Interior designer Linda Woodrum was inspired by the Florida coast and how beautiful the water was. “It’s the ultimate spa retreat. The colors are directly related to the glorious water of the local beaches and this suite really takes you away. It feels peaceful and relaxed but definitely sophisticated in a wonderfully casual way.” I'd agree that is precisely what is does! What a DREAM Green home!! Check out <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/green-home/index.html" target="_blank">HGTV</a> for tons more glorious images of this home, including virtual tours and all the info you'd ever need on each room.<br /><br />I wish you all the joys of spring this Easter weekend! :)

While the second image is a pretty realistically sized kitchen for me, I can't help but dream of having a kitchen the size of the first image. Imagine all the cookies I could bake! LOVE that island!
