Summers go by so quickly here in Minnesota, it's really a shame to have such a great outdoor area and not put it to good use! After we had a new sliding door installed this spring (one that actually opens!), we were more determined than ever to fix up our deck! We already had the super comfy outdoor sofa sitting in our basement (an outlet score from a few years ago) and the white dining table/

Oh the homes in WaterColor...they never disappoint! Beautifully built by Borges Brooks Builders, this inviting coastal retreat in the dreamy Florida community is full of character and warmth. Along with all of the great rustic elements, the soothing sand color throughout paired with the splashes of blue give off a relaxing seaside vibe that I'm loving! The open great room is seriously gorgeous,

I was browsing the June issue of HGTV magazine when I came across this lovely home belonging to Katie and Jeff Bullard of Avenue B Development of Austin, Texas. It seemed a little bit familiar...turns out I featured it last year! I hardly recognized it all dolled up by stylist Kate Jordan with beautiful photography by Kim Cornelison! The home was built in 1927, but after a gut reno by the

I can't believe it's been a year since we were in Washington! One of my favorite things about our vacation was spending time by the Puget Sound...it was so beautiful! Because of that I have more than appreciation for this South Puget Sound home designed by BC&J Architects, I wish it were mine! With all of the turquoise and blue accents, I'd feel right at home! Love the sense of whimsy

Beautiful shades of blue are effortlessly combined in this breezy coastal cottage designed by Lisa Stevens & Co. and captured by photographer Robin Stubbert!  Love the relaxed yet chic vibe, great use of natural texture and all the seaside accessories! I just love those crisp navy slipcovers on the dining chairs...they look especially stunning paired with the gorgeous blue cabinet! I

I'm ready to pack everything up and move after seeing this inspiring Los Angeles bungalow designed by Rosa Beltran! The breezy seafoam wall color is the perfect backdrop for this coastal-inspired living/dining room. The fabulous turquoise velvet armchairs already belonged to the client, and I love that the designer not only incorporated them, she used them as the jumping-off point for the room's

I guess it's time to admit I'm completely obsessed with all the amazing homes in Cinnamon Shore, the picturesque beach-front community in Port Aransas, Texas. This fun and fabulous beach house above is called Sea Ya' and it's definitely a dream vacation retreat, perfect for a big group! I love how the designer incorporated unique reclaimed and repurposed pieces; they give the brand new home such

You guys might recognize this one! It's only one of my favorite kitchens ever, designed by Boston-based Katie Rosenfeld Interior Design, and I was thrilled to see it flipping through the June issue of HGTV magazine! I wasn't surprised to learn the homeowner, Amy Lipton, was a trained chef...but I had no idea she runs a cooking school called Joyful Kitchen right of this this fabulous Wellesley, MA

When it came to decorating her own family's home, San Francisco-based interior designer Caitlin Moran went with what she loved, even it it meant breaking some design rules! I just love the results, an eclectic look with beautiful textiles, fun colors, bold artwork and a delightful mix of patterns! The first room with the daybed, the nursery of her nine-month-old twin boys, is my absolute favorite

Style and functionality go hand in hand in this beautiful Suffolk, Virginia dream home by WeldenField & Rowe Custom Homes! I'm in love with the entire home, so perfect for families or entertaining, but it's the first floor that took my breath away!

After Hurricane Sandy completely demolished this family's beloved beach shack in 2012, they turned to Caldwell & Johnson to rebuild their Rhode Island vacation home. Using sustainable building materials and practices, the full-service design-build firm created a new home–one not only built to last, but energy efficient as well. Interior designer Lorine Foley of Lorine Design Services gave the

Have y'all drooled over the June issue of Traditional Home yet?! Oh my word. This WaterColor, Florida home by interior designer Georgia Carlee of GCI Design graces the cover and you aren't alone if it seems a little familiar! This isn't the first home the Santa Rosa Beach designer created for the family; in fact, their previous WaterColor home made the cover of Traditional Home back in 2008 and

I get such a fun, summer vibe from this beautiful beachside home on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California! SC Homes spent ten months building the transitional Cape Cod style home filled with so many great details, I'll definitely be pinning this one for myself! I'm really loving all of the architectural elements–the rustic beams, wainscoting, built-ins, sliding doors...I could go on and on.

I can't believe it's already been five years since I shared that first image! I still love it as much today as I did back then, which is why I was delighted to stumble across the rest of the home located in southern Spain designed by Christine Van Hoecke of Araxan Interiorismo, captured by Masfotogenica Fotografia. Spacious and airy with a view to die for, the stunning bedroom is straight out of

There is just something about a home in the Hamptons that gets me every single time! I fell hard for this shingled-style beauty captured by Brantley Photography and designed by Jack Fhillips Design of New York and Palm Beach. Casual elegance paired with a breezy blue and white palette give the home that quintessential Hamptons look I love so much. The airiness to the home is great too, especially

It's really no wonder that Rachel Reider is one of my favorite designers ever! I am absolutely in love with one of her latest projects–this waterfront condo in downtown Boston filled to the brim with breezy blues, organic patterns and textural finishes! In addition to opening up the floor plan, the designer transformed the home by giving it a city meets seaside vibe. The lacquered kitchen

One of the many things I love about Nantucket is the way the picturesque island respects its past. Kelly Ennis and Val Nehez of the Philadelphia-based architecture and interior design firm Ennis Nehez worked meticulously to preserve the history of this tiny cottage, captured by photographer Sam Oberter. The rustic space is loaded with all the charm and details from yesteryear! How amazing is that

I've been dying to visit Cinnamon Shore, a new planned community (think Seaside, Florida) located on Mustang Island, just off the coast of Corpus Christi in Texas. From the looks of it, it's nothing but beautiful groomed beaches, palm-lined streets, a bustling Town Center, not to mention dreamy homes everywhere you look–including Sea La Vie! This three-story beach-front home is a total dream,

Have you ever seen such a fabulous amenity clubhouse?! Interior designer Leigh Olive Mowry of Olive Interiors created the fun, tropical-inspired space for some lucky residents of a luxury residential development in the Atlanta area.

There are some homes that I know will stay with me forever, and this Kennebunk, Maine home designed by Hurlbutt Designs is definitely one of them! Along with Spang Builders, the design team opened things up and added better functionality to the floor plan. The color palette and fun patterns are my favorite thing about the home! The homeowner fell in love with Thibaut’s Resort Collection when she
