Polly Eltes



Just a beautiful photo to start off the week! I love this image captured by photographer Polly Eltes that I found on Redonline. The scrumptious teal just pops right out against that neutral, natural background! Love all the texture here too!

I'm having such an amazing time at here the Design Bloggers Conference! Today was the first day and I can't believe how much I've learned. But the best part is definitely meeting all of the talented, inspiring people! I'm in heaven!!!

Garrison Hullinger




There's so much to love in this kitchen designed by Garrison Hullinger out of Portland, Oregon. The cabinets painted Benjamin Moore HC-120 Van Alen Green are just so, so pretty. The colorful suzani rug, the narrow island, the La Cornue range and oh-my-word that chandelier are all just the mouth-watering icing on top! Check out more of this 1901 remodeled home over here!

I'm so happy it's Friday, which means it's time to head to sunny California for the Design Bloggers Conference! I couldn't be more excited to meet and learn from all of the talented people attending and speaking...it's going to be such a great experience! (Plus I hear they don't have snow in LA!) I won't be back until Wednesday night, but hopefully I'll find some time to sneak in some posts while away! Have a great weekend guys!

Flamenco Nursery!





You all already know how much I adore the Flamenco Shower Curtain, which is why I'm so excited to share this adorable nursery designed by Jill Keebler out of Raleigh, NC. After seeing it on my blog, Jill went out and purchased two of the them for her new nursery to use as window coverings. Aren't they something else with the light shining through?! *sigh* They look fabulous next to the walls (Colorwheel 2104M Swandive) and the tier cascade chandelier. I love all the artwork she found on Etsy too, and the hand-painted letters she made herself! Brady certainly is a lucky little guy!!

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 of Marshall Clements 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!

Steven Gambrel







Would you ever guess that blue is the favorite color of the owner of this home?! Featured in Elle Decor and photographed by Simon Upton, the designer Steven Gambrel describes the casually elegant decor as an "ode to an English country house with a fresh take". I'm just loving the guest room here. Sorry, but if I was a staying over you'd have a hard time kicking me out! Same goes with the dreamy kitchen...I'm saving that image for my "one day!" file. Love! Read more about the space right on over here!

The Cross Boutique London


I adore this feminine bathroom featured in Casaviva magazine photographed by Winfried Heinze. The pretty space belongs to Sarah O'Keefe, one of the owners of the London boutique The Cross. Have any of you ever stopped in there, or their new home and interior shop "Cross the Road"? (Love that!) If it's anything like this bathroom, I'm so there the next time I'm in London! The ornate mirror and painted tub are fab-u-lous!!

Jeffrey Fisher Home







I'm delighted to share these rooms designed by Toronto-based Jeffrey Fisher Home and photographed so beautifully by Virginia MacDonald. The brother and sister team of Jeffrey and Deborah Fisher have the benefit of a unique background, her a career in advertising and Jeffrey in fashion design, that gives them a sophisticated and creative perspective. I'm captivated by every single itty bitty inch of that light-filled kitchen! And the addition of the coral in the dining room...yummy! To check out more of their interiors, head on over here!

Armelle Studio






Do you guys remember little Norah's nursery?? One of my ALL-TIME favorites ever?! The design genius behind it and this gorgeous studio is jewelry designer Caroline of Armelle Jewelry. Schumacher's Birds and Butterflies wallpaper is a match made in heaven with her stained concrete floor. (Wouldn't you love to do that in your basement?!) I absolutely adore the white armoire she lovingly painted too, and how the inside is painted Robins Nest by Benjamin Moore to match the floors. Read all about these projects and more over on her blog!

Amy Bergman & Linda MacArthur








And yesterday was supposed to be all about the love?! Thanks, Traditional Home and photographer Emily Followill, my heart can't handle this!! Interior designer Amy Bergman and her husband Bret teamed up with architect Linda MacArthur to build their dream home in Atlanta. A haven for the busy family, the soft color scheme of taupes and pale blues throughout the home is soothing and harmonious. How fabulous is that scalloped stair wall following the curved lines of the upholstered banquette?! And those tufted dining chairs?! And that bathtub with the arched marble backsplash?! *sigh* See lots more here!

Happy Valentine's Day!!




I hope you're all feeling the l-o-v-e today!! I've shared this room designed by Diane Bergeron before, it's one of my favorites, but I really couldn't think of a more perfect photo for the day! Don't you love the extra color from the piping and trim, all the pillows covered in Rubie Green "East Village" fabric, and that cute Love poster?! (Anyone have info on that?) The bedroom actually belongs to Diane's daughter in their Melbourne home...what a lucky girl!

I'm so excited for my very first (and only!) Valentine's Day as an engaged girl! Happy V-Day, Chris, I can't wait to celebrate! I wish you all a wonderful, love-filled day as well! <3

Edit: Thanks to Chelsea from This Fresh Fossil for giving us info on the Love design! It was designed by Alexander Girar, a 20th century artist and modern design master. What's even cooler is that if you head to How About Orange, you can download the iconic design for your desktop wallpaper!

Harlequin's Anoushka Collection











Get out of town! The new Anoushka collection from Harlequin is positively straight out of my dreams!!
Its provocative patterns and powerful colour palette have been cleverly planned to work together in a glorious bohemian fusion, deliberately clashing and harmonising at the same time. The overall aura of the collection is embracing and welcoming, aimed at creating a nurturing home.
Just looking at these images is curing the dreariness of winter (ok...almost) and getting me in the mood for spring. So eye-catching and flamboyant, I love it all! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Edit: If you're located in the US, Sea Green Designs carries the fabric! Yay!
