Weekend Bliss

From the bottom of my heart, thank each and every one of you for your comments about my grandma. Your thoughts and prayers have brought me a lot of comfort and that is very much appreciated. The last couple of days have been tough, but her memory will live on and will always bring me much joy. We had a nice time in Iowa, including a lovely afternoon spent at the farm. The weather couldn't have been any more perfect.Speaking of weather, I have the feeling there aren't going to be too many more ... View Post

Emily Gilbert

I love the warm yet refined vibe of this room captured by Emily Gilbert, a photographer out of New York City. (Remember these rooms?? Her talent too!) This space was actually part of the New Jersey designer showhouse Mansion in May and was designed by Christine Thompson. I love the ribbon detailing on the sofa, and how it's mirrored in the stripes on the painting above. All of the molding is absolutely breathtaking too!A bit of sad news to share today. Last week my grandma passed away, so I'm ... View Post

Lee Ann Thornton

Usually when I sift through portfolios of designers, I'm lucky to find one or two rooms with a little blue in them. This was not the case with Lee Ann Thornton of Thornton Designs out of Greenwich, Connecticut. We're talking page after page of the prettiest rooms filled with shades of my favorite color. I think what I'm enjoying most is her genius medley of beautiful fabrics and wallcoverings. The furniture and lighting selections are utterly fabulous too! Lee Ann also has a blog (don't you love ...

Mabley Handler Interior Design

Like so many of you, I love everything that Mabley Handler Interior Design touches. This beach-side Amagansett home featured in Hamptons Cottages & Gardens certainly is no exception. The clients wanted a sophisticated beach house, with a cool color palette reminiscent of the ocean and sandy beaches on a misty day. The serene pale oyster gray with a hint of blue is brought to life with texture and depth in such a beautiful way with all the accessories. (Oh my goodness, those chandeliers!) To ... View Post

Alexandra Rae

That's it, I'm moving in! I love every little inch of this home from the portfolio of LA-based interior designer Alexandra Rae, whose work was recently featured on The Green Door. Dark hardwood floors paired with white and aqua always leave me weak at the knees! Just don't get me started on all the slipcovers, stunning lighting, and the prettiest light-filled bathroom ever!! Where's my keys?! Alexandra actually has her own blog too, check out My Pink Sketchbook for lots more! ... View Post

Ashlee Raubach & Caitlin Wilson

More orange and turquoise goodness today compliments of the incredibly talented (and super sweet) photographer Ashlee Raubach. Over the course of the year she's become one of my absolute favorite photographers. (Just follow her blog, and see my posts here and here and you'll immediately see why!) I was so excited to her photos of this fresh and vibrant space by interior designer Caitlin Wilson. She really captures the beauty in the details, don't you think?? The mix of colors and patterns is ... View Post
