Paz González de Aguilar

This cozy living room by Paz González de Aguilar, photographed by D. Vijande and F. Scheffel for El Mueble feels so warm and inviting, and above all just plain relaxing–exactly what we need with Thanksgiving right around the corner! Love those hits of turquoise and yellow; they help keep the vibe fresh and bright, while giving the rustic space a more current look. The collection of vases on the coffee table is my favorite! And how fantastic would it be to have those big doors that open right up ... View Post

The Southern Grind Coffee House – Orange Beach, Al

I've been wanting to visit Orange Beach, Alabama for so long–I hear their beaches are spectacular! I can tell you right now where I'd get my coffee fix: The Southern Grind Coffee House! Actually they serve way more than just coffee...including gelato!

They actually created the flag right above, LOVE that so much! The decor of the ... View Post

Profile Cabinet and Design

If there's anything better than a crisp white kitchen, it's one with a little bit of turquoise in the mix! Love how the pretty paint color (Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143) complements the gorgeous cabinetry by Profile Cabinet and Design! They worked with Debra Hudacek Contracting on updating the lakefront home in Kansas City creating a total dream kitchen for the lucky homeowners! So bright and airy with a touch of glam, the kitchen has all my favorite elements! The island is especially ... View Post

Harper Construction

Not only would this beautiful Kiawah Island, South Carolina home renovated by Chris Harper of Harper Construction be the perfect place to entertain, I can't imagine a better place to just hang out and relax–the sand and sea color palette is so soothing! I love how the turquoise throw pillows, artwork and accent chairs brighten up the neutral palette of the main floor, while the pretty paint colors upstairs give the bedrooms a restful, beachy vibe. The natural elements throughout add great ... View Post

Fisherman’s Wife Furniture

If you need a giant dose of inspiration to get you started on your next project, a visit to Fisherman's Wife Furniture is a must! Kaylor Little turned her hobby of rescuing furniture into a full time job, documenting her furniture makeovers and DIY projects on her blog (lucky for us)! She's also in the midst of updating her waterfront cottage in the Galveston, Texas area. I absolutely love what she's done so far in her kitchen and dining room, captured here by Ever & Anon Photography! The ... View Post

Dalia Canora Design

I'm so excited to be sharing the work of Dalia Canora, a Connecticut-based interior designer known for her sophisticated style that is always fresh and unpretentious.

From the mudroom (that might be the prettiest one I've ever laid eyes on!) to the super cozy porch, I'm feeling totally inspired by her work! ... View Post
