Benjie Jones

Every single room in this enchanting Atlanta home belonging to designer Benjie Jones gets a holiday touch! We're talking live trees in the kitchen and dining room, wreaths and a big wooden Santa in the master bedroom and bathroom, and leftover sprigs of evergreen tucked behind paintings everywhere. Keeping things artistic but measured, and fun without being too serious is actually the designer's everyday decorating approach. I'd love to see how his home looks the rest of the year, wouldn't you?? The robin’s egg-blue walls are gorgeous. I especially love it in the kitchen as a backdrop to the dinnerware and bottles.

Pat Healing

I literally gasped out loud when I laid my eyes on this room photographed by Maura McEvoy in the latest House Beautiful. The homeowner's oldest daughter wanted an aqua and black room, so Pat Healing of HB Home used a lot of white to keep it from being too dark. I don't know what I love more...the the always-exquisite Sara Chandelier or Paradise Background by Quadrille filling the walls with our favorite color! Speaking of Quadrille, have you seen their new fabric?? I am loving these three below!

In just a few hours we will be taking off for our long weekend in Massachusetts! I've long been dreaming about strolling the streets of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and thanks to you all, now Chatham. In fact I think that's where we will be celebrating my birthday tomorrow! I can't think of a better place to wrap up the best year of my life. 30 sure was a good one!

Designer Annette Tatum will be stopping by tomorrow with a guest post for you guys, and on Monday I have a fantastic giveaway all ready to roll. (You'll love it!) So with that, I need to bid you adieu so I can finish packing! :)

Retro Swedish Kitchen

After being submersed in turquoise and pink the last few months (our wedding colors), it sure is nice to revisit my first love: turquoise and red. There's no better place to sport this cheery combo than in a vintage-inspired kitchen. I've always thought a checkerboard floor would be so fun! How cool is that old vending machine?? I love that this kitchen is in Sweden too, not America as you would first think. See the rest of this home over on Hus & Hem!

Amazing Grace in Turks & Caicos

I know we barely just got back from our honeymoon, but there's something about taking a trip that just makes you want to go on another one! I certainly wouldn't mind spending my next vacation in Turks & Caicos at this luxury villa named Amazing Grace. The 9,000 square foot private escape is set on 600 secluded feet of white sand beachfront. 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms...I'm thinking a mini turquoise-lovers convention. If anyone could truly appreciate those beautiful shutters, it's us! Not to mention the tastefully decorated interiors, the crystal clear pool and the lovely terrace looking over the sparkling turquoise ocean. Read all about this fab villa here - including rates that I won't share here...day dreaming is too much fun!

The Cross Decor and Design

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!

Vivi's Aqua and Coral Nursery

Yes. YES. This is how you do a nursery people! I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted this room on Two Tall Blondes. Lucky little Vivi is the daughter of Joni, the talent behind Chocolate Butterbean. Her custom signs and stationary are amazing, so really it's so surprise to me that she churned out such a cool space (and a cool new nursery inspiration blog...). If you're like me, you neeeeed to know what colors we have here. Valspar Aqua Glow on the walls, and the ceiling is a lighter shade of the same color, Valspar Grand Hotel Mackinac Blue. Those colors and the b&w chevron rug really tie the eclectic space together in such a sophisticated way. See and learn more right here!
