B. Jane Gardens

This fabulous backyard in Austin, Texas designed by B. Jane Gardens is quite the hidden oasis! The full-service landscape design and build group created a totally private pool/entertaining space as well as separate private master patio with outdoor shower (my dream!) and built-in spa! I just love the colorful tile layout on the pool and how they pulled those colors out as accents throughout the rest of the space. And I know my husband would love to have that built-in grill area! This would ... View Post

Fixer Upper-Inspired Farmhouse

Like so many of us, the couple who own this delightful Louisiana farmhouse love everything Fixer Upper! When they were designing their new home, they found themselves taking a lot of cues from Chip and Joanna Gaines, including fixtures and furniture, from shiplap to subway tile. You'll also find plenty of fun vintage finds throughout, like the antique butcher-block island, Magic Chef range, and adorable kids' beds they painted Duck Egg Blue by Annie Sloan. And in pure Southern style, I love that ... View Post

Burns + Beyerl Architects

With summer quickly coming to an end, I can't help but savor this beautiful Lake Michigan beach home by Chicago-based Burns + Beyerl Architects! Captured by photographer Nathan Kirkman, the amazing home boasts some jaw-dropping lake views and plenty of windows and outdoor spaces that take full advantage of them! I love how the indoor spaces flow right onto the porches and terraces, and even from the inside, the use of blues and sandy hues throughout bring the serenity of the lake view back ... View Post

Mary Mac & Company

What a spectacular view and incredible outdoor space to go along with it! This amazing Birmingham home was designed by Mary McWilliams of Mary Mac & Company, an Atlanta-based interior designer known for her attention to detail and timeless style. She clearly brought both to this entertainer's paradise! How could you not feel like you were on vacation every day with a backyard like this?

Bella Vici

This beautiful Weatherford, OK home designed by Bella Vici, an award-winning interior design firm and retail shop based in Oklahoma City, has touches of Belgian, farmhouse and traditional...all combined with fresh, modern colors! My eye went straight to the blue tiled fireplace; what a great focal point! I love how they complemented the tile color with the gorgeous rug, and used more of those colors as accents throughout the rest of the space. The kitchen island is by far my favorite element! ...

Blue Paradise – Seacrest Beach, FL

It's always fun to indulge in some real estate fantasies! This amazing Seacrest Beach, Florida home is filled to the brim with southern charm! (There are six porches you guys!) Of course it was the coastal color palette that immediately won me over. The breezy blue hues used throughout create such a calming atmosphere, while the natural textures and seaside accents add to the beachy vibe. And I love how the home, while obviously quite large, still feels cozy and comfortable thanks to all of the ... View Post

Sonia Reixach Interior Design

Turquoise and pink never fails to make my heart skip a beat! This beautiful Madrid, Spain apartment by Sonia Reixach Interior Design is filled with a slew of happy hues that reflect its owner's joy for life. The natural light and high ceilings are fabulous on their own, but the white background dotted with vivid, feminine colors really bring it to life! The cushy floor pillows piled up for a sofa look so comfy and colorful! (Though maybe not so practical for someone eight months pregnant like ... View Post
