Virginia Kitchens + Harry Braswell Inc.

Wow, this kitchen! I cannot handle how much I love it!! The entire home was renovated by Harry Braswell Inc. out of Alexandria, Virginia, who worked with designer Erin Hoopes of Virginia Kitchens to create the dreamiest kitchen ever, as well as the the custom millwork throughout the home, photographed here by Greg Hadley. I think the turquoise rug got my attention first, I've been wanting that one forever. Then the shimmery aqua backsplash (from Susan Jablon Mosaics, but no longer stocked on their site), it's just so pretty! And of course the capiz chandelier (since I've wanted that forever too) above the darling banquette. But did you see the little turquoise sink?! I didn't even know I wanted that forever! So much to love!! Check out more amazing kitchens from Virginia Kitchens right on over here!

Rethink Design Studio

One place I'm dying to go is Tybee Island. To be honest, it's the whimsical beach cottages that I want to see most! This fabulous one designed by Joel and Erika Snayd of Rethink Design Studio out of Savannah, Georgia is totally style! I love how light and bright it is, with a great mix of vintage and modern pieces, and pops of colors layered over all the fresh white canvas. The breezy bedrooms are just so pretty too! I know there's not a ton of turquoise, but a little bit goes a long way! You do not want to miss out on the awesome upstairs of the home, so for lots more great photos taken by Richard Johnson, head right here! (Oh and check out Rethink Design's blog...there's great stuff there too!)

Erica Burns Interiors

How fun would it be to have a beach house in your family?! This Bethany Beach, Delaware home designed by Washington interior designer Erica Burns and photographed by Stacey Zarin Goldberg would be perfect! Lucky enough for Erica, it's also in her family! I love how Erica alluded to the beach in a subtle way here, through colors and textures...walls the color of sand, blue/green of the ocean, rustic reclaimed wood furniture, and the seagrass rugs and lamps. And how about that lantern? Doesn't it feel like it got that way from being outside in the salty air? And the pink stools, love those too! You can see more pics (including before's-n-after's!) and read all about the renovation of the beach home over at The Washington Post! And for more eye candy from Erica, visit her website here!

Susan Glick Interiors

I love the continuous flow of color and style throughout this sophisticated Westport, Connecticut beach home designed by Susan Glick and photographed by Jane Beiles and Stacy Bass. Inspired by home's beautiful views of Long Island Sound, Susan chose the soft, serene color palette and accented it with pops of turquoise. I am just loving the family room here, especially the bookshelves filled with coastal accessories. All of the symmetry too is so pleasing to the eye! You can read all about this amazing home in East Coast Home and Design, and check out even more of it at Susan's website here!
