Room of the week!

I'll keep this short and sweet. It's been a busy, busy week! I love this built in child's room by Christopher Peacock! I can't think of a child who wouldn't love love to live in this room. {the beds may be tricky to make though}! I'm off to Nantucket tomorrow! Be back on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Beach Bungalow

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I'm having trouble focusing on work today. It's especially difficult after spending the weekend on the water south of Boston. It's amazing what a beautiful view and the smell of salt air can do for the soul. This is my favorite time of year. I can only dream of having a little bungalow on the water someday. I don't need a big house,  just one near the ocean. I love this fresh, crisp bungalow featured in Architectural Digest. The white walls, sculptural furniture choices and limited color palette are beautiful, notice all the amazing rug choices! I love each and every one! Happy Summer!! Happy Tuesday! Good luck getting back to work.

Perfect

for me anyway. Remember this post? I'm sure you haven't been losing sleep wondering about my "new" fragrance choice but I thought I'd share it. I purchased Tocca's Colette. It's Tocca's newest scent. It smells fresh, but slightly sweet + spicy. I also love their feminine bottles. My good friend just ran out and bought a bottle herself! I hope they come out with a body cream because the smell does fade over the course of the day!

I think I need

THIS!

honestly, I'd wear it with white jeans or shorts all summer long! I'm into investing in a few amazing pieces a season, instead of spending the same amount of money on a bunch of "so-so things"!

Emerson Made looks so fabulous lately.

Happy 4th! What's not to love?

I love July 4th! {and the 3rd for that matter}. I was lucky enough to grow up on the ocean,  so the July 4th celebration always began with bonfires, cookouts and fireworks on the beach, July 3rd! The 4th has been my favorite holiday since I was in high school! Enjoy! I've decided to hang out in my home town this year!

Inspired = Lyford Cay Club - Bahamas

I'm smitten with Tom Scheerer's design for the Lyford Cay Club. It delivers so many wonderful elements; pagoda designs, grass cloth, faux bamboo, corals, pink, yellow and chocolate, antique mirrors. etc. etc. Most of Tom's designs use these materials. His work is amazing.
I'm not sure I'll ever make  it past the pink entry gates, but a girl can dream right? A little beach shack in the Bahamas would do. {see Tom's home here - I am in love with this casual beauty}

How amazing is this tented dining area?

And the Lyford Cay inspired Pagoda print by Quadrille {of course}

Room of the week 6.28

It is absolutely gorgeous in Boston today. I love and enjoy every minute of this time of year. 

I'm especially inspired by the shades of summer right now! The image above reminded me of the colors and textures of drift wood and sand. This dining room pulls off a casually, sophisticated look. The chairs, pendants and table all work so well together. Love it.

Inspired - Wood Ceilings

I love the warmth wood ceilings add to a home. I am especially drawn to lighter shades of wood. It's so important not to forget your "fifth" elevation when designing a room! I always address the ceilings when working on client projects.



I love Lee Kleinhelter's simple, graphic spaces. I wonder if she'll be relocating from her city dwellings anytime soon, I always enjoy seeing her latest projects!



Isn't this ceiling gorgeous? House Beautiful

Painting the wood white creates a crisp and clean look!

I am by no means overly preppy. {although there is nothing wrong with that}  I do love nautically inspired fashion and rooms! Tis' the season I guess! 

Am I Mad?

I am currently loving Pink Sofas!! {esp. pale pink}

I especially love pink mixed with tan, cream and gold!! Amazing.
