I'm guessing most of my reader's receive or purchase Elle Decor. I've been smitten with June's issue all week. It's the best I've seen from them in a while!! If you haven't seen this month's issue. Here's a peek. Enjoy and happy Memorial Day weekend.{I can't tell you how thrilled I am that Summer is just around the corner} These are all summer homes mind you. I'd love to reside in any of these spaces YEAR round!


I love the graphic qualities of pattern and color in this home!

Southhampton {as well}

On the opposite spectrum from the above home. I equally love the

use of natural color and materials in this home!

I would have to agree with Kelly's Moma NYC block favorite. See Wedneday's post.

I was inspired by this great poster above. I ordered the one below for my little guy's room.

I may frame it with either a turquoise or orange matte and a white Ikea frame.

More available via The Poster Corner. The paper quality is great!

How adorable is Pia Jane Bijkerk's new book on French artist's handmade crafts. Also find tips on where to discover them throughout Paris!

Dream House Inspiration...

If you're a regular reader of my blog, I'm sure you'll recall my multiple mentions of the desire to someday build a home. I of course have a "dream house style file" that I add to on a weekly basis.. Maybe I'm onto something, how does a weekly What's in the D.H. Style file post sound? In any case, I came across the beautiful creations of Backen Gilliam Architects via Under a Paper Moon. {a fabulous blog} last week. I love the clean style, farm house inspiration, and welcoming facades. I do want a bright and airy home, so I may have to tweak some of the covered porches a bit. Enjoy!

The children's club house. Can you imagine? Go outside to the clubhouse kids!

I want my own clubhouse.
