Can you believe July is already over?! Oh how I wish I was spending the rest of the summer at this waterside Muskoka, Ontario cottage by Lischkoff Design Planning captured beautifully by photographer Michelle Peek! Talk about the most perfect place to unwind! I love the way the colors of nature are echoed inside, the natural elements, tons of light flowing in...and I know there has to be a

What a fun, vibrant bedroom! Little Rock, Arkansas interior designer Lindsey Binz created this inspiring space, photographed here by Karen Segrave, for a creative teenager who wanted a modern look with bright colors. The fish artwork (created by the client!) was the jumping-off point for the the colors of the room. I'm in love with the wall color–Sherwin-Williams Cay SW 6772. It looks fantastic

If you're looking for an adventure, The Firefly might be up your alley! The small five-room eco bed & breakfast on Bastimentos island in Bocas Del Toro, Panama sits directly on the Caribbean. With its boho chic, surf-beach house vibe and splashes of turquoise, I think it would be the perfect place to get away from it all! It's geared towards those who love the outdoors, a local experience and

The fresh, cheery palette of this Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home built by Schell Brothers had me at hello! The breezy blue throughout (Sherwin-Williams "Watery" SW6478) is the perfect backdrop for the bright pops of colors and fun mix of patterns! I'm especially loving the wide open great room with all those windows, built-ins, stone fireplace, and great floral rug! But the dining room is great

If I could move into any home by Blackband Design, I would in a heartbeat! Just steps away from the ocean in Newport Beach, California, this incredible home might by my first choice! The dreamy home was built by Graystone Custom Builders and beautifully captured by photographer Tessa Neustadt. I just don't know where to begin! The neutral tones and layers of texture are the perfect complement to

How fantastic is this?! Chair 5 Beach Bistro & Bar is the signature restaurant at The Break–the brand new boutique hotel in Narragansett, Rhode Island. (You may remember my post about it here!) The bistro features hand-crafted, locally sourced and seasonally inspired menus, but it was the incredible decor by Digs Design Company that completely captivated me! Isn't the wavy ceiling treatment

I love way the coral accents catch the eye in this San Diego home by AGK Design Studio! The light and airy blue paint color throughout (Salt Water 8591W from Frazee) gives the illusion of sky and allows the cheery hues and crisp white furniture to pop! The turquoise and lime bedroom is my absolute favorite, definitely a room I'd love to call my own! The canopy bed is fabulous and I just love the

There's not much I love more than a white kitchen with a turquoise backsplash; throw a turquoise island into the mix and I'm goner! This spacious Kansas City kitchen by Profile Cabinet and Design (photographed by Matt Koucerek) is as functional as it is beautiful! The island is so great...tons of storage, a microwave, and lots of seating, not to mention the graceful furniture legs and dreamy

I can't imagine anything more beautiful to admire on a Monday morning! This slice of turquoise paradise comes from Kate Jackson, a Rhode Island interior designer whose work I have admired for a very long time! Photographed by Nat Rea, this shingle-style beach house located in Providence ranks right up there with one of my most favorite homes of all time. All of the varying shades of blue layered

I've been dying to share this incredible home with you! The 2015 Coastal Virginia Magazine Idea House built by Stephen Alexander Homes & Neighborhoods is located in Virginia Beach, just two blocks from the ocean. A little bit Virgina Beach, a little bit Nantucket, the dreamy idea home (photographed here by Jonathan Edwards) is filled with a soft palette of sand and aqua blue that feels so

I don't think I've managed to pick my jaw up off the floor since I first laid eyes on this absolutely gorgeous bathroom by Shophouse Design captured by photographer Kyle Born! That wallpaper!! It's Fontainebleau from Cole & Son and it is fab-u-less. Those colors, the pattern...it seriously takes my breath away! The lighting, tile, vanity, hardware and mirror are really beautiful as well. Love

A couple years ago I posted one of my favorite home tours, a fabulous Montgomery, Alabama home belonging to the super creative and awesomely talented Ashley and Jamin Mills–writers of one of my very favorite blogs The Handmade Home. In the last two years they've made so many fun changes to their home I thought it was about time we took another tour! The master bedroom and bathroom saw the biggest

A gorgeous laundry room like this one by Ashley Winn Design has to be the ultimate luxury! Just having that much space is a dream...I can't imagine having all that fantastic storage! Love the little counter area perfect for crafts or homework, beautiful tile, lighting, beams, open shelving, and of course the serene cabinet color! Oh and how fun is that coral sliding door?! Seriously such a dream

Don't you love a fun model home?! Austin-based Michelle Thomas Design created an inspiring, colorful design for Pacesetter Homes to show off their model in Rio Ancho Ranch, a new community in the rolling hills of Liberty Hill, Texas. I'm loving the turquoise and lime palette throughout and how the fun color really pops out on the neutral background! The beams on the ceiling are a great rustic

The local motto "where the mountains meet the sea" was the inspiration behind the recent renovation of Whitehall–a boutique hotel in Camden, Maine, designed by Boston-based Rachel Reider Interiors. I love how the designer incorporated lots of natural elements like grasscloth, weathered woods, aged metals, barn board and rope. And did you notice the incredible runner going up the stairs? It's by

You guys know I'm gaga over turquoise and pink! Imagine my delight when I saw this bedroom and bathroom by Cristi Holcombe...it was love at first sight! The talented Atlanta-based interior designer created the space (photographed here by Christina Wedge) for an 11-year-old girl, who I know will appreciate the design for a very long time to come. I can't decide what I love more...the fab mix of

This airy coastal Cape Cod cottage by Patriot Builders is such a delight! You just can't go wrong with a breezy blue and white color scheme in a beach house! What I'm really loving though is the attention to detail here. The compass rose stenciled on each step of the ladder, the sand dollar curtain tie-backs, starfish accents on the bathroom hardware, the turquoise mason jars for bathroom storage

I am feeling super inspired today...this has to be one of my favorite kitchens ever! The bright and cheery space belongs to Hayley Crouse of Welcome to the Mouse House and Mouse House Creations. She recently shared her kitchen remodel on her blog and I am IN LOVE with every single detail! The shimmery turquoise backsplash (that she found on Craigslist!!), fabulous capiz chandelier, big farmhouse

The all-white palette of this home by Christopher's Home Furnishings of Nantucket feels bright and airy, but it's the turquoise that gives it personality! It really doesn't take much, just some beautiful artwork, pretty throw pillows, and perfectly placed accents! Love how all the different textures from the flooring, sheers, rugs, and chairs add a ton of interest and warmth to the clean,

Just popping in to wish you all here in the US a fantastic 4th of July weekend! We are still up in northern Minnesota at the cabin, but I've been saving these pictures for so long, knowing they'd be perfect to share for the fourth! This adorable coastal home is in Seabrook, Washington...and from the looks of it, the picturesque community has one heck of an old-fashioned Independence Day
