High Point Market, it's a total wonderland!) So many great unexpected elements and colors here, but the look is fresh and harmonious! The Currey & Co orb chandelier made of turquoise marble beads ... View Post

Susan Gilmore

This adorable cottage couldn't be any cuter if it tried! Captured so perfectly by Susan Gilmore, a Minneapolis-based photographer, the cheery home is light, bright and overflowing with beautiful blues! I love the collected feel to the space, like you could walk around discovering something neat in every direction. That sunny office area would certainly inspire me too! Check out lots more beautiful interiors over at Susan's website right here! (Wait for the last rotating image on the homepage, ... View Post

Interior Philosophy

Just when I think I couldn't be any more enamored with WaterColor, Florida (thanks to this beautiful home from last week), I go and discover more photos of one of my favorite homes ever...located in WaterColor of course! The beach house was designed by Mandy Mayers and Jessica Roan, owners of the Atlanta home furnishings shop Interior Philosophy. The perfect sea-inspired palette of sandy neutrals and ocean blues make for such a serene environment. I cannot get over the fun children's bedroom ... View Post

Jerusalem Greer + The Adventures of Jolly Goode Gal

I'm feeling a little nostalgic today! No matter how many years it has been since I wrapped up college, there's still nothing like not having to go back to school the day after Labor Day! This delightful dining room belonging to Jerusalem Greer of the blog The Adventures of Jolly Goode Gal shares the sentiment I'm feeling today...happiness! It actually reminded me of my first days of school when I was little. A dinner filled with favorite foods and special dinnerware, and a sense of ... View Post

Geoff Chick & Associates

If there is one place I'd want to live based on name alone, it's WaterColor, Florida. And to know there are homes like this there?! Heaven! The incredible home was designed by Geoff Chick & Associates (the same architect who was responsible for that amazing home I shared on Monday). The kitchen is fabulous...love the cabinetry, shimmery tile, and blue island! Did you notice that niche in the stairway?? The homeowner is using it to display their wonderful collection of beach sand from all ... View Post

Geoff Chick & Associates

There are some homes that I feel I couldn't even come up with in my dreams, they're that perfect for me. This is one of them. Designed by Santa Rosa Beach, Florida architect Geoff Chick, this WaterSound Beaches home photographed by Jack Gardner is filled with everything I love. Beautiful wood floors, white walls, and pops of color in all the right places! It's the all extra touches though that left me breathless...the turquoise shingles, blue subway tile to the ceiling, windows galore, and ... View Post

EA Interior Designs – Virgina Beach

Imagine: You and 31 of your closest friends and family, staying together in this amazing (and huge!) oceanfront beach house in Virgina Beach! The 12 bedroom, 13 1/2 bathroom home was designed by Emily Sheipe of EA Interior Designs out of Chesapeake, Virginia. She chose a lovely shade of turquoise (Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue...anyone guess that right??) to bring the sea inside, and filled the home with comfortable and durable furnishings perfectly suited for big family gatherings. I can't ... View Post
