The Little Beach House – WaterColor, Florida

It's been a while since we've popped into the 30A area of Florida to check out the dreamy homes! The Little Beach House is a pastel-filled gem located in the heart of WaterColor, with pops of turquoise and pink and plenty of vintage-inspired touches! Once again it's the kitchen that I'm totally gaga over. The pink retro-styled Northstar appliances are just so cute, and I love the island, cafe curtains and cabinetry too! The Lilly Pulitzer drapes and turquoise built-in desk in the master bedroom ... View Post

Bowley Builders

You'd always be in a summer state of mind living here! This coastal Kennebunkport, Maine home was built by Bowley Builders, designed by Graham Architects, beautifully styled by Janice Dunwoody and captured by photographer Irvin Serrano. I'm in love with the splashes of color throughout, but am especially drooling over that kitchen! (What is it about kitchens?!) I can't stop staring at the backsplash...I just adore the cool, watery hues of that tile! The aqua Viking range and turquoise chandelier ... View Post

Kati Curtis Design

I hope whoever lives in this Hamptons beach house is all tucked in and cozy by the fire right now! Winter or summer, this is one gorgeous home designed by NYC-based Kati Curtis, brimming with seaside shades that are as serene as they come. I was dying to know the paint colors, but turns out most of them were custom mixed...except the master bedroom which is Benjamin Moore's Silver Grey. Love the open kitchen and dining area, cozy family room, and incredible spiral staircase! How amazing to have ... View Post

Sophie Metz Design

I love to fantasize about living on Nantucket, the idyllic dreamland of cute shingled houses surrounded by the sea! (Although maybe not right now with the big snowstorm!) These serene spaces were taken from the portfolio of Nantucket-based Sophie Metz Design, captured by photographer Sam Oberter. The clean and airy spaces are filled with calming sea-inspired blues and grays with natural texture to keep things warm. I especially love the crisp white kitchen with its pops of color! There is plenty ... View Post

Artistic Designs for Living

No doubt this is a space for an artist! The colorful bedroom was designed by Tineke Triggs, principal of the San Francisco-based firm Artistic Designs for Living and was part of the 2014 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. "Lily's Pad" (photographed here by Eric Rorer) is all about no boundaries...a space for a teen artist/dancer to be creative and freely express herself. The inspiration began with the blue and green rug that simulates dripping paint, a common theme found throughout the space. I ... View Post

Pine Cone Hill Giveaway!

After the New Year begins, I am so over the cold and snow...spring cannot get here soon enough! Unfortunately here in Minnesota that usually takes a (long) while, so it's images like this from Sanna & Sania that put me in a happy place! For the same reason I also love to fill our home with color. Out with the cozy faux fur throws, fraser fir candles and Christmas decor, in with the bright and cheery color! Today I have one super bright and cheery giveaway for you guys, perfect for bringing ... View Post

Lee Ann Thornton Interiors

I'm such a big fan of interior designer Lee Ann Thornton and was excited to see this incredible Greenwich, Connecticut home that she designed featured in House Beautiful! Considering blue and white are the designer's signature colors (she admits she's obsessed!) and the water view from almost every room, Lee Ann went with a coastal look infusing different shades of blue throughout the home. I think the kitchen might be my favorite space, but the cheery living room and cozy master bedroom are ... View Post

Elizabeth Home Decor and Design

This beautiful Wellesley, Massachusetts home designed by Elizabeth Benedict of Elizabeth Home Decor and Design and photographed by Michael J. Lee has such a serene, pretty palette that feels so fresh and feminine, leaving me dreaming of spring! The inspiration for the home was the painting in the living room, an Etsy find that belonged to the homeowner. Speaking of art...I love all of it here–especially the piece in the dining room by Julia Blake and the painting in the kitchen by Libby ... View Post
