BHDM Design







This Westfield, NJ home designed by New York-based duo Brian Humphrey and Dan Mazzarini of BHDM Design is all about the sun and the sand!!! I wouldn't mind kickin' my feet up and spending my summer here that's for sure. I think my favorite is that first image of the mudroom...I love that corner bench and split door! Not to mention the perfectly aqua-hued walls! See more of the home and other very cool interiors over at the BHDM website!

Elizabeth Elsey








You would have to swear this gorgeous home featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and photographed by Mali Azima was the achievement of a renowned designer. Well I was surprised to learn on Verdigris Vie that it was designed entirely by the homeowner, Elizabeth Elsey, a nurse for over 20 years. Not surprisingly, however, is that she is inspired by all the colors of the beach...especially all spectrums of blue, from the water to the sky. Soul sister all the way! I'm just loving the gorgeous dining room. (Walls: Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue over Farrow & Ball Light Blue in custom strié finish. Trim: Benjamin Moore Bavarian Cream.) And the custom hand-painted screen by Raymond Goins is stuff my dreams are made of!! Read all about the home and see more beautiful images over here!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!! Let the summer begin!! :)

Simple and Sweet


Less really is more in these two bedrooms featured in Interiores magazine out of Spain. Nothing takes a room from so-so to sensational better than a little turquoise! That bed in the first picture is incredible....I love it! And how fantastic would it be to have a large sliding glass door like in the second? See more where this came from here!

Retro Swedish Kitchen



After being submersed in turquoise and pink the last few months (our wedding colors), it sure is nice to revisit my first love: turquoise and red. There's no better place to sport this cheery combo than in a vintage-inspired kitchen. I've always thought a checkerboard floor would be so fun! How cool is that old vending machine?? I love that this kitchen is in Sweden too, not America as you would first think. See the rest of this home over on Hus & Hem!

Amazing Grace in Turks & Caicos










I know we barely just got back from our honeymoon, but there's something about taking a trip that just makes you want to go on another one! I certainly wouldn't mind spending my next vacation in Turks & Caicos at this luxury villa named Amazing Grace. The 9,000 square foot private escape is set on 600 secluded feet of white sand beachfront. 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms...I'm thinking a mini turquoise-lovers convention. If anyone could truly appreciate those beautiful shutters, it's us! Not to mention the tastefully decorated interiors, the crystal clear pool and the lovely terrace looking over the sparkling turquoise ocean. Read all about this fab villa here - including rates that I won't share here...day dreaming is too much fun!

Shine by S.H.O. & Giveaway Winner!






How much love can I shine on this home belonging to Susan Hornbeak-Ortiz, owner of Shine by S.H.O.?! I've seen pieces from her fabulous collection before (the most glorious turquoise sofa comes to mind immediately), so it was really fun to see her home featured over on Delight by Design. Its perfectly neutral palette acts as a canvas on which the designer can explore and grow. Susan actually uses her home as her laboratory...for how her designs look, and with four kids, how functional they are and how well they wear. Many of the fab pieces you see here can actually be bought through her store here. And you can read her inspiring story and see more photos over at Angeleno Interiors!

Now it's time to announce the lucky winner of the La Posh Style dress giveaway!

Congrats my dear! And to everyone else, have a wonderful spring weekend! :)

Muse Interiors










A feast for the eyes!! Thanks to COCOCOZY, I was reminded of designer Lauren Muse of Muse Interiors out of Greenwich, CT. Many of you may already know that she was the design talent behind The Zhush's home, which was recently featured in Connecticut Cottages and Gardens. (Several of the above photos are from that spread, photographed so beautifully by John Bessler.) I am officially obsessed here. I wish I could have posted every single photo from Lauren's portfolio, they are all this incredible. The perfect amount of pattern, color, texture...all expertly woven together to make some of the freshest, most serene spaces I've come across. And to top it off, I hear she's as sweet as she is talented! Head on over to her portfolio for lots more where this came from!

Don't forget, today is the last day to enter the La Posh Style giveaway! I'll be announcing the lucky winner tomorrow!

Urban Grace Interiors






What a fantastic kitchen! Designed by Erika Powell of Urban Grace Interiors, I think it's the symmetry here that is really appealing to me. Not only gorgeous, the room is so versatile and family friendly too. I love that it's its own space, yet connected to the other rooms with the windows. In case you haven't been stalking Erika's blog for years like me, definitely check it out here, and see more of her work on her website!
