Home for the Holidays

We're getting down to the wire, folks! You getting excited?! I love this down home, cozy image from Coastal Living with just touches of my favorite color. Love those presents! What fun to have a little bitty Christmas tree in the corner too. Speaking of Christmas trees, thanks so much for all your positive comments on my own tree yesterday! You guys made my (and my cats) day! :)

My Turquoise Christmas Tree

Here are the photos I promised! My tree feels so inadequate compared to all the fantastic ones I've seen in the blogosphere, but it's mine and it's turquoise and I love it. I was worried the two rascals you see would tear the tree up (last year I had a fake tree and Spencer, the orange and white cat, spent his days climbing it to the top). They pretty much leave it alone, aside from wrestling with the tree skirt and drinking the water. Isn't my little Kismet just the cutest?! ;)

Suzanne Kasler

I love the work of brilliant designer Suzanne Kasler...these rooms from the Southern Accents Watersound Beach Showhouse are some of my all-time favorites. All the heavenly shades of blue...what a dream beach house! In case you missed it, The Skirted Roundtable sat down with the Suzanne back in October. Definitely an episode not to miss! I especially enjoyed (and learned a lot from!) their discussion on color, something that Suzanne has a real gift for!

I anxiously await the holiday season all year, so pardon me while I post even more beautiful blue Christmas decor with you! (To see last Friday's round-up, go here.) I was lazy all week and didn't snap any photos of my own tree, but I promise I'll do that this weekend (that is when I'm not at the mall!) Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Coastal Christmas

I immediately fell for this kitchen that Cassandra of coco+kelley featured in her inspirational post all about Christmas by the beach. As much as I love our snowy, cold Minnesota winters, sometimes I think a nice holiday spent in a beach home would make for a memorable Christmas!

Blake Dollahite

If you haven't already seen this modern farmhouse in Austin belonging to and built by Blake Dollahite, you're in for a treat. I love the simplicity and attention to deal that is shown. I mean how cool is that fan?! According to a reader of desire to inspire:

With the help of his father and after 4 years of effort, the home was complete. Blake decided to build the furnishings himself, everything from cabinetry to the coffee table to the bed to the media cabinet. For the home, and its finishings and furnishings he used reclaimed/recycled products almost exclusively and to stunningly simple, warm, intelligent and inviting effect.

Check out Blake's website for many more stunning photographs! You don't want to miss the rest of the house and yard!

Walsh Design Group

What a sophisticated room designed by Minneapolis-based Walsh Design Group. The symmetry of all the details is just so pleasing to the eye! I am really loving the beautifully ornate matching headboards and crowns, sparkling chandeliers and pretty turquoise pillows. I wish I could see more of that floor covering too, because it looks equally as lovely!
