JAC Interiors










Although this fabulous room was designed for a 12-year-old girl, I would be so happy calling it my own! Jane Cowen Hamilton, Andrea Putman and Christine Thompson of JAC Interiors out of Los Angeles, California created the space photographed by Alexandra DeFurio with the perfect combination of style and sweetness. I wish I knew the exact color on the walls, but it was a custom mix. I can tell you the gorgeous paisley wallpaper is Nizam by Osborne and Little though...I LOVE it! Oh pink and turquoise, you never fail to make my heart sing! Lots more design inspiration awaits, just head on over here for plenty more where this came from!

Custom Pet Portait GIVEAWAY!














We're starting off the week right with a kitchen reno that is bright, cheerful and budget-friendly like no other! Lesli DeVito of the inspiring blog My Old Country House recently finished up a two-year facelift on her beautiful kitchen. (Remember her living room?? Equally as delightful!) We're talking new countertops, appliances, hardware, tile, cabinet doors and drawer fronts...and a lot of hard work on Lesli's part! I am loving all the pretty color here, especially Benjamin Moore's "Gossamer Blue" on the island and in the cabinets! And how about those those yummy marble countertops?! They actually aren't even marble...they are Formica! You can read all about that and lots more (like how she saved a ton of money!) over at her blog!


Not only is Lesli one hard-working and creative DIYer, she is also one heck of an artist! I've shared with you guys some of her adorable animal portraits before, but did you know she also does custom pet portraits too?? Well I do, because she actually created one for me a couple years ago and oh how I treasure it! (My little Kismet has grown some, but she's just as cute!)


Which brings me to the giveaway!! Lesli DeVito has generously offered to paint a custom pet portrait for one of my lucky pet-loving readers! The winner will receive a 16"x16" custom painting (worth $390) of their own special furry one. And if you need another reason to smile, here are more examples of Lesli's work:



To Enter:
  1. Leave a comment telling me about the pet you would love to have painted and what your favorite background color is! (Email subscribers just hit Reply!) Please be sure to leave your email address if you are commenting anonymously so I can contact you if you're the winner!
  2. For an additional entry, "Like" My Old Country House on Facebook, then leave a separate comment saying that you did!

Birds of a Feather Design














I can always count on Hooper Patterson and Ann White Schutte of Birds of a Feather Design for a breathtaking transformation! The designing duo out of Wilmington, North Carolina took a drab, awkward kitchen and turned it into a coastal oasis of serene color and smart functionality! The new space was inspired by the fabulous modern sea glass backsplash tile. I love how they pulled the blue out and painted the island Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue! Trust me, you do not want to miss the 'before' photos of this space, so head on over to Birds of a Feather for lots more on this dream kitchen!

Before you go though, better check to see if you're the winner of the $100 gift certificate to Layla Grayce!!

The lucky winner is...

Have a great weekend everyone!! The temps are finally starting to warm up here in Minnesota and I couldn't be happier! :)

Tiffany McWhorter













Coastal Living served up major eye candy in their latest issue with this darling Bald Head Island, North Carolina beach cottage belonging to Fred and Tiffany McWhorter, photographed here by Tria Giovan! Buying the home was a dream come true for the couple, who had to renovate (and use a lot of white paint!) to get things looking this dreamy! Fred is a home remodeler, and Tiffany a home decor shop owner, so you know they put a lot of love in this project! I love all of the blue/green accents and beachy touches throughout! The style was actually all inspired by the stunning glass-and-seashell chandelier custom made by North Carolina artist Louise Gaskill. Just beautiful! Read more about the home over here, watch a neat video tour with dramatic before and after photos here, and visit Tiffany's coastal decor store Room Service!

Lisa Barnes + Heidi Smith
































You what I love?? COLOR! So you know I'm really loving this home belonging to Lisa Barnes, who along with her interior designer sister Heidi Smith out of Saratoga Springs, Utah, transformed her new, ho-hum abode into a cheerful space with tons of personality! Not only is it stylish, it's also totally budget-friendly! Lisa scored a ton of great furniture from thrift stores, classifieds and Craigslist, and revamped them with paint or new fabric. Trips to Ikea, Pier 1 and Target filled in the rest. My favorite thing in the entire home is the fabulous yellow chair reupholstered in the sunny suzani print...love the turquoise button tufting and trim! The mason jar chandelier from Etsy is brilliant too! For more photos by Michelle Wellington and source info, visit Heidi's blog Budget Wise Home!
