I could literally spend all day reading Scandinavian blogs, hopping endlessly from one to another. Yesterday I discovered the dreamy gem
Cecilies Lykke, where the Norwegian blogger Cecilie fed my soul with her beautiful, enchanting photography. I adore her home filled with pretty pastels and soothing whites (in true Scandinavian style!) Her charming bedroom above is a finalist in the "Summer Paradise" challenge over at
NIB. Love the original turquoise wallpaper, breezy sheer curtains and colorful glass bottles catching the summer light. Paradise indeed! Visit
here for more!
Thanks for all the get well wishes yesterday, you guys are so sweet! They worked their magic and I'm feeling much better...just in time for the weekend! (Seriously, how often does that happen?!) Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)

I have always been a big fan of the color turquoise which is why I was so excited to guest blog for Erin of The House of Turquoise. I love that this site is devoted entirely to one of my favorite colors. The variations of what exactly the color turquoise is, is what makes this color so fun. Aqua, sea foam blue, teal..there are endless possibilities. Which is why I find that turquoise is almost as neutral of a color as it is an accent color.
The guest room in my house is off the garden and pool so several years ago I decided that a complimentary theme for the indoor/ outdoor feeling would be a room with turquoise accents.
Inspiration from textiles and embroideries helped me choose the decor palette.
I wanted the room to feel restful but also evoke the idea of vacation. I had some old vintage wallpaper that I hung inside the panel molding and then realized that I must like this look.. I had this vintage lace dress that reminded me once again how close fashion and home decor are. The color of both the paper and the dress were perfect.
I then added more to the turquoise theme with an old vanity.. love this color blue as a stronger accent in the room.
The
bedding and textiles are from a collection I designed and fit perfectly into the overall look. Everyone who stays here always wants to stay longer. There is something about the color and its smooth relationship to the outside elements that makes the room dreamy and comforting.
More of Annette Tatum's inspirations can be found on her design blog, and in her book, The Well-Dressed Home. Browse Annette's Home Decor Collections at AnnetteTatum.com. This week only, use code "turquoise" at check-out for 10% off your orders (until Friday 5/6).

Oh my word, this home! If you love contemporary, clean spaces, you don't want to miss out on this Boulder home featured in

Chiang Mai Dragon, it never gets old. And this bedroom...what an escape! Those windows are fabulous! See the rest of the home

I've shared this heavenly bathroom designed by
Candice Olson before, but when I discovered the corresponding bedroom in the portfolio of Toront0-based
Brandon Barré I was delighted! What a beautiful, cozy cove! It would be such a luxury to have a wall like that, opening up to a private deck. Then to have such an amazing bathroom in the other direction?!
Dream space!!!

Would you ever guess that blue is the favorite color of the owner of this home?! Featured in
Elle Decor and photographed by
Simon Upton, the designer
Steven Gambrel describes the casually elegant decor as an "ode to an English country house with a fresh take". I'm just loving the guest room here. Sorry, but if I was a staying over you'd have a hard time kicking me out! Same goes with the dreamy kitchen...I'm saving that image for my "one day!" file. Love! Read more about the space right on over

This serene master bedroom featured in
Veranda designed by Philadelphia-based
Carl Steele and photographed by
John Hall is crisp and cool. I don't think it would ever cross my mind to mix zebra-print curtains and Greek key-pattern carpeting, but the two definitely complement each another here!
I have to give a big birthday shout-out to my dad today!! He's a giant supporter of all my blogs (he should really be the head of my PR!), and of turquoise in general...he's always sending me photos from his iphone of turquoise stuff he sees, and proudly wears the turquoise shirts I buy him. What a great dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Thibault Jeanson is elegant and tranquil, filled with the perfect amount of gorgeous color, textures and patterns. The
Nancy Corzine bench covered in
Cowtan & Tout fabric is fab-u-lous!

If you've been following along, you know how much I've loved the precious nursery belonging to little Wren, the daughter of Holly of
Life in a Fun Lane fame. She has created such a darling space, with the most beautiful furniture and soothing colors. I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing Wren's room transform as she's grown a bit older, and now that she has her very own big girl bed, I just had to share! You can see what it used to look like
here and
here! And for more pics and to see what Holly has to say about it, go
here!

Candace Rose giveaway if you haven't yet!

Ok so really I just want to tell you my big news, I can't wait much longer, but how awesome is this bed I found in the October issue of
25 Beautiful Homes?! To have an upholstered bed like that...what a dream!
Now my news! Last night
I got engaged!!! I still can't believe it! The last 14 months of my life with Chris have been the best of my life. I never thought I'd meet anyone like him...a heart so filled with absolute kindness and enthusiasm. And so cute and smart too! I feel like the luckiest girl ever. Talk about a total surprise...never in a million years did I think that would happen, like it did, yesterday of all days. But it was perfect, so us. I'm so happy.
So so so happy!!! And so so so
excited!!!
Someone pinch me...I still can't believe it!!!

Today we're in Germany at the decadent
Soho House Berlin, designed by
Susie Atkinson. The 40-room boutique hotel is located in an old department store building, which was seized to be the home of the Hitler Youth base during WWII, and later the headquarters of the East Germany Communist Party. Talk about a colorful past! I'm loving the herringbone parquet floors and all that velvet. The headboards are so grand! And what about the spectacular event space,
The Politbüro?!
Holy mackerel! Promise me if you ever have a party here, I'm invited!
