Serene Country Home

Time to getaway! The color palette of this country home designed by Steven Gambrel gives off such a relaxing vibe. It just feels so quiet...if that's possible! I think the first image is my favorite. The blue and white prints, the lanterns, the window panes...it's all so pretty!

The Turquoise Door

I've always been a little shy of having a window in my doorway...and this goes well beyond a little window. But I LOVE it! The turquoise door just makes it all the more incredible. Of course, this image is from Domino. *sniff sniff*

Serious Coastal Style

Can't you just feel the breeze? This Key West kitchen from Coastal Living is as good as it gets. I love the shutter-inspired wall and island, the painted floors and the beautiful mini-brick mosaic backsplash. What a dream!

Beautiful Girls' Bedroom

This bedroom discovered by Oliveaux is just so beautiful. What lucky girls call this room their own?! The soaring blue walls, pretty pink curtains and beautiful chandelier are all lovely. And I love the mix of prints and colors on the perfectly disheveled bedding too. So cozy and cute!

Perfect.

This deliciously colorful room designed by Scott Weston is everything I dream of in a living room. The shade of turquoise is perfect. The furniture is perfect. The rug is perfect. The shelves and embossed doors? PERFECT!

Best Bathrooms

These lovely bathrooms were included in House Beautiful's list of The Best Bathrooms of 2008. I love the clean white subway tiles next to the pretty Sherwin-Williams Hinting Blue in the first 2 images. The black and white tile looks great too. The last image though...wow...love the spaciousness that is so perfectly paired with Farrow & Ball's Borrowed Light. The tile here is gorgeous too! To see the rest of the bathrooms on the list, go here. Happy weekend everyone! :)

Dream Office

Jennifer of The Magic Brush discovered this drool-worthy office belonging to BrooklynLimestone. Other than my obvious love for Benjamin Moore "Waterfall" on the walls, I ADORE the hand painted birds and branches on the window. The Kartell Louis Ghost Chair, desk and zebra rug are just divine as well. And what a genius idea to frame a peg board. I think I discovered my dream office!

The Eclectic Curio Coffeehouse

I love the eggplant and turquoise interior of The Eclectic Curio Coffeehouse located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Recently opened in December, this coffeehouse not only serves up tasty drinks and treats, but the shop also features unique vintage, retro, and antique items for sale throughout the store. How fun! Check out their etsy shop filled with all sorts of their funky finds.

Cool Kitchen

I'd love to see the rest of this house from Ideal Home! What a cool kitchen. I especially love the industrial stainless-steel worktop and built-in wine rack.

Serenity

Ashley of Decorology included this beautifully cozy bedroom in a recent post dedicated to all things aqua blue. Like her, I'm completely in love (obviously) with serene aqua blues. They just leave me feeling so calm, so GOOD. If you're loving serene blues too, check out her blog here!

Dreaming of Sun and Sand

Last week Daisy Pink Cupcake had a whole post featuring all sorts of coastal chic rooms. Considering the low for today in Minneapolis is -20 (-28 with windchill!), I could use some "coast" right about now! Click here to view even more of Daisy's inspiring rooms!

Just Chillin'

A few days ago Pink Wallpaper had a really cool post about the power of an accent color, using this image and few more to demonstrate. This one was my favorite. I just love the vibe it gives off. That wall is incredible!

A Turquoise Apartment in NYC

This light-filled home belongs to New York party planner Polly Onet, a woman after my own heart. Everything is so bright and fun...including that disco ball! For LOTS more pictures, just head over to New York Social Diary. Thanks Liz!! :)

Bedroom with Personality

I love the choice of colors and mix of prints in this room photographed so perfectly by photographer Mark Lund. Love the wallpaper and bedding especially!

A Little Piece of Green and Blue Heaven

Last week Rebecca from Harmony and Home featured this AMAZING room designed by Hamilton Design Associates. Top ten for sure. The bold blue and green color scheme is so vibrant and happy. And I love all the patterns! But that closet....I want, I want!!

Eye Candy Galore

A few days ago Daisy Pink Cupcake took blogland on a very memorable London House Tour. It was too yummy not share with you guys! We're talking DREAM HOME people. Check out Daisy's blog here for even more colorful images of this amazing home (if your heart can take it!)

Wow!

Fabulous Fireplace

Ok so I can't help it. Here is yet another image from the amazing designer Ami McKay (and there will be more, I'm sure of it). This is my dream fireplace all the way. Seriously, looking at this picture makes me so happy!

Vibrant Office

Domino

How fun is the New York office of designer Celerie Kemble?! That bookcase is just divine. Celerie used colors to make the workspace feel vibrant and alive. Success in every way I'd say!

Vintage with Modern Nursery

What an adorable little nursery! I love the pretty blue wall color (Disney by BEHR "Pooh's Favorite Things") framed in white, and all the pinks and reds floating about. Visit ohdeedoh for more pics and info on this cute little room.
