The Whalehead Club - Corolla, NC

It's mid-July already and the summer is slipping by fast.  Haven't had much time to post lately as we are in the midst of wedding planning!!  In looking for great color inspiration for the blog, I came across this picture of the wedding venue and thought......you can't beat the soothing colors of green and blue!! Ironically they are the colors of my step-daughter's wedding too!!  The big day is planned for October @ The Whalehead Club located in Corolla, NC.  I am so excited for her and her fiance!!!! But I've got to keep reminding myself........................... 3 months and 10 lbs to go!

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! :)

I spy...Ikea shelves!

Who doesn't like IKEA?  The Swedish mega store known for its well priced stylish designs, has a variety of storage options.  I love their shelving, it's functional as well as affordable and can be used throughout the house!  Take a look at the ones I've spotted.....you have to love the versatility of these shelves!

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!
