Erica Pigula Interior Design

The coast was definitely the inspiration behind this Juno Beach, Florida condo designed by Erica Pigula Interior Design, captured here by Brantley Photography! The Syracuse, NY-based designer added a ton of whimsy to the oceanfront home with custom pieces, colorful artwork and eye-catching pattern! The condo actually belongs to Erica's parents for use as a family vacation home, and with her two small boys in mind, she made sure the design was playful and child-friendly! I really love how the ... View Post

Morgan Harrison Home

When it comes to pretty, no one does it like Michelle Morgan Harrison, owner and principal designer of Morgan Harrison Home! The Connecticut-based interior designer is known for creating beautiful classic rooms with a modern twist and a hint of glamour. Take this New Canaan home designed by Schettino Architects and captured by Jane Beiles Photography for example...it's room after room of pretty colors, textures and finishes! My favorite space of all? The kitchen–it's such a dream! I adore the ... View Post

HGTV Smart Home 2016 Kitchen & Dining Room

The stunning hand-painted backsplash tile inspired interior designer Tiffany Brooks on all the other design elements in the gorgeous kitchen and dining room of the HGTV Smart Home 2016 in Raleigh, NC! Definitely the heart of this home, the open concept space (captured by Robert Peterson of Rustic White Photography and Sarah Dorio of Flynnside Out Productions) combines both function and style. Love how the chic teal barstools at the island coordinate with the wingback chairs, helping to ... View Post

Strickland Homes

I have such a soft spot for Victorian-style homes, they always remind of my grandparent's farmhouse in Iowa! It's not too often you see one decked out in colorful, coastal-inspired decor like this one located just down the street from the ocean in Norfolk, Virginia. The beautiful home was built by Strickland Homes and captured by Journey Through Life Photography. Indoors and out, it's just a delight! Love the rounded front porch (and big back porch too!), the fun pops of color and pattern, and ... View Post

Thibaut

I always love to check in on Thibaut to see what's happening. Their collections of fabrics and wallpapers always impress me–and leave me wanting to re-do my whole house! They recently unveiled Bridgehampton, a collection of peppy and spirited traditional patterns inspired by the fashionable area in New York. (Though I had to include that fun bike image from their new indoor/outdoor collection Calypso!) I absolutely adore Portofino, the colorful and intricate jacobean pattern. And Midland ... View Post

L’Echapper Belle – Bald Head Island, NC

L'Echapper Belle ("The Beautiful Escape") is a breezy beachfront home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and it is headed straight to my all-time favorites list! Captured beautifully by photographers Gridley + Graves for a cover story in Beach Cottages magazine, the beach home is awash in soft greens and blues, paired with white and pale woods that keep everything feeling light and airy–perfect for the beach! The homeowner worked with Shelley Thompson of Cottage Chic to outfit much of the ... View Post

Heather Scott Home and Design

When this empty-nester couple decided it was past time to update their home and get the furniture they wanted to have, they turned to Heather Scott Home & Design–an interior design firm and boutique based in Austin, Texas! I love how they used cool and calm shades of blue, as well as cream and white, throughout the rooms (photographed here by Kimberly Davis) so the home flows and feels put together. I can't decide what I love more...the formal dining room with the patterned grasscloth ... View Post

HGTV Smart Home 2016 Guest Bedroom

My day was made when I noticed the photos for the HGTV Smart Home 2016 were up on their site! Interior designer Tiffany Brooks did a fantastic job on the entire Raleigh, NC home, but one of my favorite spaces was this vibrant guest bedroom with tons of personality...and turquoise! It was love at first sight if only for the wallpaper, an eye-catching pattern from Eijffinger's Belle de Jour collection. The little nook in the corner is cute too...love how she used the curtains to define the space ... View Post
