Summer Thornton Design







How posh and pretty darn cool is this Chicago penthouse designed by Summer Thornton Design?! I just love her philosophy: "To make the design process unpretentious, fun and fresh. Mixing high and low, rough and polished, classic and irreverent, her designs utilize contrast to engage the senses". Check her portfolio, you'll see exactly that. But before you go, scroll back up and look at the first image again. I died and went to heaven...

Womack Interiors







Here's the poolside cabana from the same Decorators’ Show House & Gardens that I shared yesterday. Designed by Cheryl Womack and Alison Womack Jowers of Womack Interiors out of Atlanta, the space feels elegant and carefree at the same time. Love that blue ceiling and collection of glass bottles! (And the cute little pup!)

Meg Adams




This dining room designed by Meg Adams from the 40th annual Decorators’ Show House & Gardens and featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyle magazine is absolutely breathtaking! Of course, our beloved Marjorie Skouras chandelier is the crowing jewel, but I'm drooling over the Obsorne & Little fabric too. The photography by Erica George Dines really is stunning here, perfectly captures the space. I just can't handle all this beauty!

Update: The fabric is called "Grove Garden" - pattern number F5633/02. It's from Osborne & Little's Miradouro Collection. You can see it here!

Happy Labor Day!


I just had to bop in today to share with you this cool bedroom photographed by Gilles Trillard for Elle Decoration. Guess who it belongs to?? Jonathan Adler, of course! I have to admit, I'd never think to use that color on the walls with turquoise and orange, but it serves as the perfect background for all the bold color. And all the pattern! I am really digging the David Hicks carpet combined with the damask. And the colorful LeRoy Nieman plates are so fab too! Enjoy the holiday everyone!

Vintage Guest Cottage








Love at first sight. That's what it was when I spotted this comfy guest cottage on Chic Coles yesterday. Photographed by Janis Nicolay and featured in Style at Home magazine, this cottage was designed by Colleen Sawatsky, owner of Vintage Home in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The colors, oh the colors...all so pretty! The breezy painted floors and furniture, delightful fabrics, crisp white walls, there is not one thing that I don't absolutely LOVE about this home! I hope you all enjoyed it too, and have the best Labor Day weekend ever!

Janet Simon





These bedrooms from the portfolio of New Jersey designer Janet Simon are nothing short of beautiful! The rooms are so serene, perfect for unwinding after a long day. That first bedroom in particular is completely stunning...my gosh look at those windows! I LOVE the headboard and bedskirt fabric in the last image too. Have a look at her portfolio here, the living spaces are equally as beautiful!

Buckingham Interiors









The sitting room in this home designed Julia Edelmann of Buckingham Interiors + Design has to be one of the neatest I've seen! I am absolutely dying here over that fabric (Flowershow from Christopher Carr), the colors and oversize botanical print are complete perfection. (And the chairs look comfy too!) How awesome are those barstools in the kitchen?! They're covered in vinyl, but the nail heads keep them looking très cool! See more of the home here!
