Benjie Jones

Every single room in this enchanting Atlanta home belonging to designer Benjie Jones gets a holiday touch! We're talking live trees in the kitchen and dining room, wreaths and a big wooden Santa in the master bedroom and bathroom, and leftover sprigs of evergreen tucked behind paintings everywhere. Keeping things artistic but measured, and fun without being too serious is actually the designer's everyday decorating approach. I'd love to see how his home looks the rest of the year, wouldn't you?? The robin’s egg-blue walls are gorgeous. I especially love it in the kitchen as a backdrop to the dinnerware and bottles. See more great photos by Erica George Dines and read all about the whimsical space over at Atlanta Home & Lifestyles!

Sita Montgomery

Can't you just tell that Sita Montgomery of The Family Room Design Studio had a ball decorating her Utah home?? The kitchen underwent a huge transformation over the summer. To give the space a fresh and bright feeling, she had the cabinets painted a soft, creamy off-white. I loooove how it turned out! The delightful family room has the same happy vibe of the kitchen...I am loving bursts of fresh color! Sita has lots more great photos of her home taken by Paige Davis over at her blog, so head on over to finish the tour. And if you're lucky enough to live in Utah and are looking for some design help, definitely look her up!

Sita was gracious enough to provide us with the source list below. If you're wondering about anything else, just ask!

NYC Bound + Giveaway Winner!

It's gonna be a good day! Chris and I are headed off bright and early this morning for a long weekend in New York City. I can't wait for the shopping (mostly of the window variety), delicious dining and hand-holding in Central Park! This magnificent townhome featured in Matchbook and photographed by Charlotte Elizabeth isn't actually in New York, it's in Charleston, South Carolina, but it reminded me of all the great homes in the city! They're so much fun to look at!

Now what you've all been waiting for...who is the winner of the Roman Glass Necklace from LoveFeast Table??

Dana from Adoption Journey

Congrats to you, Dana! And to everyone else, I hope you have a really great weekend!! Time to get your shopping on!

JoAnn Romano

Although this Kansas City home is smack dab in the middle of the country, JoAnn Romano – lead artist and owner of Architectural Elements, wanted the dining room to have a kind of coastal, beachy feel. The walls are incredible here, I love how JoAnn used both texture and metallics to bring life to the serene Aegean Sea color. She actually said the current trend in faux is color. From Tuscan to contemporary, people are looking to bring in color, freshness and happiness to their homes. I like the sound of that! Visit Kansas City Homes and Gardens to read the interesting history of this home, as well as see more photos by Chad Jackson. The home is sprinkled with turquoise!

Krista Salmon

Sometimes I wish I was little again, if only to have a insanely fun room like this one! Designed by Krista Salmon of Kiki's List for her lucky little girl Lou, the new big girl room displays attention to detail like no other! Virginia artist Corinne Marlowe painted those fab stripes on the ceiling, which match Krista's great paint job on the bed. I love the adorable P. Kaufman "Camelot" fabric on the windows, Benjamin Moore's Bird's Egg on the walls...and no doubt about it, that gorgeous chandelier! At first I thought it was my beloved designed by Marjorie Skouras, but turns out it was custom made by Lindsey of the Etsy shop Simply Salvage, who hand painted over 4,000 beads Bird's Egg to match the walls! For sources and to see more photos taken by the talented Ryann Colleen, head on over to Kiki's List!


Today I'm honored to be guest posting at my friend Luciane's blog, HomeBunch, where I shared a super cute coastal cottage with her readers! Head on over and check it out, and wish her a big congrats...she just had an adorable baby boy Matthew and I couldn't be more excited for her!
