Florida Beach House

I wonder how many homes out there were inspired by the movie Something's Gotta Give. I mean, who doesn't love that kitchen?! Well the owner of this beautiful beach home in Grayton Beach, Florida photographed by Colleen Duffley said the movie definitely inspired their new home, the kitchen and its adjoining great room in particular. I am really digging their interpretation. As much as I love white painted trim, it's refreshing to see some wood! Tour the rest of the home (including a super fun bunk room) over at Traditional Home. Oh, and get this...the cottage is available for rental when the owners aren’t enjoying it themselves! See more images and get info here!

Bonesteel Trout Hall

There's something to be said about the clean, earthy, colorful textures of the coast. In my book, no one interprets it better than the design firm Bonesteel Trout Hall, whose style epitomizes the laid back glamour of the California lifestyle. I absolutely adore their serene rooms filled with watery blues and greens. But just how fun are the rooms with more punchy color?? I'm loving every.single.photo! For more, see this post I did last year, and definitely head over to their site for lots more eye candy!

Red Element Design Studio

I am sure you are all glued to your screens devouring these images! This gorgeous Kiawah Island home designed by Rebekah Carter of Red Element Design Studio and photographed by Michael Costa is positively dream-worthy. The Old World European charm mixed with modern touches gives the home a luxurious but laid back look that I am loving. Call me crazy, but I could just eat up all those fabulous windows. What a treat to have French doors in the bedroom opening up to an infinity edge pool overlooking a big pond! Oh my! Read about the home and see more images at Charleston Home + Design! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Sound Beach Partners

So many reason to love this serene Long Island Sound home designed by Sound Beach Partners that was featured in Jan/Feb issue of East Coast Home + Design and photographed by Neil Landino. The calming blue and soft neutrals palette of this water's edge home was intending to evoke a sense of sun, sand and sea. I'm drooling over that amazing kitchen...I love the bell jar pendants above the island and the bay windows are incredible. Actually the windows are incredible all over, aren't they? And the ceilings?! Wow. I adore the yellow drapes in the living room too, especially with the turquoise lamps. To see more images and read about the home head here!

Cullman & Kravis

The portfolio of renowned New York design firm Cullman & Kravis features page after page of beautifully luxurious rooms, filled to the brim with impressive art and antique collections. These more relaxed rooms, with their sand and sun color palettes, captured my heart most. I just can't stop looking at that first room. All of that sun pouring in those amazing windows, the blue chairs, and the fabric on that tufted chair...I wish I could be sitting at that table right now! See more fabulous rooms right over this way!

Day Two: Dream Home Tour

And the tour continues...mouths agape for sure! For me the most striking thing about Cristi's home is the flooring. Absolutely beyond beautiful. It is actually a reclaimed oak that the couple got from a barn back on the east coast. The brick floor in the mudroom is also reclaimed, found by the builder Hatfield Homes. I'm sure you all noticed the colorful barn wood on the wall in the world's most adorable mudroom...yeah, that wood came from the farm Cristi grew up on in Idaho. Being a super sentimental person, that's one her favorite things in the whole house. I would LOVE to do that with the barn wood from my grandparent's farm...how special!

The living room is just something else. I adore the serene color palette, the mix of patterns going on and the subtle nod to the coast. And how incredible is the piano room?! That floor!!! The ceiling is so cool too. It was actually done by their cabinet guy, Benjamin Blackwelder. Just wait until tomorrow when you see the eye candy he cooked up in the kitchen!

If you missed out on Day One of the tour, check it out here! Like yesterday, these beautiful interior photos were taken by the homeowner Cristi and Jessi Safsten...you can see more of their photography at Hiya Papaya!
