Clean and Crisp

Love the clean crisp look of the white and coral.  The nailhead headboard looks great with this set.

Beach Bound

Of course leave it up to me to have to stop every few feet in the hotel we stayed at to snag pictures of the decor.  Last weekend my husband and I flew down to Ft. Lauderdale for a wedding. The formerly known Yankee Clipper hotel is now the Sheraton. They didn't skip a beat with this renovation. I absouletly loved the way they had it set-up. I must have exclaimed every time we walked through the lobby. I was very close to asking them "What color is this on the walls?" Here are a few pics from my blackberry. Of course I didn't think to bring a camera. Loved the aqua and white decor.  Was this not gorgeous!?  I had to have my friend Beverly take a pose in the living room section. 

HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2010

Most years I am smitten with HGTV dream homes. There are definetly years that I like the style and design more than others. One year I had the pleasure of touring one as it was in my home state. I will have to try and dig up those photos and share. It was such a neat experience to get to tour the home in person. This year I have to say that I love this cottage by the water. One of my favorites this year is the porch.  Love the classic white house with all the pops of red furniture.  I could see myself out there with a cup of coffee.

Coastal View

I am trying to get some ideas for woodwork in a bedroom, I like the woodwork that was done in this room.  I do love white/brown or cream/brown together.  This room has a lot of symmetry in the way it is decorated.  Five stars!

Coral Inspired

This coral inspired

bedding would look great in a beach home or any home for that matter. 

Punchy

I love this punchy color combo. The turquoise with the green is so vibrant and fun. The lamps just happen to be fabulous too. Images from Phoebe Howard

Happy New Year (inspiration)

I am loving this project labeled Island House, images and designer found here. What I like about this project is the symmetry in the room. You can see this throughout the rooms. Too many details to list on what all I like. But, take the tour yourself down below. How gorgeous are are all the french doors and windows!? I love when a home has a ton of natural light.

Balance

Decorating bookcases can sometimes be tricky. This is a great example of balance and the use of natural elements. The use of the blue and white paired together is a nice combination.

Coastal Dreaming Take II

Here are a few more dreamy coastal photos that sparked my interest....
Now in my current house I could not imagine a fish on the wall of any sort, but at the beach casa I could totally work with this. I love the simple green jars with a touch of outdoors brought in.

I like the use of the dark blue and white color schemes through out.

Check out the bedroom, loving this too! I'm missing the beach and water can you tell? I am thinking I could live with this set up at the beach, couldn't you. That crisp and clean bedroom is gorgeous.
