Carrie Raphael
I fell hard for this Victorian farmhouse in Maryland belonging to designer Carrie Raphael when I spotted it onSimply Seleta. I just love the Swedish style used here. There are so many great details...the painted floor, slipcovers, the benches, the church window...love it all. You can check out more images from this home onCountry Living, and be sure to check out Carrie Raphael's site for lots more Victorian inspiration, and to see her collection of custom designed, vintage inspired pieces for sale.

Oh So Pretty
The painted shelves in this dining room photographed by Donna Griffith really highlight the beautiful collection of white dishes. I can't even imagine how boring it would look if it was just painted white. The loveliness is only heightened with the matching blue chairs. So pretty!THURSDAY, JULY 23, 2009
Robin's Egg for All
Maybe it's just me, but I think pretty much any room is 10 times prettier with a shade of robin's egg blue on the wall. I love the combinations of blues, paired with the bright greens in these photographs by Eric Roth. All so cheerful and relaxed! The top image is my fav though. I love the white built-ins showing off those great collections. And the blue furniture. Love turquoise and blue together.And thank you so much everyone for all your nice comments yesterday. You guys made my day even better than it already was! :)

Turquoise + Chartreuse = FAB!
The Glam Lamb just had a whole post dedicated to chartreuse and turquoise. You all know how much I love my blue and green, so of course I ate it right up. Head over here to check out more fabulous images!THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2009
Coastal Gems
It's always a good day when you get to see some work by Jane Coslick! One day I'm going to head to Tybee Island and check out all of these delightful cottages. Did you know that you can rent out one of Jane's very own cottages?99 Steps from the Beach (first several images above) was actually the first cottage that Jane bought on Tybee. The adorable 625-square-foot oceanfront home can be yours for 2 nights, a week, or an entire season! What a true beach experience, porch hammock and all. (See more of my posts on Jane Coslick here, here and here....loveher!)WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2009
Summer Fun
Such fun, summery rooms captured by photographer Francesco Lagnese. I imagine a very fun day begins with a breakfast at that colorful nook! Love those light fixtures!TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2009
Light and Lovely
I can't get enough of the light streaming in and the pretty colors of these 2 beautiful photographs. The top one of a was taken by photographer Michael Luppino, and the bottom one by Gridley + Graves. Both so simple, but so pretty. The touches of yellow in the top image are really standing out for me, along with the collection of mirrors above the fireplace. So lovely!MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009
Dining in Style
I was so excited to learn about DC designer Sally Steponkus through My Notting Hill. Aren't these dining rooms just beautiful?? The chairs are altogether gorgeous if you ask me. And I LOVE the wallpaper in the last image. Along with the chairs. The chairs!

Flirty and Feminine
I know a lot of other blogs have posted images from this Manhattan town house designed by Jonathan Berger and featured in this month's House Beautiful, but I couldn't resist posting these 2 images. Not surprisingly, this is an all-girl household (you have to check out all the hot pink in the other rooms!). I adore the hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper in the living room. And how fun are the French chairs in the dining room covered in blue leather with pink-dyed cowhide backs?? You must head over to House Beautiful to see the slideshow of the rest of the home!

Steven Gambrel
How fab is this oceanside modernist home designed by Steven Gambrel? The windows are to-die-for! You gotta check out his portfolio for more images of this home (yes, more!). I love all the texture and fabrics used..each room offers up a feast for the eyes. I just have to wonder how huge this house is...there are so many rooms!
