Honeymoon??

Right now it's -10 degrees outside here in Minneapolis (but feels like -30). And this weekend we experienced a record-breaking blizzard.....with over 17 inches of new snow. Fun. Stuck inside, we couldn't help but daydream about our upcoming honeymoon in April. We haven't decided on a destination yet. The only requirement: turquoise water. (Shocking, right?) How absolutely fabulous would it be to stay in the Maldives, at the exquisite Anantara Veli Resort & Spa?! My goodness.

I'm dying to ask you guys...where have you been with dazzling turquoise water?? I'd love your two cents!

Cottage Bedroom Makeover

Does it get any better than this 1920s stucco cottage in East Hampton designed by House Beautiful contributing editor Frances Schultz? I'm madly in love with her master suite, which used to be the two tiny front bedrooms. All of the fabulous blue on the walls and pretty fabrics, the half canopy, and the dressing table! And the study...what a perfect place to blog! The photographs by Trevor Tondro really capture it all so beautifully too. To see before-n-afters of the space, head to House Beautiful!

I'm so happy it's Friday! Believe it or not, 6 weeks from today Chris and I will be getting married. (Didn't we just get engaged?!) Tonight I'm meeting with a hair and makeup artist to go over my vision and on Sunday Chris' super sweet sisters are throwing me a wedding shower! My very own wedding shower...I can't believe it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend too!

Costas Picadas

When the proportion of AM child's room above his blog Cape Cod Design, I had a suspicion the rest of the house photographed by Costas Picadas must be damn cool too. So I did some research and found several photos of the party blue and white on the Greek island of Mykonos. These funky chandeliers are great and I want them all. While we're at it, I'll get spectacular views too! See more photos here!

Costas Picadas

When A-M shared the above children's room on her Cape Cod Designs blog, I had a suspicion the rest of the house photographed by Costas Picadas must be pretty darn cool too. So I did a little digging and found more images of this blue and white vacation home on the Greek island of Mykonos. Those funky chandeliers are awesome and I want them all. While we're at it, I'll take that spectacular view too! See more photos here!

Reggie Marshall's Garden Getaway

If this enchanting garden getaway wasn't featured in At Home in Arkansas, I would have sworn it was in the European countryside. Photographed by Rett Peek, the Little Rock designer Reggie Marshall created this backyard escape as a place to relax. What started as an old garage with a little upstairs apartment in the middle of the city was reborn as a French guesthouse surrounded by an overgrown English garden. What a transformation! I imagine afternoons spent here are never-ending! Read all about it and see more photos here!

Tim Clarke

Interior designer Tim Clarke out of Santa Monica, California is known for taking classic motifs and interpreting them in a fresh way. I adore his modern beach home style...free and light, nautical without being kitschy. Tim's retail store in Santa Monica, Tower 20 Store, reflects his coastal modern aesthetic so even us land-locked (and freezing cold) folks can infuse our homes with sophisticated, beachy style. See more of his work over at Coastal Living, and his website!

Thanks you guys for all your sweet birthday comments for my dad yesterday!! He got such a kick out of reading them! :)
