Ana Antunes’ Tiffany Table

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend! Now it's time to start wrapping our heads around the idea of 2012 and ringing in the new year! Let's all imagine for a moment we're in Portugal for New Year's Eve, at the breathtaking home of designer (and fellow turquoise lover) Ana Antunes. The dining room alone is enough to make your heart melt, but what girl wouldn't love the Tiffany theme? The cupcakes and little blue boxes are perfection! Oh the fun we would have! You can see lots more photos ... View Post

Merry & Bright

I am crazy about holiday decorations that capture the joy and happiness of the season! Is there a better way than with COLOR?! Thanks to photograher Rett Peek, today we are revisiting the beautiful home of Beverly Wells, who worked with her daughter (and our favorite) Tobi Fairley to put a cheerful spin on holiday decor. The garland on the mantel is dazzling, I love all the different ornaments and sea of color! Same goes for the tabletop tree...so adorable! Visit Tobi's blog to read more about ... View Post

Benjie Jones

Every single room in this enchanting Atlanta home belonging to designer Benjie Jones gets a holiday touch! We're talking live trees in the kitchen and dining room, wreaths and a big wooden Santa in the master bedroom and bathroom, and leftover sprigs of evergreen tucked behind paintings everywhere. Keeping things artistic but measured, and fun without being too serious is actually the designer's everyday decorating approach. I'd love to see how his home looks the rest of the year, wouldn't you?? ... View Post

Sita Montgomery

Can't you just tell that Sita Montgomery of The Family Room Design Studio had a ball decorating her Utah home?? The kitchen underwent a huge transformation over the summer. To give the space a fresh and bright feeling, she had the cabinets painted a soft, creamy off-white. I loooove how it turned out! The delightful family room has the same happy vibe of the kitchen...I am loving bursts of fresh color! Sita has lots more great photos of her home taken by Paige Davis over at her blog, so head on ... View Post

Tobi Fairley Giveaway!!

I'm back from our mini-vacation from NYC! What a crazy time, there were sooo many people out there this weekend. But the holiday spirit was in high gear and I loved every minute! We're now back in the swing of things here though. (Trying our best anyway, it's always hard this close to Christmas, isn't it?) I'm super excited to be starting off the week with a giveaway courtesy of one of my favorite designers: Tobi Fairley! Tobi recently launched her own collection featuring fabulous, colorful ...

Krista Salmon

Sometimes I wish I was little again, if only to have a insanely fun room like this one! Designed by Krista Salmon of Kiki's List for her lucky little girl Lou, the new big girl room displays attention to detail like no other! Virginia artist Corinne Marlowe painted those fab stripes on the ceiling, which match Krista's great paint job on the bed. I love the adorable P. Kaufman "Camelot" fabric on the windows, Benjamin Moore's Bird's Egg on the walls...and no doubt about it, that gorgeous ... View Post

Lynn Morgan Design

This delightful Southport, CT home designed by Lynn Morgan and photographed by Laura Moss is like a breath of fresh spring air. (Should I really be anticipating spring already??) I love that it's a little bit coastal, filled with pretty color and great pattern. That breakfast area is my favorite...love those big windows, the French bistro chairs, the cozy banquette filled with colorful cushions and that fab lantern! The perfect start to a great day, I say! You really don't want to miss out on ... View Post
