K. Marshall Design

Taking her color cues from the home’s ocean-side setting, interior designer Kathy Marshall of K. Marshall Design gave this Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts home a fresh, coastal cool aesthetic that I absolutely love! The kitchen is headed straight to my "dream file" with its blue cabinets and island, Galbraith & Paul wallpapered accent wall and custom blue glass pendants. I think my favorite element might be the cozy breakfast nook though! I adore the fun mix of blue throw pillows set ... View Post

Reed & Acanthus Interior Design

I'm loving the cheery aqua and coral color palette of this beautiful living room designed by Katharine Kelly Rhudy of New Canaan, Connecticut-based Reed & Acanthus Interior Design. The fresh, upbeat take on chinoiserie is fantastic! I always love a pretty wallcovering and the aqua Bamboo Lattice wallpaper from Thibaut looks especially amazing paired with their stunning Luzon fabric on the windows. The sofa and chairs are gorgeous too...the coral trim is the perfect finishing touch! Even ... View Post

Nancy Serafini Interior Design

I can't believe it's been six years since we took our trip to Cape Cod, one of my favorite vacations (and best birthdays) ever! Looking back the highlight for me was our day trip to Nantucket, the idyllic little island thirty miles south of Cape Cod. Walking the charming cobblestone streets and drooling over the cedar-shingled homes was magical! I mean, look at the home above! How could you not stop and stare?! Boston and Nantucket-based interior designer Nancy Serafini worked with architect Tom ... View Post

Inside and out, this Brentwood, California home designed by Lara Fishman of Los Angeles-based Storm Interiors is the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort! Captured by photographer Lu Tapp of Dustylu, the Cape Cod-inspired home is filled with carefully curated colors that reflect the homeowner's favorites: teals, sea greens and touches of mauves and aubergines.

Buck Custom Homes

A backyard made of sand, now that's my dream!

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2017 Southeastern Designer Showhouse

I can hardly remember a designer showhouse that left me breathless like the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2017 Southeastern Designer Showhouse! The historic James Means-designed home in the heart of Buckhead, Georgia was completely transformed by some of the most talented designers in the Southeast. I'm only sharing a portion of the home (captured by photographers Mali Azima, David Christensen and Emily Followill), so be sure to see the rest here! I'll take you through some of my favorite ...

The entire home makes a statement yet feels harmonious too! The family room with the ... View Post

Geoff Chick & Associates

If you're a devotee of Coastal Living magazine, you might recognize this dreamy beach house! The WaterSound, Florida retreat designed by architect Geoff Chick and built by Chris Clark was featured in the magazine a couple of years ago. As I was browsing 30A real estate listings the other day, I happened to spot the fun dining room in a new listing...it's a pretty unforgettable space, isn't it?! LOVE those chairs! The neatest thing about the home is actually the story behind it. Homeowners and ... View Post
