Happy Place Beach House – WaterColor, Florida

I can never resist a virtual escape and this WaterColor, Florida beach home provided just the mental vacation I needed today! Happy Place is a slice of heaven right on 30A, with the perfect location that is both close to the beach and the town of Seaside. Not sure I'd want to leave the house though with 9 porch areas to relax on, 7 bedrooms to sleep in, a huge beautiful great room, fabulous kitchen, bunk rooms for the kids, and of course a private pool! Not only that, but there's a guest house ... View Post

Krista Watterworth Design Studio

There's just something about this Florida home designed by Krista Watterworth Design Studio that feels so ethereal! The whites, grays and splashes of aqua come together with layers of textures and patterns in the most beautiful way. The open living area and kitchen is the most gorgeous space, with the perfect layout for cooking and entertaining! Love that dreamy master bathroom too! You guys can finish your tour of the home with more photos by Troy Campbell right over here! Last week Wesley ... View Post

Rambling Renovators

I just adore this beachy laundry room belonging to Jennifer of Rambling Renovators!! She actually completed the remodel a couple of years ago, but recently went back to take a look at it to see what worked and didn't work for them. (How awesome is that?!) I'm happy to report the beautiful backsplash is a feature they are indeed happy with! The glass tile adds color and brings interest to the mostly white space, and it's easy to keep clean! You can read all about the renovation and see more ... View Post

Nina Liddle Design

One of my favorite places I've ever been is Sconset, the cutest little village on the coast of Nantucket. What a dream it would be to live there, especially in this gorgeous home by Nina Liddle Design! All of the white makes the home so bright and airy! And talk about the perfect backdrop for all of the colorful accents...I love the dramatic impact it gives all of the fun and fabulous details in every room! There's lots left to see, so for more great photos taken by Kit Noble, head over here ... View Post

Wicks Nest

I've really been enjoying the summer home tours going on recently in Blogland...one of my favorites being the Pleasanton, California home of Kristy Wick, the author of the blog Wicks Nest! Like me, Kristy is a big fan of all shades of blue. When deciding on paint colors, she went with ones that made her the happiest–the colors of the sky and ocean, choosing shades that would give the home an airy, light and bright vibe. And it really does, every room feels like a vacation! Not only that, but it ... View Post

My Powder Bath Reveal!

Excuse all the pics for such a tiny room, but I'm in love with our new powder bathroom!! My husband Chris started working on the space over a year ago, but once Wesley was born the project got pushed to the backburner. He recently had time to finish it up and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! I didn't realize what a handyman Chris was...and I don't think he did either! He ripped everything out, installed the gorgeous new floor tile, trim, toilet, sink, mirror, light fixture and everything ... View Post

Stranded on Purpose – Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

Oh my goodness, how fun is this?! Stranded on Purpose, an Ocracoke Island, North Carolina beach house, was completely renovated from top to bottom by Betsy and her husband Chris...without spending thousands of dollars on designer furniture and decor! Betsy spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking for ideas, scoured Craiglist for deals, as well as Buy/Sell/Trade groups on Facebook. And of course finding the perfect shade of paint never hurts! Love the creative details like the vintage badminton ... View Post
