High Point Market

I couldn't be happier that it's finally Friday! After not feeling well most of the week, I finally have my energy back and am feeling good. Our house is now officially on the market and with most of the projects completed, it's never looked as nice! And to top things off, this weekend I am headed to High Point Market in North Carolina. I'm not a designer (just a big fan of this sort of thing), so I was super excited when I received an invitation to attend this fall. I can't wait to see all the ... View Post

Coastal Living’s Ultimate Beach House – Part 2

Even if we ignored the fantastic view of ocean, this tranquil bedroom definitely holds dream status for sure. Today we're visiting the master bedroom Coastal Living's Ultimate Beach House designed by Phoebe Howard and photographed by Tria Giovan. The thing I love most is how the entire space is saturated with the same soothing, watery hue. The Phillip Jeffries grasscloth on the walls is the perfect backdrop for the antique nautical maps, and that beautiful coral mirror. And I LOVE the cozy ... View Post

Coastal Living’s Ultimate Beach House – Part 1

I've been devouring Tria Giovan's heavenly photos of Coastal Living's Ultimate Beach House designed by Phoebe Howard over breakfast for the last few weeks and each morning I discover fantastic new details! It was insta-love with the blue subway tile in the kitchen, but I think it's great how they chose fumed oak cabinets for the bottom and white painted cabinets for the top. The living room and dining are straight up coastal cool with the crisp navy and white stripes against the calm backdrop of ... View Post

Allison Egan Interiors

Wouldn't you love the chance to redecorate your old childhood bedroom? I know I would! Designer Allison Egan recently had that very opportunity in Seattle. It's hard to imagine, but the serene space was previously decked out in pink and yellow...very 80's! I love the soothing neutral scheme now updated with the dash of blue. The pillows she chose are all so great, and affordable too! The back silk pillows are from Target, and the front pair decked out in Lovely Lattice by Waverly in Aqua are ... View Post

Vacation Recap! (Long One!)

I know that was a ton of photos, in one VERY large image...my apologies if it forever to load! If there's one thing I'm good at, it's taking photos on vacation. "Hold on, I need to take a picture!" (right, Chris?) I hope the collage gave you a sampling of our short vacation out to the coast of Massachusetts! I'll try to recap to the best of my memory, so if any of you ever have the absolute pleasure of getting out that way you'll know what not to miss! Thursday: Flight delays and lost ... View Post

Lesli DeVito

Lesli DeVito of the blog My Old Country House and I are totally on the same wavelength. We are all about the turquoise and pink. Turquoise or pink in the form of a fab chevron print?? We'll take it! Recently Lesli reupholstered her old sofa in the the prettiest aqua zig zag fabric (for less than $7.50 a yard!) I LOOOOVE the results...it totally makes the space! I was sure that was enough joy for one room, but then Lesli scored (among other things) that yummy pink Missoni pouf ottoman from ... View Post

Suzanne Kasler & Lynn Monday

I don't feel like we see this look enough! More mountain homes need to incorporate pretty turquoise hues, don't you think? The soothing color palette in the living room designed by Suzanne Kasler for the 2010 Cashiers Designer Showhouse is the perfect juxtaposition to the more rustic space. I love the stacked-stone fireplace, ivory furniture and layered rugs! Lynn Monday designed the dreamy sitting room in the home. I love the colors she used in there...and how about that nailhead trim on the ... View Post
