Jamie Herzlinger

So luxurious! I wouldn't mind being a guest in either of these two rooms designed by Jamie Herzlinger, a talented interior designer with offices in both Scottsdale, Arizona and New York City. The patterned walls and carpeting are such a treat for the eyes! And I'm in love with that chic tufted headboard. You definitely want to see the more from Jamie's portfolio, it's filled with the most elegant, sophisticated rooms!

Miles Redd + The Winner!

I have to admit I never picked up an issue of Town & Country until Stephen Drucker took over. Not sure what it was like before, but his first issue impressed me. This Atlanta home designed by color genius Miles Redd and photographed by Francesco Lagnese is opulence at its finest. The living room?? The walls are covered in stretched turquoise silk satin. The dressing room? Hand painted de Gournay wallaper. And the breathtaking bedroom floor?? Oscar de la Renta leopard-print carpet. I love the fashion sketches in the bathroom covering the platinum blue Boussac Tarentelle wallpaper too. Oh the other half!

Time to announce the lucky winner of the Candace Rose giveaway!

Tyler of Tyler's Taste Tests!!!

And with that happy news, I'm going to turn off my computer and get ready for my trip to New York! I leave tomorrow morning and will be gone 10 whole days. Yay! I asked some of my favorite bloggers to entertain and inspire us with their favorite turquoise spaces. You'll love it. In addition, you can still check out Everything Turquoise...I have 50 posts scheduled on there! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just stopping in with these images from Gourmet magazine to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! I want you to know how very thankful I am for you guys...all of your comments, support, enthusiasm, photos, and of course, for our shared love of all things turquoise!

I also want to wish my step-mom Diana a very happy birthday today too!!! I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating! I wish I could be there!

Emily Gilbert

I love the warm yet refined vibe of this room captured by Emily Gilbert, a photographer out of New York City. (Remember these rooms?? Her talent too!) This space was actually part of the New Jersey designer showhouse Mansion in May and was designed by Christine Thompson. I love the ribbon detailing on the sofa, and how it's mirrored in the stripes on the painting above. All of the molding is absolutely breathtaking too!

A bit of sad news to share today. Last week my grandma passed away, so I'm headed down to Iowa today to say goodbye, and to celebrate her life with my family. My grandma has always been a huge inspiration to me in countless ways, and I'm so grateful that she lived to be 90. She will always continue to inspire me, but I'm going to miss her so much...

I'll see you guys back here on Friday.

Grandma and me on her 90th birthday back in May

Roberts Erickson Design

I'm dishing out the eye-candy today, complements of Roberts Erickson Design (remember that fab bedroom they designed?) The owners of this eclectic Myrtle Beach home featured in Grand Strand Magazine live here full-time, but still wanted to have a vacation vibe. They were very adamant about keeping things neutral, so pops of colors were brought in to create a look that coexists with the ocean-side landscape. The result is beachy, but not in a literal way. What I love the most is that the couple didn't start all over from scratch, they wanted to keep a lot of their original furniture and accessories. They just wanted an update. I'd say they got that and more! Too read all about their home, head here!

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!

“The Aerie” by Benjamin Dhong

Ooh la la! This sitting room designed by Benjamin Dhong is a meditation on winged flight. Located in the tower attic of the 2010 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, the room was inspired by a romantic Parisian garret. I love the serene vibe of the space, it really feels like a cozy nest (albeit an incredibly chic one!) The fabrics on the pillows are scrumptious and add the perfect pop of color to the room!

Civility Design

How captivating are these photos?! Chicago-based Civility Design created this vibrant home and I'm absolutely loving it. So much personality, so much FUN! The Fontana Arte chandelier in the living room is fantastic! And those bold fuchsia sofas?? Yum yum! If you love this, you better check out their site...so much more colorful eye-candy awaits!
