It's for good reason that this delightful room designed by
David Kleinberg and photographed by
Eric Piasecki that was featured in
Architectural Digest has been shown all over blogland and
Pinterest! Honestly I have to say this is one of my favorite images I've ever seen. Maybe because my first love in life was a plump Siamese cat, aptly named Cat...and then my Siamese cats Mouse, Scamp, Gizmo, Shiva and now currently Kismet. (We also have an orange and white cat Spencer, whom I love dearly.) Then add in the fact that long ago when I first discovered my fondness for turquoise, I found it even more favorable when paired with lime green. So there you have it. I'd stare all day at this photo and it would still bring me so much joy. I'm pretty sure I need the bedding from
Leontine Linens pronto. However it's the fabulous Paradise Garden toile from
Quadrille on the duvet and walls that is the true darling here! Or is it the cat? I can't decide. :)
I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I can't believe it's the last one in August!

There's something to be said about the clean, earthy, colorful textures of the coast. In my book, no one interprets it better than the design firm
Bonesteel Trout Hall, whose style epitomizes the laid back glamour of the California lifestyle. I absolutely adore their serene rooms filled with watery blues and greens. But just how fun are the rooms with more punchy color?? I'm loving every.single.photo! For more, see
this post I did last year, and definitely head over to their
site for
lots more eye candy!

To have a cute little waterside cottage in Nantucket...how many of us would be in absolute heaven?! This picture-perfect one by architects
Brooks & Falatico with interior design by
Lynn Morgan Design is just what I'd dream up for myself. All that white spiced up with yummy turquoise! I'm in love with those turquoise Moroccan poufs in the living room and the big, cozy sectional. And how about the turquoise lacquered floor in the bedroom?! Swoon!
If you're loving this home, I know you'll go nuts over this other Nantucket home that Lynn designed. I featured it quite a while back, so many of you might have missed it. Check it out
here!

I immediately bookmarked interior design firm
RLH Studio when they won honorable mention in the
Show Off Your Schumacher Wallcovering contest (and not just because they are from Minneapolis!) Since then I've seen the winning bathroom above floating around the blogopshere. And for good reason...is it not one of the most gorgeous bathrooms you've ever seen?? Schumacher's
Albero Floreale in Aqua wallpaper is incredible, and looks perfect with the paint color on the makeup vanity. The corresponding bedroom is so beautiful too, with more stunning wallcovering. The little girl's room is an absolute dream come true!! And I love the blue and green living room above...so comfy and colorful! There are lots more beautiful rooms I know you'll love over on their
website, so check it out!

Oh how I wish I could spend a summer on the New England coast!! Located in the first Colonial settlement on Martha’s Vineyard, this sunny home photographed by
Michael Partenio might appear to have been around for ages. But nope, this lovely is entirely new...except for a tiny part in the front. The architectural firm
Brooks & Falotico (remember them from
this home we all loved??) and
Rosbeck Builders worked with interior designer
Julia Doyle to keep the home historically authentic, but also comfortable and fun...this is a vacation home after all! I love the burst of color from unexpected places, like the kitchen counters and glass tile around the fireplace. And the window seat is just the cutest thing ever! Read all about this home and see more great images over at
New England Home!

I've long been admiring this guestroom designed by Suzanne Tucker and the staff of
Tucker & Marks for the 2010 Elle Decor Designer Showhouse. I love everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about this space! Suzanne's own
Hatley fabric is used here as wallcovering and I absolutely adore it. That
faux coral mirror is so cool too! And the hand-carved beds...*sigh*....they are truly the show-stoppers here. Designer
Katie Denham had a fantastic post dedicated to this beautiful room on her blog KatieDid, including the neat story behind those incredible beds! All you want to know and more eye candy waits for you here!
I'm super excited because tomorrow we're leaving to visit one of my favorite cities: Chicago! You'll love this...for a wedding present Chris surprised me with plane tickets, hotel reservations and concert tickets for us to see Ray LaMontagne play in Millennium Park (check out that bandshell!) His music, as well as Chicago, are both very sentimental to us...so it's going to be great! If anyone has any sight-seeing, dining or shopping recommendations, we'd love to hear!
I'll be back towards the end of next week, but keep stopping by because there will be posts in my absence! Enjoy your weekend!!!
