Katelyn James

Goodness gracious, I cannot begin to tell you how much I love the office and studio of Katelyn James, an uber-talented (and uber-teal-loving!) wedding photographer based in Richmond, VA. The perfect shade of aqua on the walls (Sherwin Williams Waterscape), fabulous furniture, beautiful accessories...you can really start to understand how Katelyn stays so creative and inspired working from here! I actually have the same white desk (I stalked Craigslist for year to snag a deal) and iMac in my own ... View Post

Cottage Modern Nursery

My oh my, is this nursery adorable or what?! Interior designer (and fellow Minneapolis dweller) Kristen of Cottage Modern wanted a bright, fresh space for her brand new baby Tate. She chose the aqua and orange color palette to go along with all the crisp white, with whimsical touches everywhere you look! I love the cute map letters she made, the ottoman pouf from etsy shop aletafae and all of the cute nautical touches (we need more of that in Minnesota!) Last but definitely not least, I am just ...

Viscusi Elson Interior Design + Rutt of Los Altos

Be still my heart! Interior designer Gina Viscusi Elson worked with designer Melissa Nierman of the handcrafted cabinetry company Rutt of Los Altos to design this super-cute cottage kitchen. It's such an inspirational space, as most of the kitchens I see in real life are usually around this size. (Though never this stylish!) I love the white cabinets and clean subway tile next to the pretty aqua paint color (Benjamin Moore Kensington Green #710). The colorful Company C rug brings in a ... View Post

Jennifer Davis Interior Design

This gorgeous master bedroom designed by Los Angeles-based Jennifer Davis is just so beautiful, so comfortable, I can't imagine ever wanting to leave! The room is swimming in serene colors, luxurious fabrics and pretty patterns, in addition to fabulous architectural details. I love how she upholstered the wall behind the bed with Lee Jofa's Chinese Bridges, and used it on pillows throughout the space. The two cozy chaises ready for a good book or movie?? I am so loving them too! For lots more ... View Post

Villa Amarilla

Ready for an island escape? Welcome to Villa Amarilla, an incredible vacation home on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. I can't even fathom what it would be like to call this home! Hello, seriously, that view?! Not to mention 9,000 sq feet of luxury and comfort! The vista boasts five bedrooms, including "The Turquoise Suite" pictured above. The outdoor spaces are my favorite though...so many options for lounging, dining, swimming and soaking! Sound good?? Villa Amarilla is available for your ... View Post

Viscusi Elson Interior Design

I love the design philosophy of Viscusi Elson Interior Design: “Design that celebrates life.” The Los Altos, California firm gets to know how their clients truly function in their home (the reality) in addition to how they'd like to live in it (the fantasy), to combine both for truly amazing results. This cheery Cape Cod-inspired home is a beautiful medley of great style and function, perfect for a busy family–and a slew of friends! I know many of you are wondering....the pretty, pretty paint ...

DiAnn Sherk

Preserving the authenticity of the fifties was the most important part of the renovation of this Boulder, Colorado home built in 1950. The owners–a retired architect and an artist, were inspired by the home’s good bones and classic design. They worked with architect DiAnn Sherk of Boulder Associates to open up the home and bring it up to code. I love what the owner said about the interior: "This home gave us an opportunity to reach back to happy times and the classic design and furnishings we’ve ... View Post

Porchlight Interiors

The recent holiday edition of Australia's Adore Magazine had me drooling all over the place, it was overflowing with scrumptious color and great design!! I really loved the feature on a vibrant Queensland coastal home designed by the talented designers Hayley Hayes and Tracey Leeson of Porchlight Interiors. I added a few more photos here that I love from their portfolio too, so you can see just how fabulous this duo is! Such great use of color and pattern...I love all the fabrics they chose! For ...
