It was a little over a year ago that my family and I spent a week on Tybee Island (remember where we stayed...ahhh!). While we were there I had an opportunity to tour Cottage on the Green, this absolutely delightful cottage designed by Jane Coslick! I sure wish my photos did it justice, nothing really captures the joy I felt right after I stepped in the door! Something about Jane's designs
I wish I could be back in Seaside! Fantasea Campe is a beautifully decorated cottage just a few houses down from the beach in the idyllic Florida community. The serene beachy hues and nautical touches give a nod to the coastal setting, but would look just as lovely in any landlocked locale! I wish I knew the paint colors that were used, but I'm getting a strong Sherwin-Williams 'Sea Salt’ vibe!
I can't even fathom having a view like that! Interior designer Cynthia Collins of the Dallas-based firm Collins Interiors and Cronk Duch Architecture made sure the jaw-dropping ocean view took center stage in this incredible Ponte Vedra, Florida home. It's light and bright, filled with great texture and fun pops of color–including beautiful splashes of blue to complement the picturesque
I hope you all enjoyed touring this amazing home all week! I don't think anything could have topped it off quite like an indoor pool! Interior designer Lindy Allen of Four Chairs Furniture and the builder Davies Development proved that beautiful design can go hand in hand with functionality and family fun. Although grand (nearly 14,000 sq ft!), the home still manages to feel comfortable, livable
If I was driving around Nags Head, NC, you can bet I'd stop and take a photo of this cheery turquoise cottage! How fun that we get to actually tour the inside! The Tale of a Mermaid was built around 1953, but received a total renovation a few years back. I love that they kept all the original charm while adding some modern comforts! The cottage's decor definitely reflects its location...the beach
This Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina home by Cortney Bishop Design is an absolute dream!! The West Coast-meets-East Coast vibe is a true reflection of Steve and Lynne Hamontree, a California-raised surfer and his artist wife. (You can spot a lot of her amazing work throughout their home!) My favorite area of the home is the master bedroom and adjacent sitting room. The turquoise grasscloth
I wish we could all take a giant field trip to just go and gawk at all the amazing houses along 30A in Florida! This dreamy coastal home by Borges Brooks Builders is located in WaterSound, just one of the many dreamy communities along the scenic highway. The crisp white planked walls, breezy blue accents (the kitchen–oh my word!), gorgeous fireplace, soaring ceilings, fab light fixtures, windows
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
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

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,
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! The beautiful dining room sets the mood for the rest of the home with it's fresh yet elegant color palette and stunning architectural details. How
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
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. Whether it's to work, play, snack or simply relax, this stunning space (photographed here by Nathan Leduc) has to be the center attraction of the community! What I
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
Anyone else super excited it's Friday?! What I'd give to spend my weekend staying at this dreamy home in southern Spain designed by Malaga and Marbella-based La Albaida Diseño Interior! Unless it was to take a dip in the pool, I don't think you could tear me away from unwinding in that cozy veranda! Love how the big sliding door opens up to the family room and creates one giant living space.
I could spend all day taking in this incredible Florida home by Stofft Cooney Architects (photographed by Lori Hamilton), it's bursting with stunning architectural details! BCB Homes, a Naples-based custom home builder, brought the dream to reality along with AlliKristé, who designed the kitchen and fabulous custom cabinets throughout. I'm not sure what I love more, the bar or the banquette, both
