I love how designer Libby Langdon manages to incorporate a slight nautical theme into this Newport, Rhode Island guestroom, while keeping the look simple and elegant. I just want to crack open the door and listen to the waves! Don't you agree the gorgeous wall color is such a great complement to the crisp bedding? You don't want to miss out on the rest of the home, I know you'll LOVE it, so head on over here !

Remember that adorable coastal cottage from last week belonging to the talented photographer Stacey Haines? Well I've got more images to share from her! This story from Canadian Home & Country actually won Stacey a National Magazine Gold Award in Canada. She not only shot the story, but pitched the idea and produced the shoot. The cute cabin in Nova Scotia actually belongs to her parents and their family did the makeover together, so winning this award was super special to her! Read more about this cozy getaway here and view more amazing photography from Stacey here !

Dream bath alert! Little Rock designer Garry Mertins created this soothing spa-like retreat that was featured in At Home in Atlanta and photographed by Nancy Nolan. I love that a custom wall color was created to match the existing tile. (I always get so sad when people want to get rid of turquoise tile!) My favorite feature here, other than the color, is the overflowing soaking tub. What I'd give to fill my bathtub up to the brim and soak away the day! Read more about this tranquil space here ! I cannot thank you guys enough for all the comments and emails yesterday! I was on Cloud 9 all day long, couldn't stop smiling! Your kind words only made me that much happier! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! :D

A ton of new snow was just dumped on Minnesota, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming about summer! I'd love to have a lake home just like this Lake Michigan cottage designed by Kathryn Chaplow . Actually I'd love to just have a home like this one, it really doesn't even need to be by a lake! That serene bedroom is a slice of heaven! Love the aqua, the ceilings, the little nook...all so pretty. What about the porch...how fun is that red animal print?! And did you notice the blue and green fabric on the pillow on the sofa in the living room? It looks a lot like the fabric from yesterday's nursery ! We gotta figure out what that is, I love it! See more of Kathryn's work right on over here !

When Chrissa the Design Junkie featured this space on her Facebook page a couple weeks ago, it immediately left me breathless. If I could decorate my home entirely in turquoise, hot pink and white, I'd be one happy camper. This suite from the Millennium Water Development featured on Carrie Leber's blog was designed by The Cross Decor and Design out of Vancouver. That bedroom is jaw-dropping...one of my all-time favorites! If you want to replicate the look in your home, most everything you see is available in their online store. I need that tufted bed!

Spring is in the air! And if not outside your windows, definitely in that first delightful image above. (The cute kitty called for top placement!) Photographed by Peter Carlsson and featured in Hus & Hem , this century-old Swedish home is light and bright, just what I love. The sunny porch is such a great space...what a pretty place to keep your things or enjoy a cup of tea! Tour the rest of the home here !

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! Don't forget to enter the Candace Rose giveaway if you haven't yet!

You've seen (and loved) another pretty bathroom styled by Kelly McGuill here before, so I knew you'd just adore this one showcasing her special touch. The peaceful space was designed by Lisa Tweed, an interior designer out of Scituate, MA. If you ask me, the two are a match made in heaven! What I'd give to soak away in a tub like that when it's this cold and snowy out! Total bliss!

I can almost hear the sighs coming from you guys after seeing this rustic beauty! Another Norwegian delight, this time from the blog Landcharm . For a kitchen filled to the brim with dreamy white, it certainly feels so warm and cozy! Wouldn't a fireplace like that be such a treat?! All of us in Minnesota say yes!!

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!
