Andra Birkerts Interior Design










You don't know how tempting it is to just pick up and move to the East Coast!! This coastal Rockport, Massachusetts summer home with interior design by Andra Birkerts is stuff my dreams are made of. The home feels like it has been around for a while, but it's actually newly built by S&H Construction with design by Charles Myer and Partners. Isn't that bunkroom incredible?? It sleeps 10 kids!! All of the pretty painted floors are my favorite feature of the home though! You can read all about the breezy home over at Design New England!


For more turquoise fun today, head over to COCOCOZY where I am guest blogging! I guarantee you'll enjoy the home tour....it's one you have already begun and loved!

Fun News + Giveaway Winner!



What a week! Some of you may remember that last October we put our house on the market. It was really slow-going over the holiday season, but this week we accepted an offer! Negotiations, inspections (and lets be honest, cleaning!) made for a busy week! I was expecting to wait a lot longer since we didn't want to drop the price very much, so we're happy–as much as we can expect to be in this economy at least. Now the fun can really start...house hunting! We couldn't help but start our search a little early and have already seen some really great homes, and are excited to dig a little deeper to see what else is out there! I'm thinking this lovely Martha's Vineyard gem featured in Design New England and photographed by Eric Roth would be perfect! ;)

Before I sign off, I need to announce the winner of the HeartGram giveaway!


And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Elizabeth Newman Interior Design






What is it about turquoise and orange?! Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina designer Elizabeth Newman sure knows...the two complementary colors provide a fresh contrast that our eyes just eat right up! I love this porch so much, even if I'm craving an iced tea big time right now! The bright throw pillows liven up the space, but it's those aqua cane chairs that I am loving most! See lots more fresh, cheery spaces from Elizabeth right here!

Allison Elebash Interior Design










If these images take you away to somewhere warm and sunny, that's because the designer, Allison Elebash, is based out of St. Kitts in the West Indies! She's known for uncluttered, airy spaces with accents of fun color, all of which I'm loving in her portfolio! Isn't that first image particularly stunning?? The blue background on the shelves really takes the display to a new level!

Lucy Interior Design






I love winter, I really do, but this fab sunroom is making me long for summer! Designed by Minneapolis-based Lucy Penfield of Lucy Interior Design and photographed by Andrea Rugg, the beautiful room is all about great texture, fun patterns, pretty color and loads of sunshine! Both comfortable and chic, I can imagine the homeowners (and their cute fluffy cat!) spend a lot of time kickin' up their feet in this space!

Jamie Salomon + Nancy Twomey






These cheerful kids' rooms photographed by Jamie Salomon display both modern flair and timeless tradition, while maintaining a fun vibe that any child (or adult!) would love! The spaces were designed by Nancy Twomey, principal designer of Finnian's Moon Interiors located in Alexandria, Virginia. She actually specializes in nurseries and children's spaces....fresh, yet tasteful ones, filled with great color, fabric and patterns! I love the color palettes in these rooms...Mother Nature wouldn't lead us astray! Oh and the bedding, LOVE the bedding!

Happy Weekend!!!

Paint Color Help!





Have any of you watched the HGTV show "Selling LA"? I haven't been able to catch it yet, but on a recent episode (Jan 5) they showed this fabulous Venice Beach, California home. My reader Tracy is totally obsessed with the kitchen (in a good way, we've all been there!) and would love to know the paint color. We have no idea who designed the kitchen, but thought we'd put it out there and maybe someone, somewhere knows! And if not, guesses are more than welcome. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this kitchen as much as we did! You can tour the rest of the home (now sold) right here!

Billy Roberts Design










This Sea Island, Georgia vacation home designed by Billy Roberts and photographed by Lauren Rubinstein is just what the doctor ordered....it is feeling awfully cold here in Minneapolis! The beautiful home features some pretty amazing marsh views and the sun setting down over the marsh changes the colors in the home; the white walls come alive with light blues, oranges and greens. How cool would that be to see? This is just a sampling of the 12,000 sq foot home, so head to Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles to see more images!

Viscusi Elson Interior Design






Does this family love color or what?! Designed by Viscusi Elson Interior Design (can you tell I'm a big fan of them?), the comfortable family room is loads of fun with its bright colors and whimsical touches. Those fox sconces designed by artist Bill Huebbe are awesome! I just love the energy in this room, but the entire home has a ton of character. You can take the full tour right here!
