Stella Cadente

I loved this post on Down and Out Chic dedicated to striking purple and blue interiors. Among the collection was this way cool guesthouse located in Provins, France. The rooms in La maison de Stella Cadente were actually designed by fashion designer Stella Cadente. Each room has its own unique personality, but my favorite is the jewel-toned "non-smoking" room above. She also designed the Salon Beaujon in the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe. The turquoise ceilings are tres fabuleux!

Turquoise Cottage Garden

This colorful hideaway featured in Le journal de la maison is the perfect escape for an afternoon nap! The cute little garden cottage is getting me pumped for the weekend (and the Spring). I'm super excited for tomorrow...we're going to another Independent Wedding Fair in Minneapolis. They're small and intimate, and oh-so-fun. We learned SO much at the last one, I totally recommend checking it out if you're engaged or know someone who is!

Stay safe and warm this weekend everyone!!

Purple Perfection

I'm almost certain that this picture perfect apartment featured on Delikatissen, most likely in some fab European city, could convince any American to down-size to 430 square feet. (Unless you live in NY, you guys already rock your small spaces!) Despite its limited size, the comfy and cozy home has such a great flow about it. Not to mention a striking color palette that I don't see nearly enough! How fun is that fabric and wallpaper?! You definitely want to see more of this home...head right this way!

Laura Ocampo

Soooooo beautiful. You can almost hear the waves outside the windows? Laura Ocampo has designed the light house by the sea in the countryside of Uruguay to meet the cool sea and the relaxed atmosphere of the campaign. I love everything in the first room ... flowy white curtains, a beautiful painting purple, white walls, floors and ceilings and soothing water. The entire house is a total escape, however.

Cool in the Kitchen

A cook's dream come true! Ok, even a person who just likes to bake the occasional batch of cookies dream come true (that'd be moi)! This kitchen from the October issue of Homes & Gardens and designed by Toni Silver at Mark Wilkinson Furniture really stores it all in style. I'd love to have a walk-in pantry to hide all my stuff. And the mix of open shelving looks great too, as does the purple on the lower cabinets. But seriously people...the backsplash...the color on that tile is droolworthy!

There's still time to enter the giveaway for your own original Laura Trevey watercolor painting!
