Interior Philosophy

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this Watercolor, Florida vacation home photographed by Brian Bieder belonging to Mandy Mayers. Together with Jessica Roan, her friend and business partner in their Atlanta home furnishings shop, Interior Philosophy, the pair lifted colors from the surrounding coastal area when designing the space. It's beachy, but not in the conventional way we're used to seeing on here. Normally I like a lot of color, but there's so much depth here from the mix of textures combined with all the layers of natural elements. The sophisticated pops of gray and turquoise add the perfect amount of contrast. Gosh I love it. To read all about the home, just hop on over to Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles!

Caitlin Creer Interiors

This serene yet fresh and modern living room designed by Caitlin Creer out of Salt Lake City all began with Schumacher's Avebury Floral Vine gracing the pillow on the fab tufted sofa. A perfect complement to Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue at 75% on the walls (one of my favorites)! So many other great details like the the cozy window seat with all the colorful pillows from Etsy, the striking black spool chair and the gorgeous fireplace with its amazing fretwork detail. The gorgeous millwork, mantles, and paneling were all designed by Steve Tiek and built through Tiek Built Homes. Benjamin Blackwelder, who did all the work on that Dream Home Tour you all loved so much, was responsible for the cabinetry and built-ins. What a dream team!

Happy 4th of July!

Just when I didn't think I could love it any more!! Remember the week-long Dream Home Tour we took a couple of weeks ago?? Since those photos were taken, my reader Cristi and her husband Jeff put up shutters painted the same fab color as the door and the garage, Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue. Doesn't it look amazing?! Another round of applause to the builder Morgan Hatfield of Hatfield Homes and Cristi's photography at Hiya Papaya! If you missed the tour, check out all five days starting here.

I'm delighted to be a guest blogger today at two fantastic blogs! The one-and-only Tobi Fairley asked me to put together an "All-American Design" themed post for her, in turquoise of course! Then visit me over at the creative haven DIY by Design where I'm sharing a few of my favorite readers' rooms. Come and say hello!

To all of my readers in America, Happy 4th of July!! I hope you have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend! See you on Tuesday!

Peter Carlsson

I've so been itching to dig around the web for some delicious eye candy!! This Swedish home tour photographed by Peter Carlsson was a real treat...I knew I could count on Hus & Hem! The adorable home built in 1901 was in such great shape when the current owners moved in. Imagine a house that old where the floor, moldings and window frames were all in mint condition! You have to see the rest of the house, including some super cute, colorful kids rooms...so head here!

Jim Howard

I'm so not alone in the blogosphere when it comes to loving this space designed by Jim Howard and photographed by Franscesco Lagnese. House Beautiful actually featured much more of the amazing home, but this romantic bedroom was my absolute favorite. I know this isn't the best photo in the world, so head over here to see more of this gorgeous beach home!

Just a sidenote: we're getting pretty close to the wedding here...16 days to be exact!! (Eek! So exciting!) My posts might be a little more sparse than usual from here on out, and regrettably some emails may be falling through the cracks. I'll make it up to you with wedding photos though, I promise! Actually we just had our engagement photos taken last night. (We waited until the very end, I know, but around here the snow is finally losing its battle against the sun!) And yes, there was turquoise!! :)

Adore and amp; Elsa Soyars

This beach house designed by the talented Elsa Soyars and featured in the latest Adore Home has been floating around the blogosphere, but if it doesn't scream House of Turquoise, I don't know what does! I was so happy to see more of the fabulous home in Elsa's portfolio. I've been a big fan of hers for a while now (see my post here). It's just the way she does beachy chic is so up my alley! I just can't get enough of the neutral colors brought to life with the cheery turquoise. Did you see that kitchen?! I need to wipe the drool off my keyboard here.

Seriously...is there a Hamptons home that I don't like?!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!! I don't know about you, but I need to get some serious shopping done!

Pretty Aqua Kitchen

What a darling kitchen from the February issue of 25 Beautiful Homes! I think what I love most (other than the pretty paint job!) is the fact there is stuff all over the countertops and a dog bowl in the middle of the floor. How refreshing is that?! Anyway, I really want to paint our cabinets now. There's no better instant facelift!
