Kristina de Atucha Interior Design

Oh my word, this home! If you love contemporary, clean spaces, you don't want to miss out on this Boulder home featured in Colorado Homes & Lifestyles designed by Kristina de Atucha Interior Design. Seriously, these two images don't do it justice! But I LOOOVE them! I'm such a sucker for Schumacher & Co.’s aquamarine Chiang Mai Dragon, it never gets old. And this bedroom...what an escape! Those windows are fabulous! See the rest of the home here!

Brandon Barré

I've shared this heavenly bathroom designed by Candice Olson before, but when I discovered the corresponding bedroom in the portfolio of Toront0-based Brandon Barré I was delighted! What a beautiful, cozy cove! It would be such a luxury to have a wall like that, opening up to a private deck. Then to have such an amazing bathroom in the other direction?! Dream space!!!

Exciting News!!!

Ok so really I just want to tell you my big news, I can't wait much longer, but how awesome is this bed I found in the October issue of 25 Beautiful Homes?! To have an upholstered bed like that...what a dream!

Now my news! Last night I got engaged!!! I still can't believe it! The last 14 months of my life with Chris have been the best of my life. I never thought I'd meet anyone like him...a heart so filled with absolute kindness and enthusiasm. And so cute and smart too! I feel like the luckiest girl ever. Talk about a total surprise...never in a million years did I think that would happen, like it did, yesterday of all days. But it was perfect, so us. I'm so happy. So so so happy!!! And so so so excited!!!

Someone pinch me...I still can't believe it!!!

Wren's Big Girl Bed

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!

Carl Steele And Birthday Wishes

This serene master bedroom featured in Veranda designed by Philadelphia-based Carl Steele and photographed by John Hall is crisp and cool. I don't think it would ever cross my mind to mix zebra-print curtains and Greek key-pattern carpeting, but the two definitely complement each another here!

I have to give a big birthday shout-out to my dad today!! He's a giant supporter of all my blogs (he should really be the head of my PR!), and of turquoise in general...he's always sending me photos from his iphone of turquoise stuff he sees, and proudly wears the turquoise shirts I buy him. What a great dad!

Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Suzanne Käsler

First! My heart beats a little 'faster when I look at this to-die-room of my favorite designer Suzanne Käsler and also on the January issue of Veranda. This room is in Greenwich, Connecticut Home Photos Thibault Jeanson is an elegant and tranquil, filled with the right amount of beautiful colors, patterns and designs. Nancy Corzine bench covered in Cowtan & Tout fabric is fab-u-Lous!

An All-Time Favorite

This isn't the first time I've posted this room, but its easily one of my all-time favorites. Additionally, I just found the picture of the other side of the room so I thought I'd share. This room was designed by Sally Henderson especially for a teenage girl. I love absolutely everything about it...the color scheme, the comfy sitting area, the built-ins, the pretty area rug, the Lucite furniture, and the enormous ceiling. But my favorite thing about the entire room is the dramatic turquoise headboard! For more on this home, including lots more pictures, head over to House Beautiful!
