John Willey

Perusing the portfolio of designer John Willey is like taking in a breath of fresh spring air! (Spring?? Ha! Minneapolis is expecting 8-12 inches of new snow!) I've shown part of this Nantucket home that was also featured in House Beautiful before (maybe you remember the very lovely aqua and orange room here) and of course that chandy from my chandelier post, but the rest of the home is equally as crisp and refreshing! Sun and sky...that's what I'm talking about!!

Incredible Dream Home

You guys aren't going to believe this, but this home actually belongs to one of my readers! Desireé Ashworth owns and designed this breathtaking home in Provo, UT filled with blues and greens. Desireé is passionate about these colors, and says that she and her husband are also obsessed with anything French, Swedish or Belgium. She also has her own blog, Décor de Provence, where she posts beautiful images, filled with French and Gustavian decor. I just loved this post here with pictures of her home decorated for Christmas!

The talented photographer behind these images is Ashlee Raubach. The detail and light she is able to capture is incredible! I know this home is beautiful on its own, but Ashlee turned it into a work of art! Ashlee also has a blog, and waiting there are lots more (and bigger, we all love bigger!) images and information on this stunning home. So head here and here to see more!

Hope you enjoyed the photos and hearing about these talented and super-sweet ladies! Also, thanks so much for all your kind comments yesterday (I've never seen so many in my life!)...your support and enthusiasm means the world to me! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Adriano Bacchella

I first learned of photographer Adriano Bacchella from Danielle of Style-Files. He is the talented eye behind all of these captivating images from Casa Zeus on the island of Filicudi, Italy. Just one more place to add to my "must visit" list. I can't even imagine staying somewhere like this....I don't think I'd ever manage to leave! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! :)

Paul Raeside

I thought this photograph taken by Paul Raeside was just too lovely not to share. The lighting is just perfect! Love the striped fabric on the ottoman. What do you guys think about the ship?? I know I've seen them in a few other rooms...they definitely add a funky touch!

Blue Seafoam

I just love this hall/stairway designed by Ruthie Sommers more than anything. If it wasn't painted the pretty Blue Seafoam by Benjamin Moore, it wouldn't be nearly anything to write home about (or mention on here for that matter!)

Moroccan Gem

There are so many amazing places like this all around the world, it makes me sad that I'll never be able to experience them for myself. But thanks to digital photography and the internet, we're so lucky to have a taste of this picturesque little alley in Morocco, captured by photographer Miguel F G. The icy blues and all the texture in this photograph are nothing short of stunning.

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!

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!
