The home belonging to interior designer Susie Hoffmann of <a href="http://www.envidesign.com/" target="_blank">Envi Design</a> is actually in Bozeman, Montana of all places. She says the area surrounding the converted 1930s flour mill used to be pretty gritty, but is starting to get hipper. "It's kind of like the Brooklyn of Bozeman". She did an awesome job of fusing a kitchen, dining and living rooms, office and even a guest nook into one relatively small space. I love the pops of juicy color everywhere...what a bright and happy home!

Not if you're the DIY genius Cassie of <a href="http://hisugarplum.blogspot.com/2011/06/babygirls-room-reveal.html" target="_blank">Hi Sugarplum</a>, who recently revealed one heck of a makeover on her blog. I absolutely adore this room, <span style="font-style: italic;">everything</span> about it, and I'm sure her young daughter is overjoyed with her new "big girl" space. She has her own art center and little hidden nook in the closet. What child wouldn't love that?! The wall color (<a href="http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/paint_colors/ideas/color/SW6470/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Waterscape</span> by Sherwin Williams</a>) is the perfect background for all the fun color and prints going on. The Parisian themed bedding (Nicole Miller's Fifi Collection) is pretty much the cutest thing ever! What I love most about this room though is that Cassie did a fantastic job chronicling all the DIY projects the room entailed. The fabulous drapes and monogrammed pelmet, the painted bed and highboy, the no-sew pillows, even faux crown molding, and lots of the accessories are all results of Cassie's hard work. You can see tons of photos and read all about each project on <a href="http://hisugarplum.blogspot.com/2011/06/babygirls-room-reveal.html" target="_blank">Hi Sugarplum!</a>....so much inspiration I could burst!!<br /><br />I really want to thank you guys sooooo much for the super-sweet comments you left about our <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/06/wedding-photos-galore.html" target="_blank">wedding photos</a>...it almost felt like our wedding day all over again!!
