Cottage Bedroom Makeover

Does it get any better than this 1920s stucco cottage in East Hampton designed by House Beautiful contributing editor Frances Schultz? I'm madly in love with her master suite, which used to be the two tiny front bedrooms. All of the fabulous blue on the walls and pretty fabrics, the half canopy, and the dressing table! And the study...what a perfect place to blog! The photographs by Trevor Tondro really capture it all so beautifully too. To see before-n-afters of the space, head to House Beautiful!

I'm so happy it's Friday! Believe it or not, 6 weeks from today Chris and I will be getting married. (Didn't we just get engaged?!) Tonight I'm meeting with a hair and makeup artist to go over my vision and on Sunday Chris' super sweet sisters are throwing me a wedding shower! My very own wedding shower...I can't believe it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend too!

Costas Picadas

When the proportion of AM child's room above his blog Cape Cod Design, I had a suspicion the rest of the house photographed by Costas Picadas must be damn cool too. So I did some research and found several photos of the party blue and white on the Greek island of Mykonos. These funky chandeliers are great and I want them all. While we're at it, I'll get spectacular views too! See more photos here!

The Sag Harbor Express

I love it when I'm walking down the street and run into something like this. The Sag Harbor Express has an adorable building on Main Street in Sag Harbor, New York with the cutest turquoise door and shutters. But right next door is the Kramoris Gallery with the juiciest lime green door. I wonder if they planned that because my oh my it looked gooood!

Bahamas Salt Box

I posted a different photograph of this bedroom taken by Paul Massey back in October, but yesterday when Simply Seleta mentioned that this room was one of two images that encompassed her design style, I learned that it was designed by Tom Scheerer. A little trip to his portfolio showed me even more of this beautiful Bahamas Salt Box. What a dreamy little retreat!

Beside the Point

I know I just got home from vacation, but after seeing images in Coastal Living of the seaside rental cottage "Beside the Point" in Harbour Island, I immediately wanted to pack my bags again and head to the Bahamas (who am I kidding though, I haven't unpacked yet...!). I did a little search to find more images...this coastal cottage is way too cute! (Images via Coastal Living, John McCardy Architect and Island Real Estate).
