Maddie’s Seaside Cottage – Tybee Island, GA

There's nothing quite like a Jane Coslick cottage to put a smile on your face! I'm excited to be sharing my photos from our recent vacation at Maddie's Seaside Cottage on Tybee Island, the laid back little island just outside of Savannah, Georgia. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know Tybee is one of my favorite places to visit. I learned of the island almost ten years ago now after I discovered the work of interior designer and preservationist Jane Coslick; I was immediately ... View Post

Sustainable Kitchens

  I love an all-white kitchen as much as the next person, but the pops of color in this fabulous UK kitchen by Sustainable Kitchens give it so much personality! The painted floor and crisp white walls really set the stage for the turquoise island and two-tone cabinets. I love the deep navy, especially with the contrasting turquoise knobs! All of the playful accessories and colorful artwork only add to the lighthearted vibe. And you can never go ... View Post

Kara Hebert Interiors

I really love the work of Jupiter, Florida-based interior designer Kara Hebert. Everything she does is totally up my alley and exactly what I'd love to do in my own home! There are so many fabulous elements in her Turtle Creek project that I'm gaga over–the creative use of gorgeous wallpaper (Quadrille's Java Java on the bathroom ceiling and the Galbraith and Paul behind the bed), beautiful assortment of blue and white fabrics, eye-catching, colorful artwork, the list goes on and on! I can't get ... View Post

Mallory Mathison + Brandon Ingram

You should have heard me gasp when I first laid on this incredible home designed by Atlanta architect Brandon Ingram and interior designer Mallory Mathison Glenn that was featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles! Located on a 4,500-acre hunting plantation in the Red Hills region of South Georgia, the spectacular home features classically inspired roots with a young, fresh feel. The strategic use of saturated color and pattern throughout definitely gives the home that youthful twist the owners ... View Post

Captured by photographer Tia Fennelly, the dreamy home in New Brunswick, Canada embraces its waterfront location in all the right ways. The wood look porcelain tile flooring and custom stained shiplap are the perfect beachy backdrop for the fresh coastal hues. We definitely need to discuss the gorgeous ... View Post

Kate Lester Interiors

I'm endlessly inspired by the work of Kate Lester, a Los Angeles-based interior designer known for creating spaces that are luxurious, livable and unique. I was immediately drawn to one of her recent projects, this Cape Cod-style home in Manhattan Beach, California captured beautifully by photographer Amy Bartlam. It's brimming with unexpected colors, fun patterns and textures, not to mention a subtle coastal vibe I can't get enough of! Each room is comfortable and inviting, yet sophisticated ... View Post

Itta Estudio

Thanks to interior designers Israel Egío and Alejandra Fontelos of Itta Estudio, the owners of this cheery beach condo in Alicante, Spain are about to spend their retirement relaxing in style! The talented designers wanted the home to be modern, bright and colorful, with subtle nods to the sparkling Mediterranean sea outside. (How about that terrace view?!) The owners' main priority was making sure the home was simple and practical. They definitely achieved both! The fun colors paired with a ... View Post

Velvet Pumpkin Giveaway!

I have begrudgingly accepted the fact that fall is in full swing. (Summers are just way too short in Minnesota!) Once I wrapped my head around the idea, we immediately outfitted our steps with some pretty tri-colored mums, pumpkins and a new door mat...but nothing near as fabulous as this front door styled by Elizabeth Demos and photographed by Christopher Shane for HGTV Magazine! It's definitely not your traditional fall display, and I LOVE it! The striped Dash and Albert runner paired with the ... View Post
