Roberts Erickson Design

I'm dishing out the eye-candy today, complements of Roberts Erickson Design (remember that fab bedroom they designed?) The owners of this eclectic Myrtle Beach home featured in Grand Strand Magazine live here full-time, but still wanted to have a vacation vibe. They were very adamant about keeping things neutral, so pops of colors were brought in to create a look that coexists with the ocean-side landscape. The result is beachy, but not in a literal way. What I love the most is that the couple didn't start all over from scratch, they wanted to keep a lot of their original furniture and accessories. They just wanted an update. I'd say they got that and more! Too read all about their home, head here!

Cool Custom Bunk Room

This space designed by Platt Byard Dovell White Architects and designer Tracy Bross is out of this world cool, when I saw it on Table Tonic I knew you guys would love it too. The room (photographed by Jonathan Wallen) is actually featured in the new book Room for Children: Stylish Spaces for Sleep and Play by Susanna Sulk, a compilation of over 100 stylish interiors ranging from nursery to teen. What kid wouldn't want to spend a night or two in this bunkroom, tucked away in their own private hideaway? And I don't know about you, but I love that turquoise and orange!!!

Another Dreamy Sleeping Nook

Talk about a lucky girl! Thanks to Sweet Home Style, I didn't miss seeing this adorable space that Apartment Therapy featured belonging to Mary, who is now a freshman in college. When she was young she never wanted to sleep in her own bed. As a solution, her mom and aunt decided to build her this special little sleeping nook for her 8th birthday. Even though the room has a childish feel, she says she never grew out of it. Understandably Mary was recently devastated to learn her parents were selling her childhood home, but was comforted knowing that the family moving in had two little girls who were mesmerized by the beautiful and cozy room. I don't blame them...it's truly mesmerizing, isn't it? Love those floors and ceiling too!

Caldwell Flake

Blueprint Bliss and Room Remix have both recently featured some of the stunning work of Lisa Flake and Mary Ruth Caldwell, the mother/daughter team of of Caldwell Flake. However there is nothing like a tour of their portfolio. So many bold vibrant rooms, so many soothing neutral spaces, ALL completely droolworthy. Part of their philosophy is to compose visual anecdotes that are all at once classic, curious and calming, which is definitely apparent in these examples. Do head over to their site though, you won't be sorry!

Georgia Carlee

I've featured the WaterColor, Florida home by Georgia Carlee of GCI Design before, but after taking a look at her portfolio, I had to feature it again, this time with some bonus images in addition to the ones from Traditional Home. (Plus now I know how to have larger images, 2 years ago I did not!) I love the soothing, beachy color scheme and all the natural elements...totally reminds me of the sand and sky. Definitely the perfect beachy home, if you ask me!

Bring Home the Beach

Sweet dreams are made of these! My favorite article in the May issue of Coastal Living was Bring Home the Beach. It featured this gorgeous beach home in South Carolina designed by Carter Kay, and photographed so beautifully by J. Savage Gibson. I don't even know what image is my favorite, I love them all to pieces. I'll tell you what though, staring at that first one really takes you away, doesn't it?? For these images and so many more, head to MyHomeIdeas! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, whether you're by the beach or not!

Martensen Jones Interiors

Ooh la la! My eyes were in for a real treat when I discovered this fun bedroom designed by Martensen Jones Interiors on MadeByGirl. I know this is a room the little girl is easily going to grow into. Love that white backdrop, the fresh green and blue color palette, all the fab furnishings and fabric! Seriously, how many lucky ducklings have a Hermes throw at the foot of their bed?!

I hope you enjoyed all the readers' room inspiration to kick-off your weekend! I've selected some colorful and bold bedrooms, obviously reserved mainly for the younger crowd. You guys really like to have fun when you decorate your kids' rooms...I love it!

Keep your rooms coming to me, I love seeing them!! I'm trying to figure out how to better organize all my email, I never dreamed in a million years I'd get as much as I do! So if you've sent me something and I haven't responded, please be patient! I hope you all have a great weekend...I'm off to Iowa to visit my grandma. She turned 90 this week! :)
