Key West Kitchen

I was so excited to spot this cheery kitchen photographed by Tria Giovan on MyHomeIdeas. I'm still so obsessed with yellow and turquoise! Can you imagine how blah this room would be if the cabinets weren't painted that pretty aqua?? I love the open shelves too, what a great way to display that colorful collection of dishware. Cute cute cute!

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!

Matteo Thun

I've never seen such beautiful tile! The colors, the mix of patterns, totally out of this world...or at least the US! Featured in Elle Decoration, internationally renowned Italian designer Matteo Thun and his wife Susanne used a mix of designs, including some by Gio Ponti to cover the entire wall of the dining room of his home in Capri. The Murano glass chandelier is extraordinary! You guys do not want to miss the rest of the home, including some of the most amazing views ever! Head here!

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!

Sally Denning

I just love this photo and the peek into the bedroom styled by Sally Denning, former Style Director of Ideal Home magazine. Boy do those colors pop on that all-white canvas. I wish I could fill my home with white floors like this. I'm sure it would look this clean...um...try never, due to the dog. But I can dream! Love the b&w cat too...that's my kind of styling!

Amie Weitzman + Fun news!

I love how cheerful and fresh, not to mention functional, this bathroom is designed by Amie Weitzman. As soon as I saw it, I put it in my own inspiration file. I'm so excited you guys because as I'm writing this, I'm finally moving out of my apartment! Chris and I are moving in together and I couldn't be more thrilled. Obviously to live with him and take that next step, but also to have my own HOUSE. There's still a ton of work ahead, it looks like a tornado went through right now, but I'm so excited. We have a lot of great ideas (and he likes turquoise!) As my facebook peeps have already seen, my new office is painted...but I can't wait to share the end result with you. Hopefully sooner rather than later! :)

Holly Dyment

There is one very apparent thing when you look at the website of Toronto interior decorator Holly Dyment: her love of color. And not just pops of it here and there, but full-blown technicolor rooms that scream fun! Holly actually has a fine art background combined with graphic design training that gives her a unique approach that I'm not used to seeing every day. It takes serious talent to combine patterns and vibrant color the way she does! And I could eat it all up with a spoon! Mmmmm. And with that, have a super fun weekend everyone! :)

Key West & Hallmark

What I'd give to spend a weekend in this adorable Key West vacation home designed by Todd Richesin! Melissa of The Inspired Room posted several photos from the very cool home featured in Traditional Home, but it was the guesthouse and pool that stopped me in my tracks. It's picture-perfect in every way!
Thank you all for your super-supportive comments again regarding my time at Hallmark! The presentation went SO WELL. I couldn't have been more pleased with my first-ever speaking engagement! I think the success can be fully attributed to the fact that I was talking about my two favorite things: turquoise and blogging! You guys should have seen the reception afterward. They had turquoise cupcakes that were painstakingly made by Hallmarker Laura of the blog Oh For Heaven Cakes (I can't get over that name...too cute!) They tasted just as fantastic as they looked! Loved the yummy turquoise punch too, talk about perfect color! A giant thank you to Scott, Susan and Marita for their kindness and hospitality. I thoroughly enjoyed every second with them! I had the fortune of meeting so many cool, creative people! I really dug the energy and creativity flowing through the halls of Hallmark, the inspiration everywhere was incredible. What a great experience!

For a recap of my presentation, including some more photos from the day, head over to the Dirty Laundry Blog! Jeanee is yet another cool Hallmarker with amazing talent! (You have to see the present she gave me, I promise you'll love it too!)
