Borges Brooks Builders

Let the daydreaming commence! Located on Western Lake in none other than WaterColor, Florida, this amazing home was designed by architect Dawn Thurber and constructed by Borges Brooks Builders. The home, while luxurious, still manages to feel cozy and inviting with the use of warm tones and natural textures. Don't you just love the reclaimed oak floors and beams?? And that kitchen! The marble counters and backplash and the blue island and hood definitely give it dream kitchen status. The high ... View Post

Sciame Homes

“We have the opportunity to play a small part in protecting and advancing the character and charm of the island. It is a responsibility we appreciate.” I love this quote by Andrew Sciame–the president of Sciame Homes, a custom home builder in Palm Beach, Florida. They recently renovated this island home into a slice of heaven, inside and out! I mean that backyard is total paradise! And how about the front with that darling turquoise gate? Love!! The interior is just as beautiful. So bright and ... View Post

Whitten Architects

This stunning Kennebunkport, Maine beach house designed by Whitten Architects is all about the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean! The architects worked with Douston Construction, Emma Kelly Landscape and Albert Putnam Associates on the home, which not only embraces the view with expansive walls of glass, but harmonizes beautifully with the natural surroundings! I just love the way interior designer Nicki Bongiorno of Spaces Kennebunkport echoed the view with a serene palette of sandy ... View Post

Surf Puppy – Tybee Island, GA

An adorable Tybee cottage always puts me in a weekend mood! Located just three blocks away from the beach, Surf Puppy is a newly updated 1950’s beach bungalow on the eccentric island outside of Savannah, GA. I love how the homeowners brought the beach vibe inside with all of the bright, sunny accents! The beautiful flooring and crisp white walls are the perfect canvas for the colorful painted pieces and funky artwork. Everything is so delightful! I'm happy to report this cutie is a rental, and ...

Cindy Meador Interiors

This beachfront Perdido Key, Florida home by Cindy Meador Interiors is such a dream! The talented designer out of Gulf Shores, Alabama worked with Dalrymple Sallis Architecture and Old South Construction on the breezy beach house captured by Chris Luker. The serene sand and sea palette paired with Cindy's signature modern glitzy twist give the home an understated elegance that's perfect for its coastal setting. I'm so loving the turquoise-backed shelves in the living room...what a stunning way ... View Post

Martha Dayton Design

I always jump at the chance to share Minnesota talent, but I'm particularly excited about this cottage because it's not too far from where I live! Martha Dayton Design collaborated with Rehkamp Larson Architects and Streeter & Associates (who actually built our house in the 80's) on the beautiful home captured by Karen Melvin and Kory Kevin Studio. The fresh use of color is absolutely fantastic! The blues and reds woven throughout pop on the otherwise neutral palette, and paired with plenty ... View Post

Meridian Design Build

This Rhode Island home is brimming with charm! Built by Meridian Custom Homes in collaboration with Red House Design & Drafting, the light-filled home (photographed by Nat Rea and styled by Janelle Photopoulos) is not only beautiful, it perfectly reflects the lifestyle of the family that lives there. Among other things, having a home that is environmentally clean was on their must-have list. (Not surprising since the homeowner, Erin, also owns Mama Bird, an eco-friendly baby and lifestyle ...

D’Asign Source

It's hard to believe that this amazing Florida Keys property was once "a diamond in the rough"! The homeowners turned to the coastal home experts at D'Asign Source to completely transform the home–inside and out! The only surface left untouched in the major remodel? The beautiful tongue and groove ceiling. (They actually unearthed the stone fireplace!) The family wanted a neutral base of colors on the floors and walls, allowing the colors they love–soft blues, greens and shades of coral, to come ... View Post
