Cute Colorful Cottage




This adorable 929-square-foot carriage house in Des Moines, Iowa was completely transformed by the Country Living design team. I love the simple stencil pattern on the gorgeous aqua end walls of the upstairs. -Country Living

French Country Bathroom

Provençal decorating mixes a plain country look with heirlooms. Calm blue-grey walls and white woodwork provide a backdrop to a painted freestanding bath. An Osborne & Little floral blind and seat cushion from GP & J Baker pick up the colours of a painting. Bare stained boards are warm, a white heart-shaped metal chair adds glamour. -House to Home

Breakfast at Tiffany's Dining Room

The room was pulled together around the Breakfast at Tiffany's painting that my husband painted for my birthday. It inspired the wall color, chandelier, and collection of mercury glass. I love the combination of the delicate, jewelry-inspired details with the chunky table and rug. This room is a good representation of us. We worked on everything in this space together, from painting the walls to completely restoring the vintage chandelier. -Domino

Seafoam Blue Foyer

The astonishing swimming-pool-cool hall color in the foyer—Blue Seafoam by Benjamin Moore—instantly won over Margot Brunelle Fooshee and her husband when they first saw this Long Island house. A chair in a harmonizing color was a gift from Margot's mother, from the family's summer house in Nantucket. Preserved 18th-century floorboards were simply sanded and waxed. -House Beautiful

A Turquoise Greek Revival Drawing Room

Interiors from the Georgian through the Greek Revival period in American architecture (late-18th century to mid-19th century) didn't shy away from bright colors, like the turquoise in this Greek Revival drawing room. The colors set off the (often) painted classical details used throughout the rooms. -This Old House

Big Statement in a Small Space

The large-scale striped wallpaper is an invigorating background in the tiny bath. There wasn't room for a standard mirror above the sink because of the angle of the walls, so the fanciful peacock mirror is mounted on a side wall. With blue as the dominant color and brown as an accent, the color scheme is a mirror image of the bedroom. This is a surefire trick for decorating adjoining rooms. -Better Homes and Gardens

Ornate Hallway

Give your guest a decadent welcome by creating an opulent hallway. Begin by painting the walls a bold, rich color. Then add an ornate mirror and antique console to the space, and then finish off the look by adorning the table with vintage glass vases. -House to Home

Bright and Bold Kitchen


I get inspiration from color. Bold, bright, day or night I like to select a variety of colors that make a huge impact as you move from room to room. I use color to push areas allowing furniture and art to pop. -Apartment Therapy
