Amanda Nisbet Design

Amanda Nisbet is one of the very first designers I ever learned about and immediately loved. Can you see why?! Her extensive portfolio is so colorful and so fresh that it leaves me practically speechless! Her genius blend of color, pattern and texture make for some incredibly elegant, fun and daring interiors. Not to mention totally livable and comfortable! This hardly puts a dent it in, you must head to her site to see lots more of her incredible designs!

Amanda also recently published her very first book, Dazzling Design. Definitely one for our wish lists this year!

Color Me Happy

Can you guess where this home is?! Just a few minutes walk from the sea in Malmö, Sweden, of course! This Hus & Hem space showcasing a bright white backdrop splashed with a rainbow of color is all sorts of fun. I'm digging the whimsical details like the life-sized animals by artist William Sweetlove, the beautiful glass art, and all the bold fabrics. But most of all I am absolutely in love with all of those rugs!!! See more of this funky, happy home over here!

Summer Thornton Design

How posh and pretty darn cool is this Chicago penthouse designed by Summer Thornton Design?! I just love her philosophy: "To make the design process unpretentious, fun and fresh. Mixing high and low, rough and polished, classic and irreverent, her designs utilize contrast to engage the senses". Check her portfolio, you'll see exactly that. But before you go, scroll back up and look at the first image again. I died and went to heaven...

Crisp and Cool Sunroom

It's rooms like this (photographed by Peter Murdock) that make Coastal Living one of my favorite magazines. All that crisp white brought to life with the bold turquoise sofa. Yum! I love all the windows, the high slanted ceiling and that cute slipcovered chair. And I especially love that a radiant heat system was installed underneath the bluestone pavers, which were salvaged from a former patio. Just what our long Minnesota winters call for! Check out MyHomeIdeas for more info on this room!

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!

Capri Tiberio Palace

If only I could hop over to Capri twice in one month in real life too! Today we're back on the beautiful island, this time visiting the beautiful hotel Capri Tiberio Palace. This chic five-star boutique hotel just received a stylish makeover by fashion designer turned architect Giampiero Panepinto. These photos taken by Giulio Oriani were recently featured in Elle Decoration as well as Men’s Mentore. I love how they're all touched by the turquoise reminiscent of the amazing views off the private balconies. Have any of you ever been to Capri?? It looks like an incredible place to visit! (And I wouldn't mind to spend my nights here either!)
