What do you get when you combine incredible New England-inspired architecture with the sugar-white sand and turquoise water of 30A?? WaterSound! We drove past the private beach community when we were in Florida last month and it looked amazing. There were all sorts of dreamy homes, just like this one designed by Paul Geary of T.S. Adams Design Studio! The warm rustic touches paired with the crisp white and pops of sea-inspired color completely stole my heart! Did you notice the Viking appliances?! I don't think they even offer that color finish any more...so sad! The open family room/kitchen is as good as it gets, but I wouldn't mind a little R&R in that master suite...love the ceilings so much! See more of the home captured by photographer Emily Jenkins Followill right over here!

Known for her “color and pattern explosions”, Austin designer and self-proclaimed blue addict Kim West of Well Dressed Space loves using her 1920s Craftsman home as a testing ground! I think my favorite thing in the whole house is the the retro-inspired Big Chill fridge, but I'm super inspired by all of her fabulous vintage finds! (Those turquoise metal chairs especially!) Love her use of wallpaper too! You can read all about the home and see more pics by David A. Land (styled by Liz Strong) over at HGTV Magazine! Recent Turquoise Finds:

I'll tell you guys this much: my dream kitchen definitely has a turquoise fridge! I'll gladly take the one in this cheery Coronado, California home remodeled by QualCraft Construction and captured by Patricia Bean of Expressive Architectural Photography. The home was originally built in the 1940’s, and the homeowners wanted to maintain its original beach bungalow charm. The interior designer, Dominique Tharp, did a fantastic job replicating period details but still providing modern conveniences. Totally drooling over all of the built-ins, ceilings, and tilework! Love all of the coastal touches too! Learn more about the project right over here!
Speaking of turquoise appliances, there's big news in the turquoise world to report....Big Chill (hello, gorgeous custom-colored fridge above!) just introduced a new standard color in their popular retro line. You guessed it: Turquoise!
I loved what they had to say in their press release:
..."Turquoise is a show-stopping color. It has a dual personality – it’s elegant and sophisticated, but also whimsical and classic, making it a great addition to our Retro Line,” said President and Founder Orion Creamer. “While it is a great addition to our current mid-century palette, turquoise is very much a color for today. People are feeling more upbeat, more confident so lighter, more optimistic colors are making their way back into home interiors,” said Creamer.
Additionally, the new color pays tribute to the 1950’s, the era of inspiration for the Big Chill Retro collection. Turquoise was used widely in midcentury kitchens and in fashion throughout the decade. Retro inspired design, fun colors with all the benefits of modern appliances.
Gotta love turquoise! I'll take one of each please!! :) Go here for more info!

How fun is this retro-inspired kitchen?! The colorful tile from Mercury Mosaics, a company that creates handmade artisan tile right here in Minneapolis, is the perfect finishing touch! (Though you know I'm absolutely in love with the Big Chill appliances!) The checkerboard floor and sunny dining nook definitely add to the laid-back, retro vibe too. It might be small on space, but this kitchen is big on style! For tons more design inspiration, you have to visit Mercury Mosaics' gallery–it's filled with so many awesome spaces featuring their gorgeous handmade tile!

Nothing puts me in a Friday mood like a Jane Coslick cottage! Mo's Pink Zebra Cottage on Tybee Island, Georgia is a recently completed renovation by my favorite designer/preservationist, and I was fortunate enough to get to tour it in person! I didn't even need the address, the pink zebra shutters really gave it away. And upon entering, there was no question Jane's magic was behind every inch of this house! The clean, bright white walls and ceilings let in so much light, and were the perfect backdrop for all of the colorful furniture and accessories. Love Jane's signature mix of old and new too! And how about those fabulous appliances?! They are actually new, Jane just had them sprayed blue at an auto body shop! Genius, I tell ya!
The delightful cottage is available to rent–get all of the info and see more photos over at Tybee Cottages! And to see the other Jane Coslick cottage we actually stayed at during our vacation, go here!
(Did you spot my little photographer assistant in one of the pics above? He loves Jane's cottages as much as I do...could not get him to leave this one!)
