Tobi Fairley + The Chancellor Hotel

When it comes to style, The Chancellor Hotel in Fayetteville, Arkansas has it going on! How fabulous is their Chancellor Suite designed by Tobi Fairley and photographed here by Rett Peek?! You'd never guess it was even a hotel! Tobi wanted to bring level of sophistication to Arkansas reminiscent of her favorite classic hotels like the Carlyle in New York City, but infused with her signature colorful style that we all love. I could eat up all those turquoise chairs and the yellow sofas...so plush, so gorgeous!! Check out more photos and learn all about the project at Tobi's Blog!

Rachel Reider Interiors + Chapman House

I have quite the obsession with all things Nantucket, so imagine my delight when I saw this! The chic boutique hotel was designed by the Boston-based interior designer Rachel Reider, and I have to say I've never seen such a cool hotel, a hotel so up my design alley, in all my life...forget that it's even in Nantucket! Chapman House was built in 1717, but Rachel recently gave it one heck of a facelift. Public areas and each of the 11 unique guest rooms, captured here by Rare Brick, are brought to life with fabulous fabrics, bold colors and yummy prints, not to mention way-cool lighting, furniture and floor coverings. I love that there's still a coastal vibe (it is Nantucket after all) but not a whale to be seen! Get all the info on the hotel right over here, and see more images and learn about the project over at Rachel's website!

So happy it's Friday! This weekend Chris and I are headed off on a road trip to Montana! We're spending next week in a tiny little cabin in the middle of nowhere! We will get to see some great national parks though and hopefully a ton of wildlife. Feel free to follow me on Instagram! (May not be a whole lot of turquoise this trip....but I'm always on the lookout!) I have some guest bloggers ready and waiting to share some really great projects with you guys though, so keep on coming back while I'm away!

The Shrimp + Mermaid Cottages

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When I first opened the lime green door to The Shrimp, our own little cottage on Tybee Island, I was hit with a sudden burst of happiness! It was so bright! So cheerful!! SO ME! I'm telling you guys, if I was going to decorate a getaway cottage, it would look pretty much like this. Designer and preservationist Jane Coslick is responsible for the fun and funky design of this colorful slice of heaven. When she got her hands on the cottage, it was actually a rundown machine shop with only ONE window! (She added 15 new ones!) I cannot even imagine the work she did to restore it! And I can't think of a better place to call home for our stay on Tybee!

The cute little cottage is located just three short blocks from the ocean, directly across from a park. It's actually on the same property as another one of Jane's (equally as darling) projects Key Lime Parrot. (You can rent both out through Mermaid Cottages...what a fun family vacation that would be!) With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was plenty of room to stretch out. I loved the kitchen, totally decked out with colorful kitchenware–even turquoise placemats and napkins! And did you see that screened-in porch?! It just screams relax! The outdoor shower was a real treat too. And I just have to say, Chris and I were both surprised how remarkably CLEAN the entire place was. Maybe because it's old, but we just weren't expecting everything to feel so fresh and clean. (Nothing grosses me out like a scary old shower!) My favorite thing about the whole entire place though was the big comfy chair with the striped slipcover...if only I could have taken it home with me!

You can see a TON more (professional!) pics and read all about the cottage here. And check out all the other fun Mermaid Cottages on Tybee that you can rent right here. It was super hard to pick which one we wanted to stay at, they are all too cute! Next time I want to stay at Basking Under the Tybee Sun, it has it's own private pool!


So happy it's finally Friday! Tomorrow I'm headed to North Carolina to hit up the High Point Market for a few days and I cannot wait! Last year was mind-blowing, I was on design cloud nine every minute. It's basically like incredible non-stop window shopping in the coolest showrooms ever. (But I can't actually buy anything, so it's all good!) I will take loads of pics though and report back with some turquoise finds for you guys. I hear blue is going to be a big trend this fall, so we'll just see about that! If you're also headed to High Point, I hope to see you there!
