Honey Collins

This delightful 1903 Shingle Style home in Massachusetts's North Shore photo of Michael J. Lee also design and elegance of New England to the case of the Old South The challenge for designers of interior decoration Honey Collins face in this classic New England house was to comply with the formalities associated with the same time, it feels hot, exciting and fresh. I like the combination of models everywhere, and the perfect combination of subtle and bold colors. "Landing Room" is great, I'd like to have a space for this.

Craig Kettles

I'm back!!! What a fantastic vacation I had! I can't wait to get my pictures on to my computer (all 1,300 of them!) and share a few favorites with you guys. I saw loads of turquoise gems I know you're gonna love. I just want to send another thank you to all of my talented guest bloggers...I loved all of your posts!

Since I'm feeling pretty exhausted (the NYC part of our trip should have been first on our itinerary!) but mostly since I wish I was still at the beach, I felt these rooms designed by Craig Kettles were perfectly fitting for the day. I'm loving the painted floor and cozy nooks in the bunk room. Wouldn't the painted ceiling in the bedroom would be a delight to gaze up at?! Both rooms so simple, but absolutely lovely in every way! For more spaces as equally as beautiful, head on over to C Designs!

Valerie Onor

I first learned of interior designer Valerie Onor in Schumacher's blog where they featured her work in the Mansions and Millionaires showhouse which earned her the title of "Designer of the Year 2009". I was immediately hooked, and went on to her website only to discover it filled with my favorite color. (Not just these gorgeous rooms, but her actual site too!) It's obvious going through her portfolio that she loves color, and classic designs that combine beautiful fabrics, artwork and furnishings. All so elegant, but comfortable at the same time. Definitely head over to her site next for more fabulous images!

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!

Lucas Studio

I felt like I stumbled upon a gem when I discovered Lucas Studio and the rooms they designed for the Stately Homes by the Sea Showhouse (and photographed by the talented John Bessler.) That nursery is fab-u-lous. I didn't even realize it was a nursery until I saw the crib and rocking horse! Is that daybed not stuff dreams are made of?! That fabric!! I also included images from the living room. I'm normally a fan of bright colors, but I love this room. That window seat is calling my name! To learn more about these spaces, check out Stylebeat. Have yourselves a fantastic weekend!

Cool Cabana

I love how this image evokes summertime like nothing else! Designed by Robert Passal, the room is actually the interior of a cabana from a Bergen County, NJ home. (You can see the rest of it here, it's a beautiful home!) I can just imagine coming in here to cool off, grabbing a nice cold beverage, and having a little chat with that cute dog! (Don't you love interior shots with animals?!)

Tobi Fairley

If you've seen this month's House Beautiful, you've surely drooled over this home in Fayetteville, Arkansas designed by Tobi Fairley. I must share it here for those of you yet to see it (and for my own collection, of course!) I love the glamour of it all. But the living room just takes the cake. All that blue!!!! I honestly can't pick my favorite feature...the furniture, the walls, that glorious rug... it's all incredible. I also appreciated what Tobi said..."I wanted to wrap the living room in layers of pale blue tones without a lot of contrast. If you use color devoid of contrast, it becomes almost like a neutral." Very good to know! :)

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!
