Located on Tybee Island in Savannah, GA, this cottage has everything someone can wish for in a coastal cottage. It has a welcoming front porch and vibrant interiors mixed with soothing spaces. And talking about space, this is a cottage that uses every inch of it in a very smart way. Take for example the second story loft, where curtains were added to create separate sleeping areas for the kids and an extra area to play.

The main floor is open and it feels spacious, full of natural light. The kitchen in this coastal cottage is also great with its grey cabinets and honed white marble countertops.

Designed by Joel Snayd from Rethink Design Studio, this coastal cottage has that great summer feel that we often crave and wish we could find more often for our delight.

The interiors of this cottage are inspiring me to bring more color into my home during this summer! I hope it inspired you too!

 Coastal Cottage

This screened porch is a great place to enjoy a sunny, bug-free afternoon.

I love the 1960s vintage spun fiberglass outdoor furniture. The designer added new cushions using Sunbrella fabric.

The iron urns are most likely from the 1920s.

Living Room

The living is fun, colorful and comfortable.

Rug is from GDC Home and sofa is the “Silhouettes Sofa with Dressmaker Skirt” by Hickory Chair. The sofa pillows are Thomas Paul for Duralee with solid green back and welt cord.

The pair of rattan chairs were bought locally at a store called One Fish Two Fish. The coffee table was a vintage find and the blinds are Rio woven shades.

Dining Room

The open space connecting the dining room and kitchen, makes everything much easier when entertaining.

The light fixture above the dining room table is from Circa Lighting. The finish is antique brass. The designer painted the “hood and trim pieces” a soft pale blue to give it a more vintage cottage feel.

Chairs are by Crate & Barrel and the dining table is from Hickory Chair.

Decor

The floors are 6×12 Squall slate in a brick pattern.

Stools & Stairs

The kitchen cabinets were painted in Sterling 1591 by Benjamin Moore.

The countertop is Carrera marble with a honed finish and the kitchen stools are from Overstock.

Upstairs

The second story of this cottage acts as a sleeping nook and family room.

Paint Color: The floor color is Sterling 1591 by Benjamin Moore and the walls are SW Extra White 7006.

Curtains

According to the designer, behind the white flowing curtains are built-in beds each adorned with a nautical reading light and built-in hideaway niches.

The curtains are from Pottery Barn.

Behind the Curtains

This is playful and vibrant. The designer used nautical pillows (2 for each bed) and hung them with hooks from Etsy.

The night stand is vintage, from the early 60s. Rug is from West Elm. The navy sheets and pillow covers are from Amy Butler’s Constanta Navy bedding collection.

Kids Play Area

The play area feels light and airy with painted gray floors and all white wall. This is a wonderful place for the kids to hangout.

The swivel rattan chairs and table are vintage finds.

Paint Color: Extra White 7006 by Sherwin Williams.

Grey & Yellow

What a wonderful way to spruce up a bathroom. From basic to fabulous!

The side table is by West Elm. The fabric used for the shower curtain is by Dwell Studio.

Adding Color

Bathroom Dimensions: roughly 6′ x 12′.

Guest Bedroom

This is a very relaxing bedroom. Small yet comfortable.

 Night stand is by West Elm and the sconces are by Ralph Lauren.

Coastal Colors

The headboard was found at an antique store and then sprayed a soft grey.

Wall Paint Color: Sherwin Williams Tradewind 6218.

Between Quilts & Shells

This vintage armoire was professionally painted.

Coastal Bathroom Design

Lovely coastal decor and sconces.

Master Bedroom

This bedroom is perfect for a cottage!

The bed is vintage and the white bed spread with green trim was purchased at a local Homegoods.

Paint Color: Sherwin Williams 6204 Sea Salt.

Bathroom

I love the classic elements found in this bathroom, such as the white marble and the claw tub.

The wall color is SW Window Pane 6210.

The mirror was found at a flea market, painted in a warm gray and then, glazed and lightly scratched with steel wool to add more patina.

 Outdoor Shower

A beach cottage with an outdoor shower? This is paradise!

Light above front door is by Barn Light

The exterior paint is Sherwin Williams Dewy 6469. The trims are Sherwin Williams Extra White 7006.

The door paint color is Sherwin Williams Gladiola 6875.

How are you guys doing today? I missed yesterday’s post because I took my weekend off to spend time with the kids. We played board games and watched hokey. My husband made a very yummy Mother’s Day dinner for us and we had a very memorable day together.

Now, I’m off to organize and clean some things around the house. That’s a job that never ends…

Have a great day, my friends!!!

Hello everyone! Can you believe how fast this week is passing by?! Time seems to be going by so fast and summer will be here before we know it.

Talking about summer, I hope you can have a lazy afternoon to slowly go through each picture. Today’s Interior Design Ideas has so many great interiors to be inspired by, and I’m sure you’ll find something of your taste and style.

There are some beautiful kitchen design, bathrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and some incredible gardens and patios. After all, as the weather gets warmer, we want to expand our living areas to the outdoors and enjoy the sunshine more often.

Actually, the gardens found at end of this post are so beautiful that even I, who isn’t a big gardener, feel like doing a better job with my gardens during this weekend.

I hope you have a great and fun time seeing our “Interior Design Ideas”. Let me know if you enjoyed it!

A classy home is the kind of home that embraces beauty, design and respects its own architecture.

Designed by Maison Market, this home is all about large, open spaces filled with natural light and eye-catching decor. The spacious kitchen immediately grabs your full attention. Not only are the colors beautifully chosen, but also the materials, such as white marble and honed granite.

The master bedroom is yet another room that feels classy, but not too stuffy. Comfort is added with white linens, chairs and an upholstered bed.

While the entire house feels classy and elegant, all the rooms are very approachable and livable for this growing family.

I hope you feel inspired!

Classy Home

The foyer immediately makes you feel welcomed. The pendants are very unique and I like the fact they used two, instead of one. It creates more volume and balance.

Floors are 5″ Red Oak with a custom blend stain.

Dining Room

I like how cozy this dining room feels.

Dining table, if not the same, is very similar to this one from “Four Hands“.

Kitchen Design

I fell in love with this kitchen the moment I saw it! Notice the massive island. It’s basically three islands combined.

Lanterns are “Medium Round Edwardian Lantern” by Circa Lighting.

Cabinets

Beautiful colors were chosen for the cabinets. The hardware is chrome.

Eating Nook

Sunny and happy! The chairs are “Madeleine side chairs” by Restoration Hardware. Table is “Flatiron”, also by Restoration Hardware.

Family Room

The family room is full of natural light and color. Green works great against grey.

Built-ins

The built-ins keep everything organized and well-displayed.

Powder Room

Lovely powder room.

Sink: the base is from Restoration Hardware. The designer picked out the slab, sink, and faucet, which were assembled on site.

Sconce is “Reed Single Sconce” by Circa Lighting.

Staircase

Classic staircase with beautiful iron spindles.

Bedroom

Isn’t it a great master bedroom?

Paint Color is Analytical Gray SW7051 by Sherwin Williams. Rug is Artistic Weavers Eldoret1 Gray from Home Depot. Mirrors are Dubois Mirror from Crate and Barrel.

Chandelier is by Lighting Inc. in Houston.

Bathroom

The master ensuite is feminine and classic.

Sconce is “Reed Single Sconce” by Circa Lighting.

Nursery

Lovely and so perfect for a little girl! The glider is from pottery barn and the changing table is from SOHO Modern, in Little Rock, AR. The art decor can be found here.

How are you today? I hope everything is great with you! I’m very busy today, but I’m so happy it’s sunny out there. So, Ill do my errands and I’ll try to enjoy my day.

I’m off now to get the kids from school and I’ll see you again tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping by!

As summer approaches, many of us are starting to make plans for it, and if you’re tired of spending every summer in the same place year after year, perhaps this is the right time to be a little more adventurous. What about a vacation in a cottage in South Africa? Adventurous enough?

Located in Cape Winelands, Western Cape, South Africa, this rental cottage is full of charm. The interiors, inspired by the Cape Dutch elegance at this traditional thatched stone cottage which dates back to 1707, are stylish with its chandeliers, shutters and incredible thatched ceilings. The exterior is all about the vast nature that surrounds the 380 hectares, with a vineyard, the River Kromme and a beautiful pool.

It’s hard to not feel relaxed just by looking at this cottage in South Africa, now imagine actually spending your summer there!

 How are you doing today? I hope everything is wonderful with you. Today I’ll have lots to do, but I’ll also try to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine.

Take some time today to do something that makes you feel happy. We should spoil ourselves more often!

We are used to seeing beautiful homes around here, in interior magazines and while driving our cars. But what makes a house become a beautiful home? Many factors are important, such as having an attractive curb-appeal, coordinated color pallet, timeless architecture, and when it comes to the interiors, I think we can’t overlook the main room of any house: the kitchen. But in my opinion, in order for a house to be beautiful, it has to feel welcoming. You have to feel good in it. That’s only achieved with balance created by design, architecture and landscaping.

These beautiful homes are custom-built by Stonecroft Homes and most of them are not staged, therefore you’ll have to use your imagination and decorate them in your mind according to your taste (that should be fun!). I wanted to post these homes from this builder because when I visited their website I spent hours seeing and learning about the architecture and design found in these homes. Each and everyone of them are special in their own way and their exceptional craftsmanship is evident in each house.

I hope you enjoy this collection of truly beautiful homes that are impressive inside and out. Find your favorite!

 Hello everyone! It’s really nice to be back after a great weekend! Remember I mentioned I needed some quiet time for myself? Well… Why did I wish for that? It seems that whenever I seek silence, the more noise I hear… LOL But I’m not complaining! Actually, I feel very happy. We had a very busy weekend with the kids. We went to many places with them, including the beach.

Going to the beach with a toddler is not that easy, I must say. You know how toddlers like to put everything in their mouth, right? And, I don’t think anyone likes to eat sand… not that tasty.. nope! So, there you go! 

Regardless of that (not being able to close my eyes for a second), we all had a wonderful time. Being by the ocean is one of my favorites things, and like my grandmother said, the ocean takes all the “heavy stuff” away… and it actually did. I feel light, happy and blessed.

Wishing you all a very blessed and healthy week. Thank you so much for being here… what a gift!!!

With Love,

 This was a very busy week and I hope to have enough time to relax during the weekend. I feel I need time for myself, some time to be quiet and hear my own thoughts. Life can get so loud at times and sometimes all we need to do is slow down a little and get in touch with ourselves and our goals.

I hope you can have some time to understand yourself better, to answer any questions you might have inside of your heart.

Life is too precious for us to not pay attention to it. Stop, listen and keep walking knowing where you want to arrive.

Is there anything better than waking up, seeing big tall trees and a lake right in front of you? This traditional lake house is located in Minneapolis and it was designed by TEA2 Architects and the interiors are by Billy Benson Co.

The house exudes charm and beautiful decor, but what really makes this traditional lake house  feel appealing is the comfort you can find in every room.

Nothing was overlooked, yet nothing became too precious. This house feels as the simple elements were added slowly, with a big enphases on timeless architectural design.

Traditional Shingle-Style Home

The architecture of this house is charming and timeless. The beautiful window box makes the curb-appeal of this lake house even more attractive. The plants in the second floor window box are lime green and purple Sweet Potato Vine and Canna Lily.

The roof and the gable end walls are both cedar shingles. Shingle color is a 50/50 mix of Cabot’s Bleaching Oil & Weathering Stain. The steps are bluestone.

Front Door

I’m enchanted by the architecture of this space. Notice the curved walls and windows. Truly impressive.

The front door was custom-made.

Living Room Design

You can’t help by fall in love with the family room. perfectly designed and with incredible views of the lake.

The sofas are from Hickory Chair Furniture. The sofa fabric is from Highland Court – Barley Stripe.

The rug was custom designed and made by Aubry Angelo. Widows are by Marvin Windows.

Living Room & Kitchen

The fireplace stone is Northern Buff Limestone.

Paint Color: The trim and walls are Benjamin Moore Glacier White.

Kitchen Design

This island is exquisite. I love its design and how sculpture it feels in this space. I also like the windows and the glass doors on the cabinets.

The countertop is Arcadia granite. Also, notice there are three faucets. That’s a first for me!

The floors are stained walnut with hand distressing.

Dining Room

The traditional dining room is full of natural light.

Light fixtures are from Hammerton.

Powder Room

Beautiful details can be found in this room. The vanity is 36″w and it is from Black Wolf Designs. The sink can be found here. Wallpaper is by Romo.

This is the kind of porch that can make me fall in love with the house. I often prefer light colored outdoor furniture because it feels calmer and beautifully contrasts with the landscaping.

The columns are approx 11′ tall and have a circumference (at the base) of approx 4′-6″ and  the ceiling is Western Red Cedar with a clearcoat finish.

Hello everyone! It’s so great to have you here! I’m happy to share this adorable lake cottage with all of you.
 
I have to say that the warmer it gets here, the happier I feel. The beach by our house is so beautiful and the Atlantic has a deep blue color that I love. And, with this beautiful weather, comes the need to get away, preferably to a private waterfront cottage, just like this one.

Located in Grand Rapids, MI., this lakeside cottage has plenty of character and style. All the rooms have a neutral, soft color pallet which is perfect for a lake cottage surrounded by water and nature.

Designed by New Urban Home Builders, and interiors by Jennifer Butler Interior Design , this cottage seems to have everything, where timeless architecture meets quiet, comfortable and casual interiors in a very harmonious way.

Lakeside Cottage

Imagine parking your car, getting your bags and enjoying the entire summer in this lake cottage.

Architecture

The stunning architecture is brought to life with paint. Notice the architect chose three very distinct colors for the exterior.

Window Box Plants

The red flowers perfectly matches the window.

Front Door

Beautiful arches and wooden front door.

Living Room

The family room offers great space for guests and views of the lake. The double doors open to the covered patio.

Chandelier is by Restoration Hardware.

Dining Room

Imagine having your meals here with that view! The decor is perfect for a lake cottage, casual but stylish at the same time.

The light fixture is a Robert Abbey Meurice Pendant.

Kitchen Design

This is a very charming and fun kitchen! I love the window and I find the tiles very refreshing. The butcher block counters are also very appealing.

Kitchen and Family Room

A fireplace divides the kitchen from the family room.

  The pendants are by Hudson Valley and the floors are engineered walnut.

Eating Nook

There’s something very special about eating nooks. I love this banquet, the table and the mirror. Light fixture is by Hudson Valley.

Bedroom

This master bedroom has a very neutral color scheme and it feels very relaxing.

Lake Views

The views becoming the focal point with the neutral color palette used here.

Bathroom

Beautifully designed! The built-in by the window offers extra storage.

The cabinets are by Tru-Kitchens in Grand Rapids, MI.

Outdoor

This patio is very inviting with that fireplace. The fan is very unique and brings a contemporary touch, contrasting with the rest of the decor.

Back of the Cottage

Beautiful and private.

How are you doing today? I hope you’re having a great day.

Everything is fine here, but I’m a little worried because I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow and I’ll probably found out if we’re scheduling a surgery. I was talking to my mother today and she said she’s praying for me every single day. I could see how much she cares and how worried she is.

It doesn’t matter how old your child is, it seems that, if you’re a mother, you’ll always worry. Isn’t that true?

I tried to calm her down because this won’t be a very serious surgery anyways. But I have to admit that I really don’t want to go through this. I love being able to take care of everything and everyone. I’m not the kind of person that likes to depend on people to help me… I rather help them.

Well, we’ll see what happens. I’ll let you know when I find out, ok?

Now, I’m off for a walk. It’s a beautiful day out there and I want to enjoy it. I hope you have time to do the same. Enjoy your day!!!

With Love,
