Interior designer Victoria Hagan is a girl after my own heart.  While I love to play with color and fun pattern, it’s serene color palettes, classic detailing, tons of texture and lots of white to which I always end up turning in the long run.  Her renovated Georgian-style home in Southport Harbor, Connecticut, is a perfect example of how style and grace can go hand-in-hand with form and function.  Every room is tailored and sophisticated, yet casual enough for a young family to kick their feet up and relax.  I love it all!

That ivy-clad exterior…be still my heart!

I could get used to waking up to that view!

Emerald greenery and hedges are a lush backdrop for that jawdropping swimming pool:

The living room is my absolute favorite-two-toned linen curtain panels soften wall-to-wall windows (and gorgeous transoms!) and oversize, slipcovered furniture and an understated color palette are a casual offset to that gorgeous coffered ceiling:

Navy blue velvet chairs and an antique Swedish brass chandelier steal the show in the dining room:

Pops of navy blue are a fresh addition to the living room:

A damask-covered wing chair adds a dose of color and pattern to an otherwise neutral corner in the living room:

Just another reason I will never tire of all-white kitchens…those Urban Archaeology pendant lights provide some contrast to the light-filled spot.  The farmhouse sink, glass-front cabinets and marble countertops are a breath of fresh air:

Antique botanical prints, planked walls and an old farmhouse table add character and interest to the  all-white dining area:

I want to dive head-first onto that bed:

Gorgeous teal and cream Gracie wallpaper in the powder bath make me want to paper my whole house:

Blue silk curtain panels suspended from antique brass hardware and that wingback, decked out in nailhead trim are delicious:
