If anyone can make every day feel like a vacation, it's Echelon Interiors! They recently designed this amazing Dewey Beach, Delaware home awash in a light and airy palette inspired by sand and sea. Built by Echelon Custom Homes, the home is the epitome of a beach house–we're talking tons of room for guests (the bunk rooms are incredible!), fabulous entertaining areas inside and out, and chic coastal-inspired accents throughout. But we have to talk about the kitchen. Oh my my, what a dream ... View Post

Elena Phillips Interiors

With its classic blue and white coastal palette, this historic Watch Hill, Rhode Island beach cottage designed by Elena Philips is as rejuvenating as a day as the beach! Not only does the home (captured beautifully by photographer Jane Beiles) feel crisp and clean, plenty of natural elements with lots of great texture keep it feeling warm and cozy too. And with two young children running around (and two golden retrievers!), the designer made sure to keep the home practical and livable...sandy ... View Post

When it came time for a long-planned dream to become a reality, interior designer Lisa Zompa of Kitchen Views made it happen! She worked closely with the homeowners of this Narragansett, Rhode Island beach house (photographed by Nat Rea) to accommodate their needs and wishes, including a desire for a soft, beach vibe. The driftwood-inspired stain on the island, turquoise pendants, and shimmery accent tile on the backsplash are all perfect coastal elements....not to mention the serene wall color! ... View Post

If you're a sucker (like me!) for timeless design paired with fresh details, I know you're loving this Minnesota home designed by Studio M Interiors!

Turquoise Backsplash Ideas

There's no better way to add style and drama to your kitchen than with a turquoise backsplash! I'm no DIYer, but I'd have to think of all the ways to give your kitchen a facelift, swapping out the backsplash has to be one of the more inexpensive and easy options too. I know it's at the top of our list! I can't begin to tell you guys how much I adore a turquoise backsplash paired with white cabinets. I had a ton of fun going through my archive digging up some of my favorite examples! Of course ... View Post

The mason jar chandelier is so cool! And the cozy little wall nook?? ... View Post

If there's one thing I love about Kara Cox, it's her savvy way with color! The talented interior designer out of Greensboro, North Carolina used her signature fresh approach when renovating her family's 1954 mid-century split-level home, captured beautifully here by Stacey Van Berkel. The vibe is clean and simple, yet pattern and color, fabulous artwork and a mix of materials bring a ton of personality to the home! I'm telling you, it was love and sight with the vibrant sectional in her family ... View Post

This beautiful home may be located in the San Francisco area, but it definitely has Southern sensibilities!

Big porches will do just that! Builder Erik Hughes did a fantastic job incorporating many period ... View Post
