Design

I'm so not alone in the blogosphere when it comes to loving this space designed by Jim Howard and photographed by Franscesco Lagnese . House Beautiful actually featured much more of the amazing home, but this romantic bedroom was my absolute favorite. I know this isn't the best photo in the world, so head over here to see more of this gorgeous beach home! Just a sidenote: we're getting pretty close to the wedding here...16 days to be exact!! (Eek! So exciting!) My posts might be a little more sparse than usual from here on out, and regrettably some emails may be falling through the cracks. I'll make it up to you with wedding photos though, I promise! Actually we just had our engagement photos taken last night. (We waited until the very end, I know, but around here the snow is finally losing its battle against the sun!) And yes, there was turquoise!! :)

This beach house designed by the talented Elsa Soyars and featured in the latest Adore Home has been floating around the blogosphere, but if it doesn't scream House of Turquoise, I don't know what does! I was so happy to see more of the fabulous home in Elsa's portfolio. I've been a big fan of hers for a while now (see my post here). It's just the way she does beachy chic is so up my alley! I just can't get enough of the neutral colors brought to life with the cheery turquoise. Did you see that kitchen?! I need to wipe the drool off my keyboard here. Seriously...is there a Hamptons home that I don't like?! Enjoy your weekend everyone!! I don't know about you, but I need to get some serious shopping done!

What a darling kitchen from the February issue of 25 Beautiful Homes ! I think what I love most (other than the pretty paint job!) is the fact there is stuff all over the countertops and a dog bowl in the middle of the floor. How refreshing is that?! Anyway, I really want to paint our cabinets now. There's no better instant facelift!

It is therefore not surprising that the boy clean room is small and easy outside Scandinavia. I saw it on Norwegian Interior Blogger, but you can check more information about space on the blog Norwegian Bo happiness. A note: I studied two years at the Norwegian College, part of the full-time in Oslo. Today, my Norwegian? Ikke så bra. It is good, pleasant rooms and good pictures speak a universal language! So, did you hear about all the guys at the next conference Design bloggers? This is a two-day conference in Los Angeles in late February. So many of our favorite design bloggers are talking about, and even more to participate. (You can see the list of both.) Can you imagine ... two days totally focused on blogging design?! Meeting all our friends in cyber?! Networking with people super-talented?! What a dream! I officially decided that I frequent, so if any of you are so good, so let me know! I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!

Here are even more images from the talented designer Jennifer Flanders . These bedrooms are all so beautiful and and serene. I am loving that headboard in the 2nd image!

Yesterday Daisy Pink Cupcake had a whole slew of gorgeous images from the Firmdale Hotels in London..including an image I knew I'd shared before that I found on PointClickHome . Who knew that it came from this fabulous London hotel?! You have to check out Daisy Pink Cupcake to see the even more of the this and another equally grand hotel. Trust me, all the rooms are as terrific as these.

Every possible detail of the EcoManor is either sustainable or recycled. Benjamin Moore's EcoSpec Low-VOC paint (Bird's Egg 2051-60) and all natural fabrics make the master bedroom a healthy and tranquil retreat. Paintings are by renowned artist Thomas Swanston. - EcoManor

A pair of deep, gentle hues, combined with bright-blue accents, create a dreamy, restful retreat for this bedroom . Decked in glossy charcoal, the radiator practically disappears into the wall. The use of bright cobalt accessories harmonize with the paint's undertones and bring them to life. walls: gray Rushing River #1574 from Benjamin Moore.
