La Samanna Villas

Wow! You guys gave us some amazing ideas yesterday!! Thanks a million for all of your feedback, we so appreciate it! So many of you said how incredible the Caribbean is. I'd die, I swear to you, being somewhere like the La Samanna Villas on the island of St Martin. The extraordinary view of the Caribbean Sea would be the end of me! Not only is the view breathtaking, but the interiors designed by Marc Michaels are so elegantly comfortable, I can't believe it's not someone's home. I love how our favorite color is paired with oranges, reds, pinks and greens...for "a true Caribbean spirit"! If that is the spirit of the Caribbean, I'm so there!

Miles Redd + The Winner!

I have to admit I never picked up an issue of Town & Country until Stephen Drucker took over. Not sure what it was like before, but his first issue impressed me. This Atlanta home designed by color genius Miles Redd and photographed by Francesco Lagnese is opulence at its finest. The living room?? The walls are covered in stretched turquoise silk satin. The dressing room? Hand painted de Gournay wallaper. And the breathtaking bedroom floor?? Oscar de la Renta leopard-print carpet. I love the fashion sketches in the bathroom covering the platinum blue Boussac Tarentelle wallpaper too. Oh the other half!

Time to announce the lucky winner of the Candace Rose giveaway!

Tyler of Tyler's Taste Tests!!!

And with that happy news, I'm going to turn off my computer and get ready for my trip to New York! I leave tomorrow morning and will be gone 10 whole days. Yay! I asked some of my favorite bloggers to entertain and inspire us with their favorite turquoise spaces. You'll love it. In addition, you can still check out Everything Turquoise...I have 50 posts scheduled on there! ;)

John Willey...and Your Help!

"Life's too short for an all-beige room." I couldn't agree more with John Willey of Willey Design LLC who designed this amazing Hamptons home featured in this month's issue of East Coast Home + Design and photographed by David Jacquot. I love the personality of the entire space...it's sophisticated, but fun-loving and comfy too. You really can't go wrong with Mother Nature's beachy color palette, sunshine and all!

If you guys were reading along a year ago, you may remember last November Chris and I actually took a trip out east to the Hamptons and NYC. You guys gave us so many fantastic ideas of what to see and where to go, we had such a blast. Well we've decided to return again this year, but for 10 days. So in a few short weeks that's where I'll be! You don't even know how excited I am. I just have to ask you guys again, since I have a lot of new readers now, do you have any recommendations?? Where to stay, eat, play, etc? We're hoping to spend 5 days on Long Island around the Hamptons (with a car), and 5 in Manhattan (with good shoes). Plenty of time to see and do a whole lot! Thanks in advance you guys, I can't wait to hear what you have to say! Oh and if you want to email me any advice too, please feel free! :) THANK YOU!

Jamie Herzlinger

So luxurious! I wouldn't mind being a guest in either of these two rooms designed by Jamie Herzlinger, a talented interior designer with offices in both Scottsdale, Arizona and New York City. The patterned walls and carpeting are such a treat for the eyes! And I'm in love with that chic tufted headboard. You definitely want to see the more from Jamie's portfolio, it's filled with the most elegant, sophisticated rooms!

Tara Seawright

There's so much to love in this cheery Shelter Island home designed by Manhattan-based interior designer Tara Seawright and featured in Hamptons Cottages and Gardens. The serene and beachy color palette of the master bedroom is just perfect. How about the peacock blue library just off of it with the comfy sectional...what an escape! And did you spot the leather hippo footstool in the study?! Parents rest their feet or kids take a little ride...I love it!

Bridgehampton Beauty

When I get to peek inside a home in the Hamptons, I know it's going to be a good day. And to think most aren't even filled with my favorite color, as this shingle-style home in Bridgehampton is! The home and its owner Todd Rome, president of Blue Star Jets, were recently profiled in 27east. Although their primary residence is a townhouse on the Upper East Side, Todd and his wife Vanessa (who decorated the home) and their 4 children spend their summers here. I think my favorite room is the kitchen...those lanterns are so cool! You can read more and see all the pictures of this fabulous home here!

Let the countdown begin...today is the last day to enter my giveaway before I turn 30! I'll announce the lucky winner tomorrow morning! Good luck!

Janet Simon

These bedrooms from the portfolio of New Jersey designer Janet Simon are nothing short of beautiful! The rooms are so serene, perfect for unwinding after a long day. That first bedroom in particular is completely stunning...my gosh look at those windows! I LOVE the headboard and bedskirt fabric in the last image too. Have a look at her portfolio here, the living spaces are equally as beautiful!

Timothy Mather

I know you've seen (and loved) this incredible kitchen with the painted ceiling, but I wanted to make sure you see more work from the mind behind it! Timothy Mather of TM Design Ltd was born in England, and educated in Zimbabwe and Canada. He spent 10 years in a successful fashion career before he continued his education in interior design. I can't get enough of the punchy green and turquoise going on in the first room, those drapes are my favorite! But that kitchen...I could look at it all day long! See more of his work here (make sure to check out the new stuff!)
