A Summer Beach House

The latest issue of Country Living Magazine has me dreaming of my future home-away-from-home.  This month's issue features a great spread on a beach house in Chatham, MA.  I love the soothing palette with pops of color used throughout the house......... this is just the kind of beach house I'd love to be running to on the weekends............once I win the lottery, of course!

A Room with a View

I love perusing design magazines for well design rooms.  Whether I am looking for bedroom inspirations or a great wall color, I often stumble upon rooms that share one great feature.  In this case, it's a room with a view!  Take a look at the gorgeous backdrop in these interiors....I am impressed!  Sadly, the view out of my own window falls short.  Today it's just a reminder that I need to get out there and weed, prune and cut.  :(

HAPPY SUMMER!

Fun Home Office

I am usually a daily visitor @ House of Turquoise, but lately I've been too busy to check out my favorite blog.   So I was thrilled to visit recently and discover this great home office featured back in April.  Here's a peek for those of you that missed it too.  I love the bright accent colors of yellow and turquoise.  The dog's a cutie too!

Memorial Day & Summer Colors

They say Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and with the temperatures in the high 80's along the humidity it feels like August already!!  I spotted these great photos featured in County Living Magazine and love the cool look......lots of white with punches of blue, aqua and green.  I'll save these for my next house! :)












HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Chairs with Personality

I've been searching for a chair with some personality, not your run-of-the-mill chair.  It didn't take me long to find the following chairs.  Some showcase an edgy frame with a neutral upholstery, others have a more traditional frame with a colorful fabric and some are a combination of both!  Either way, it's hard to pick a winner..... I think you'd agree they all exude a ton of personality!

Garden Seats

It's been a while since my last post and I am happy to be back!!  I am thrilled to continue to receive visitors from around the world and am happy to say I have had over 11,000 page hits since I started this blog a few month ago.  :)  So thank you to all who continue to visit!! 

Now for my latest obsession......garden seats!!! They are a great little piece to add to your room's decor.  Found in a variety of materials, these seats are quite versatile.  Often used as a side table, garden seats can add a pop of color or a textural element to a room.  Below are a few examples I found that I think are great looking!
