coastal modern in montauk
I’m not usually one to fawn over super sparse, uber modern spaces (I like to fill up each and every crevice of my home with my “stuff”) but I am OBSESSED with this Montauk lake house! A main house, a three-bedroom guest house, a BARN, and a 50-foot lap pool, situated amongst some of the…

get the look: hamptons guest house
Great things come in small packages and this Hamptons pool house-turned-guest house/couple’s retreat is a fabulous example. I’ve loved this little slice of heaven, which was actually part of Traditional Home’s 2009 Showhouse, since it was first published…I still have the dog eared issue amongst my hoard of magazines! Comfy, oversize furnishings, a blue, gold…

When I first saw the pictures of Lauren Weisbarth’s Los Angeles home tour on One King’s Lane blog, I nearly fell off my chair! Lauren is the little sis of Alison Pincus, co-founder of One King’s Lane, who, along with designer Hillary Thomas, helped transform Lauren’s house into a light, bright haven with crisp color,…

shingle-style in sagaponack
Shingle-style homes make me weak in the knees – I dream of the day when the hubby retires from the military and we can move back to the beach….into a shingle-style cottage of our own (fingers crossed!) In the meantime, trolling MLS every now and then for shingled “shacks” near the beach has become a…

One of my all-time favorite house tours EVER was of graphic designer Ashley Putman’s Houston home in Lonny a few years ago – remember that gorgeous cobalt blue dining room? The girl can accessorize a room like no one’s business! Lauren of Semi-Designed Life gave us another intimate peek (and a ton of amazing photos)…

scott currie’s chic southampton retreat
Being married to a Marine, I can appreciate incorporating nautical elements into your decor…heck, I’ve got quite a bit in my own home that just happens to also have personal meaning (hello, nautical charts!) I think there’s a fine line between tasteful and kitschy when it comes to piling on beach-themed accessories, though, and fashion…

sarah kaplan home tour
I must have been living under a rock to not have ever seen the home of Sarah Kaplan, owner of interior design wonder Dovecote in Westport, Connecticut until now! Just like her shop, her home is eclectic, elegant and a little exotic (hello, antelope carpet, leopard couch and giraffe pillows!), yet she manages to pull…

kelly mcguill home
I’ve always been a fan of the “less is more” design philosophy-simple and classic will never go out of style and interior designer/photo stylist/blogger extraordinaire Kelly McGuill is a pro at nailing this aesthetic each and every time. I’ve been following Kelly’s blog for a while now and have always been drawn to her clean…

I fell head over heels in love with designer Mark D. Sikes home the moment I saw it gracing the cover of House Beautiful last January. This house has gotten some serious love online, thanks to the fabulous Heather Clawson who posted pics here and here from her personal tour and then again last week…

john derian’s makeunder
There’s nothing I like more than a good design before and after, especially when it’s underdone as opposed to over decorated and John Derian’s Manhattan abode in the East Village is a beautiful example. I absolutely loved his rustic summer retreat in Connecticut, so I was not surprised to have fallen in love with his…
