I can't tell you how much I love her work! This San Clemente, California beach house photographed by <a href="http://www.ashleeraubach.com/" target="_blank">Ashlee Raubach</a> is my favorite project in her portfolio. The home's natural surroundings inspired the colors and materials, with a focus on soft muted greens and blues for the textiles and decor. I know it's mostly neutral (they wanted the view to take center stage) but this one is seriously SO unbelievably pretty, I'll be dreaming of it for days!

She also has her own blog, <a href="http://decordeprovence.blogspot.com/">Décor de Provence</a>, where she posts beautiful images, filled with French and Gustavian decor. I just loved this post <a href="http://decordeprovence.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-at-ashworth-home_2101.html">here</a> with pictures of her home decorated for Christmas!<br /><br />The talented photographer behind these images is <a href="http://ashleeraubach.com/">Ashlee Raubach</a>. The detail and light she is able to capture is incredible! I know this home is beautiful on its own, but Ashlee turned it into a work of art! Ashlee also has a <a href="http://ashleeraubachphotography.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, and waiting there are lots more (and bigger, we all love bigger!) images and information on this stunning home.
