There's so much design talent based out of my home state of Minnesota...one of my favorites being Bria Hammel Interiors. I absolutely adore her bright, fresh and feminine style! Bria's designs are nothing short of beautiful, functional and inviting and this Minneapolis home is no exception. The talented designer worked with Stephen Longman Builders to completely restore and update the charming 1925 Tudor captured by Spacecrafting, filling it with layers of pattern and a palette of pretty pastels ...

Amy Studebaker Design
One of my favorite interior designers out of St. Louis, Missouri is Amy Studebaker...I just love the way her designs exude a fresh yet timeless style with a unique collected vibe. This home in particular captured by photographer Alise O'Brien couldn't be more stunning! I mean, hello, look at this drop dead gorgeous master bathroom. What a genius decision to paint the trim, millwork and cabinetry Farrow & Ball's "Oval Room Blue". The talented designer worked with PK Construction and Mitchell ... View Post
Tracery Interiors
While on the hunt for a potential summer vacation spot, I stumbled on Grand View–an incredible Texas beach house on Mustang Island in the beachside community of Cinnamon Shore. Think 30A on the Texas coast! I immediately recognized the work of one of my favorite interior designers: Paige Sumblin Schnell and her firm Tracery Interiors. Part of this home was actually featured in their book so I was excited to finally see the entire thing! The custom-built beachfront stunner was designed by ... View Post

Villa Helios – Turks and Caicos
I'm sorry to have been MIA lately, we've been super busy with spring break! A big snowstorm came our way here in Minnesota this week dumping almost a foot of new snow on us, and to top it all off, now we're talking record cold temps. NOT cool. This is why I've been spending way too much time perusing vacation rentals daydreaming of a warm, turquoise-filled getaway. One of the gems I discovered was Villa Helios of Long Bay Beach Club in Turks and Caicos. The sleek luxury oceanfront villa uses ... View Post

Here we are on the final day of our tour of this Figure Eight Island beach house designed by Lindsey Cheek of Gathered, a design firm and boutique in Wilmington, North Carolina.

With minimal furnishings and a soothing ocean-inspired color palette, the designer let the incredible surroundings take center stage in the master bedroom (painted Benjamin Moore Palladium Blue HC-144). Your eyes wander straight to the ocean view! Can you even imagine waking up to that?! *Sigh* ... View Post
