Historical Concepts - Day One

There's just something about a charming southern home that gets me every time and this fabulous one designed by the traditional architecture firm Historical Concepts absolutely took my breath away! Located near Bluffton, South Carolina, the cottage at Palmetto Bluff was decorated by Ruthie Edwards out of Hilton Head, SC, who layered soft neutrals and sea-inspired blue tones to create a fresh and soothing atmosphere. Doesn't it all feel so inviting and comfortable?? I LOVE that front porch with all the shutters! No matter the weather you could be out there relaxing! The open kitchen is great too...love those marble countertops! Y'all come back tomorrow because we'll be finishing the tour with lots more lovely photographs from Richard Leo Johnson/Atlantic Archives!

Abbe Fenimore + Shop Ten 25 Giveaway!

Since 2007, Dallas interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25 has been delighting homeowners (and lots of bloggers!) with her eclectic and vibrant style! I for one have been a fan for a long time, as Abbe was responsible for one of my all-time favorite bedrooms (see it here)! I looove this home she designed, photographed by Melanie Johnson, that happened to be featured in this month's Cottages & Bungalows. The yummy colors, fun patterns, and fab furniture (especially that tufted ottoman) are all just so great AND child-friendly, thanks to durable, stain-resistant fabrics! You can check out more eye candy and inspirations from Abbe at her website and her blog!

Not only is Abbe busy in her design studio, but she also runs a online store called Shop Ten 25 filled with unique and chic items for the home. Just this month the store was relaunched with terrific updates and tons of new pieces. To celebrate the relaunch, Abbe is generously giving away this pair of ceramic Foo Dogs with a gorgeous turquoise glaze, valued at $135. (They measure 3.5 x 5.5 x 13.5".)

Kendall Wilkinson + Sutro Architects

You may or may not know that I'm a big time fan of San Francisco interior designer Kendall Wilkinson, so I was really excited to discover more images of this fabulous Pacific Hillside home she designed along with Sutro Architects. The floor plan of the classic San Francisco home was updated by emphasizing the incredible bay view and enlarging the kitchen into an open plan filled with serene colors. That view is the real show stopper there...pretty sure I wouldn't eat a thing sitting in that cute breakfast nook! I love that the home combines more formal and casual areas, with plenty of great architectural details and fabulous furnishings! See more photographs taken by Aaron Leitz (including the stunning exterior!) right over here!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!! :)

Eddie Lee Inc.

I keep seeing the work of designer Eddie Lee popping up everywhere lately, and for good reason, his designs are so fresh and chic! This Westhampton beach home featured in the summer issue of Lonny photographed by Patrick Cline was designed to be an inviting, unpretentious space ideal for entertaining. But more importantly, the owners wanted every room to be child-friendly. I love the little guy's toys in the den by the fab banquette! Actually I love ALL of that room...the China Seas wallpaper, the window coverings, pillows, all so great! You can read all about this home and see more lots more photos right here!

Tobi Fairley Interior Design

Not only were the owners of this colorful Monticello, Arkansas home fortunate enough to inherit a beautiful home filled with wonderful old furniture, but also to work with designer Tobi Fairley in modernizing the traditional space! They had a lot of the antiques refinished or reupholstered, and added new pieces to update the space and make it functional for the active, young family. I love all the bright fabrics, fun patterns and colorful rugs with both! Aren't both those girls' rooms particularly dreamy?! The beds are amazing!! Read all about the home and see more photos taken by Nancy Nolan over at At Home in Arkansas!
