Muriel Brandolini

This stairwell in a home designed by Muriel Brandolini is so lovely and unique. I've never seen so many types of paper lanterns! The colors of the lanterns and pillows look great against the pretty wall color. And I LOVE the painted steps! What a cozy little place to sit back with a magazine!

Carrie Raphael

I fell hard for this Victorian farmhouse in Maryland belonging to designer Carrie Raphael when I spotted it on Simply Seleta. I just love the Swedish style used here. There are so many great details...the painted floor, slipcovers, the benches, the church window...love it all. You can check out more images from this home on Country Living, and be sure to check out Carrie Raphael's site for lots more Victorian inspiration, and to see her collection of custom designed, vintage inspired pieces for sale.

Robin's Egg for All

Maybe it's just me, but I think pretty much any room is 10 times prettier with a shade of robin's egg blue on the wall. I love the combinations of blues, paired with the bright greens in these photographs by Eric Roth. All so cheerful and relaxed! The top image is my fav though. I love the white built-ins showing off those great collections. And the blue furniture. Love turquoise and blue together.

And thank you so much everyone for all your nice comments yesterday. You guys made my day even better than it already was! :)

Light and Lovely

I can't get enough of the light streaming in and the pretty colors of these 2 beautiful photographs. The top one of a was taken by photographer Michael Luppino, and the bottom one by Gridley + Graves. Both so simple, but so pretty. The touches of yellow in the top image are really standing out for me, along with the collection of mirrors above the fireplace. So lovely!

Beachside Treat

I've posted that amazing room of curtained bunk beds before, but until I ran into it again on Blueprint Bliss, I had no idea where it came from (although of course we assumed a beach house). But it was THIS beach house in South Carolina designed by Carter Kay and featured in the April 2008 issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. How fabulous are those swinging beds on the porch? That's where I'm pretending to be stationed this weekend. Thank you, Blueprint Bliss, what a gem.

Jonathan Adler Knows Happy

A couple of weeks ago Rebecca of Harmony and Home tagged me with the challenge to pick an image that best describes my style. It was around then that I received House Beautiful in the mail with these photographs of Liz Lange's home designed by none other than Jonathan Adler. As much as I love tranquil turquoise rooms, I think vibrant, bold rooms are more my personal style. They just make me feel happy. And THIS, my friends, is exactly what I'm talking about! View more images of this Westchester stunner at House Beautiful!

Lieblich!

Pretty things come in little packages! Located in Cologne, Germany, my architect father tells me this bedroom/stairway wouldn't fly here in the states (and I don't how I'd feel if I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!). Nevertheless, it is altogether 560 square feet of turquoise joy! More info and pics here. (Thanks Alexandra! Good luck finding the perfect apartment!)

Bed of Flowers

Images of this delightful countryside bed and breakfast in Holland aptly named Bed of Flowers have been showing up everywhere in the blogosphere, so I apologize if you've seen them already. These were just too beautiful, too perfect for me, I had no choice but to share a few here too! Can you believe a room here costs only €95 per night for two people, which includes breakfast! Visit their website here to view a ton more yummy images.
