A Hamptons Home

Hi Everyone!

I'm home again, at least for a few more days!

Weather is improving here on the island.........the sun is finally coming out, so maybe we can enjoy some warmth for a few days.

The home featured today is by Carrier and Co. Architects............a summer home for Anna Wintour.

Love the casual, comfortable and country feel to this house.......the soft colors and the artwork.

Enjoy!

A Designer's Charming Home

While doing a little research on interiors the other night, I happened upon this charming home owned by interior designer, Wendy Valliere.

After years of producing wonderful interiors for her clients, and never having done a red kitchen, she decided it was time to do one for herself when she settled down in a small Vermont town.

Looking at her home, red is obviously a favorite color of hers, as it is tastefully interspersed throughout.  The red kitchen is a knockout, the red guest room is an absolute charm and where would the black and white master bedroom and bath be without those perfectly placed splashes of red?

I was thrilled to find the whole home that went with those gorgeous quilt top window treatments in the guest room, as I had used that exact image a while back in a post on "Decorating with Quilts".  And that swan bed is to die for!

Hope you enjoy this home as much as I did.  To see more, check out New England Home magazine.

Enjoy!

Crazy for Coral!

I am loving all the coral I am seeing these days!  Whether it's a whole collection gathered over a lifetime, or a touch of it here and there, it's a wonderful addition to any room!

And the colors!  Red, white, blue and pink are just a few that I have seen and it's charming in all forms - textiles, lights, mirrors, art - the sky is the limit!

Enjoy!

An English Row House

Hi there!

I saw this London rowhouse in Canadian House and Home magazine last month and fell in love with it.......it's such a warm, welcoming space to walk into.

It didn't surprise me either to discover the designer was no other than Canada's own Sarah Richardson.  It's her signature palette of soft colors, comfort and down to earth livability.

If  you are familiar with Sarah's work, you know what I mean.  If you're not, check her out on HGTV.  Her new season is beginning today and her reruns are ongoing.

And to see more of this fabulous makeover, check out houseandhome.com.

Enjoy!
