This adorable home designed by <a href="http://melaniemartininteriors.com/" target="_blank">Melanie Martin</a> and <a href="http://patonealinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Pat O'Neal</a> is located in <a href="http://cottagesatromar.com/" target="_blank">The Cottages at Romar</a>, a brand new private coastal community in Orange Beach. The serene palette is so relaxing and echoes the white sand beaches and sea outside! I'm absolutely loving that kitchen...the cabinets are dreamy!! The turquoise chandelier is fab too, of course!

Kim Wilson of <a href="http://www.sandandsisal.com/2012/05/laundry-room-makeover.html" target="_blank">Sand & Sisal</a> decided that since she had to spend so much of her time doing laundry ("with two messy teen girls, two dirty, sweaty, little boys, a hubs who never unrolls his gym socks!" Ha!!), then her laundry room had to at least be beautiful! She did a stellar job on the makeover, don't you think?? She used one of my favorite paint colors on the walls–<a href="http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6211-rainwashed/" target="_blank">"Rainwashed" by Sherwin Williams</a>. I especially love it next to the fresh white beadboard ceiling and crown molding that they installed. The sorting station is absolutely genius too!!
