L'Echapper Belle ("The Beautiful Escape") is a breezy beachfront home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and it is headed straight to my all-time favorites list! Captured beautifully by photographers Gridley + Graves for a cover story in Beach Cottages magazine, the beach home is awash in soft greens and blues, paired with white and pale woods that keep everything feeling light and airy–perfect for the beach! The homeowner worked with Shelley Thompson of Cottage Chic to outfit much of the home, filling it was comfortable and casual pieces that exude cottage charm. (Those comfy striped chairs are my fav!) So in love with the galley kitchen too. Did you notice how the upper glass-front cabinets repeat the home's window design? Such a great detail! You can read the article about the home here and see even more photos here! I also discovered the home is a vacation rental (woohoo!) so get all of those details here!

When this empty-nester couple decided it was past time to update their home and get the furniture they wanted to have, they turned to Heather Scott Home & Design–an interior design firm and boutique based in Austin, Texas! I love how they used cool and calm shades of blue, as well as cream and white, throughout the rooms (photographed here by Kimberly Davis) so the home flows and feels put together. I can't decide what I love more...the formal dining room with the patterned grasscloth wallcovering, or the family room with dramatic drapery panels and gorgeous built-ins! The office is great too; the green-blue-gray color (Benjamin Moore HC-160 Knoxville Gray) is fabulous! For more design inspiration, visit their portfolio and blog!

No foolin', coastal style is my favorite. And San Diego-based AGK Design Studio is one of my favorite firms specializing in coastal modern interior design! They routinely leave me dreaming of the beach! How perfect is this oceanfront home they designed (photographed by Andrew Burns), filled with a breezy sand and sea palette?! Love every little thing about the kitchen, all of the chic coastal accessories, the mix of textures and finishes and the relaxed (and easy-to-clean!) slipcovers! The wall of glass and incredible water view are pretty amazing too! You can see more of the home here, and check out more of my favorite projects by this talented firm here!

Have a great weekend everyone! So happy April is here! :)

When perusing real estate listings, it's not too often you come across a home so bright and cheery! My turquoise-loving reader Nancy shared this Ocean View, Delaware gem with me; 25 Sycamore St. is a Bear Trap Dunes home for sale that's filled with vibrant color and tons of coastal character! You can tell from the pics the homeowner had a blast decorating, and is quite possibly a DIY enthusiast! Love all of the painted and upcycled pieces! The striped wall in the sunroom is super fun too. Possibly the best feature of the home though is the community shuttle right to the beach! Check out the listing and see more pics here!
