Siemasko + Verbridge

What I'd give for a pool house exactly like this one!! Actually I wouldn't mind if this were my entire house, it's that cool! Designed by Siemasko + Verbridge out of Beverly, Massachusetts and photographed by Eric Roth, the fun space was built for a family of eight to hang out poolside. Don't you love that loft space?! THE perfect place for a sleepover! The oceanfront home in Marblehead, MA boasts a pretty incredible view too!! I don't know about you, but I'm so ready for the weekend ... View Post

Mick De Giulio

Normally I'm into all-white kitchen, but this one designed by internationally renowned kitchen designer Mick De Giulio of de Giulio kitchen design out of Chicago has me seriously rethinking that! Photographed by Dave Burk of Hedrich Blessing Photographers, this French country kitchen from a home in Monte Sereno, California strikes the perfect balance between rustic and elegant. I love all the natural elements here, the open shelving and nooks, and the big island, not to mention the windows and ... View Post

Historical Concepts – Day Two

A slice of heaven, right there in Palmetto Bluff!! Today we're finishing our tour of this incredible South Carolina home designed by Historical Concepts, an architecture firm specializing in traditional and vernacular design. I can't decide what I'd prefer... the breezy porch with the swinging bed and fireplace, or the attic bunkroom with the cozy curtained bed niche! All just so darn delightful! If missed out on yesterday's post, check it out here because there are more photos by Richard Leo ... View Post

Historical Concepts – Day One

There's just something about a charming southern home that gets me every time and this fabulous one designed by the traditional architecture firm Historical Concepts absolutely took my breath away! Located near Bluffton, South Carolina, the cottage at Palmetto Bluff was decorated by Ruthie Edwards out of Hilton Head, SC, who layered soft neutrals and sea-inspired blue tones to create a fresh and soothing atmosphere. Doesn't it all feel so inviting and comfortable?? I LOVE that front porch ... View Post

Abbe Fenimore + Shop Ten 25 Giveaway!

Since 2007, Dallas interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25 has been delighting homeowners (and lots of bloggers!) with her eclectic and vibrant style! I for one have been a fan for a long time, as Abbe was responsible for one of my all-time favorite bedrooms (see it here)!

The yummy colors, fun patterns, and fab furniture (especially that tufted ... View Post

Kendall Wilkinson + Sutro Architects

You may or may not know that I'm a big time fan of San Francisco interior designer Kendall Wilkinson, so I was really excited to discover more images of this fabulous Pacific Hillside home she designed along with Sutro Architects. The floor plan of the classic San Francisco home was updated by emphasizing the incredible bay view and enlarging the kitchen into an open plan filled with serene colors. That view is the real show stopper there...pretty sure I wouldn't eat a thing sitting in that cute ... View Post

Tobi Fairley Interior Design

Not only were the owners of this colorful Monticello, Arkansas home fortunate enough to inherit a beautiful home filled with wonderful old furniture, but also to work with designer Tobi Fairley in modernizing the traditional space! They had a lot of the antiques refinished or reupholstered, and added new pieces to update the space and make it functional for the active, young family. I love all the bright fabrics, fun patterns and colorful rugs with both! Aren't both those girls' rooms ... View Post

Mabley Handler Interior Design

From the very first moment I laid my eyes on this glorious room, I was done for. Dead and gone to turquoise heaven, I tell you! Designed by the Hamptons design duo Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler of Mabley Handler for this year's Hampton Designer Showhouse, this dining room is turning out to be the talk of the house! (I'm sure many of you saw the feature on Quintessence!) I'm just dying over all the shades of turquoise and blue here, so refreshing and fun! The room was inspired by the ... View Post
