I’m so excited to be back on the blog and sharing these photos with you all today! Over spring break, my family and I flew to Savannah and stayed in Chu Cottage, an absolutely delightful beach house on Tybee Island designed by none other than Jane Coslick. If you follow my blog, you already know any home designed by Jane is truly my “happy place” and this one is no exception! Unlike many of her other projects I’ve visited, this one is a relatively new home. I just love how Jane infused her signature use of color, character and charm into every space….talk about FUN!!! The house was big (five bedrooms!) and there were really neat details around every corner–so I couldn’t help but take a lot of photos trying to capture the magic!

The color scheme is as happy as can be!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might recognize the dining room. Still one of my favorite spaces in the home. LOVE those pink pendants. And what a genius move to use the turquoise zebra rug as wall art!

I loved everything about this tropical-inspired bedroom on the main floor, especially the drapery fabric and artwork.

The whimsical shower curtain gives this bathroom new life–perfect for a beach house!

I’m obsessed with this turquoise bunk room! The hand-painted signs, the Stray Dog Designs pendant and mirror, the beautiful pillows…not to mention my favorite color combo going on!

The bunk room is connected to this cheery jack and jill bathroom. Happy to see Jane loves Target as much as I do…the colorful bath accessories couldn’t be cuter! The artwork by Karen Fields is fabulous too!

Words can’t even describe how fresh this guest room felt! Favorite things here: artwork by Jane’s talented assistant Anna Lee, the fabulous pillow and Stray Dog Designs lamps.

The spacious master bedroom was all kinds of bright and happy! Such a fun mix of color, pattern and texture.

The whale light fixture adds a ton of character to the master bathroom.

My kids (2 and 5) loved sleeping in this little bunk room in the master bedroom…it was small and cozy and (most importantly I think!) close to where we were sleeping!

This was the sight that welcomed you when you walked in!

And here is one of two beautiful porches on Chu Cottage. The ocean is just right down the block and you can feel the breezes!

If you are planning a trip to Tybee Island, I highly recommend checking out Chu Cottage! (Especially if you have a large group, as it sleeps 14.) The home is clearly dreamy, but the location couldn’t be any better either. The beach is just a half a block away! Not only that but it’s super close to the restaurants and shops too. I want to go back!!!

For all the rental info and lots more pics, go here!

There’s nothing better than a bunk room when it comes to sleeping a crowd. Whether it’s used by cousins, friends, or even adults, this incredible space designed by Bayberry Cottage is the epitome of fun! The vibrant summertime colors are perfect for the lakefront vacation home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I think what I love most are all of the unique architectural details throughout. (So many clever storage solutions!) It’s hard to believe the space used to be an unfinished room above a garage! Keep on scrolling to see of rest of this colorful space captured by Ashley Avila!

How smart are the drawers in the steps?! Such a great use of space.

Love the detail on the guard rails and all of the little niches!

The airy wall color (Benjamin Moore Kensington Green 710 – “lightened”) is the perfect backdrop for the layers of pattern.

I imagine lost of laughs happen in this nook! More smart storage in the built-in bench.

Again with the storage! Check out those fab turquoise knobs on the custom lockers.

Loving everything about this bathroom painted Benjamin Moore Heavenly Blue 709 “lightened”.

…especially that shimmery turquoise accent tile in the shower!!

It’s not too often I get the opportunity to share a mountain home infused with turquoise! Acorn Falls Cottage is a newly-renovated 1900’s historic vacation rental cottage nestled in the woods, yet close to downtown Highlands, North Carolina. It was designed by Missy Woolf (the talent behind The Salty Mermaid Cottage, one of my favorite homes on Tybee Island!) I love that she kept much of the original charm of the cottage while giving it a fresh, updated look with rustic luxe furnishings, fabulous local artwork, and fun colorful fabric…not to mention plenty of turquoise to go around! And these photographs by Sarah Ingram capture everything so beautifully!

Oh how I’d love to enjoy my morning coffee on this porch! Love the porch swing from Ballard Design. The porch rockers from Grandin Road below are great too! (I’ll include a lot more sources at the bottom of the post.)

Loving this custom-made sign by AR Workshop!

The door painted Benjamin Moore’s Dark Harbor CSP-720 is a taste of what’s to come…

My favorite thing in the living room is the barn artwork by Atlanta-based artist Lindsey P. Emery. Actually all of the artwork throughout the home is fantastic. Each piece was commissioned just for Acorn Falls Cottage! So much talent!

No typical white cabinets here, these beauties are also painted Benjamin Moore’s Dark Harbor CSP-720.

The custom-made reclaimed wood island was built by Rhett Smith of RS Custom Furnishings. The pendants from Hinkley Lighting are fab too!

Some rustic details and another great barn artwork by Lindsey P. Emery.

The master bedroom might be my favorite space in the cottage. So much to drool over…the bedding, the chandelier, the artwork–especially the incredible painting by Savannah-based artist Bellamy Murphy!

I also adore this colorful painting by Elaine Burge.

The gorgeous turquoise chandelier from Ballard Designs is such a showstopper!

Beautiful landscape painting by Fred Cox Fine Art.

Who wouldn’t want to be a guest in this cozy bedroom? The pillow covered in Madcap Cottage’s Windsor Park adds a touch of whimsy to the bed.

Yet another stunning piece by Elaine Burge. Love those colors!

The 2nd guest bedroom has the most adorable beds from Ballard Designs. Notice the carved bird detail!

The rolling hills on the pillow pair perfectly with the artwork by Fred Cox.

The guest bathroom is filled with charm. There’s something about old doorknobs that get me every time.

Artist Lindsey P. Emery created both the bear art and barn art just for this cottage.

The outside of Acorn Falls Cottage is magical! Relaxing on one of the hanging chairs from Serena & Lily with a good book would be the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

And nothing beats a campfire on a chilly evening!

A BIG thanks to Missy for sharing her sources with me! I’ll list more below, but if there’s something else you’re curious about just ask.

When I first started blogging back in 2007, one of the very first designers I fell in love with was Tracey Rapisardi. If you’re a fan of coastal cottage style, I guarantee you’ve drooled over her work many times over! (Turquoise-lovers will undoubtedly remember this fabulous pool house!) I adore her signature easy, breezy style: plenty of clean white accented with beachy pastels, layers of fresh, fun pattern, not to mention a skillful mix of old and new.

I was super excited to learn that Tracey Rapisardi is coming out with her first book, Simply by the Sea, covering all the charms of living by the sea. (Learn how to win a copy below!) Not only did she design all the spaces in the book, but she styled and photographed them as well! And what a dream they are…. *sigh*

Cozy and comfortable, a splash of color and simple nods to the beach. I cannot wait to see more!

The beautiful images above are all from her new book, but I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of my favorite designs by Tracey. I know many of you will remember the designer’s previous home in Scarborough, Maine. (She now resides sunny Sarasota, Florida.) I just love the light, airy vibe and pastel hues throughout these inspiring spaces below captured by Kindra Clineff and styled by Tracey Rapisardi. See my post here for even more images of the home.

Next I have to revisit one of my all-time favorites…the Coastal Living Idea Cottage of 2008 in Scarborough, Maine designed by Tracey Rapisardi and photographed by Jean Allsopp. (See my post with more pics here.)

How incredible is the view?! Loving the ceiling too painted Seaside Retreat Summer Sorbet (SR1011) by Valspar.

The spa-like bathroom is painted Martha Stewart Araucana Blue MS313.

What fun to have a craft room! This one is painted Seaside Retreat Summer Sorbet SR1011 by Valspar.

Next are some images I’ve yet to share on here but absolutely love. No one does turquoise and pink better than Tracey!

Lastly I can’t forget to include the amazing Florida home that Tracey designed for her daughter Mandi. I’ll share just a couple photos of that, but be sure to check out the full tour with even more fabulous photos by Tracey Rapisardi here!

Well there you have it…I’m sure you can see why this designer ranks as one of my favorites! If there’s something above that catches your eye, chances are it’s available through Tracey Rapisardi Design–just contact them for more info. And if you’re lucky enough to be in the Sarasota area, a visit to her daughter Mandi’s adorable shop Summer + Company looks like a must. Their online store Sweet Summer has some beautiful things too!

Be sure to check out all things Simply by the Sea or purchase it here!

Never in a million years did I plan to take so much time off from my blog! It’s crazy how a tiny new baby can turn your world upside down. If you follow me on Instagram, you know sweet Rosalie entered our lives on November 21st. I’m telling you it has been a roller coaster ever since! Having a baby in the winter has been the worst (especially in Minnesota…especially with the winter we’ve had this year!) and I am so looking forward to spring. After seeing this gorgeous Raleigh, North Carolina home in Fairview Row designed by Claudia Beck Interiors, I can almost feel it!

cozy turquoise den

I was surprised to learn this stunning home (captured by photographer Smith Hardy) is actually a condo; one of fourteen units in Fairview Row–a collection of three newly-built, historically-inspired condominium buildings in the heart of Hayes Barton neighborhood in Five Points. The homes have all the charm of traditional architecture with the best of modern finishes and layouts.

cozy turquoise den

The interior of this home is decidedly traditional, yet it feels light and bright thanks to the color palette of aqua, mineral green and cream that flows throughout.

turquoise and green dining room

Doesn’t the striped fabric on the chairs give this timeless dining room such a fresh look?

elegant living room

The formal living room took my breath away!

traditional living room

I’m loving how the designer incorporated the homeowners’ love of the water with coastal artwork. The perfect complement to the color scheme!

piano room

 The fretwork in the transoms is such a beautiful detail.

elegant powder bath

Love everything about this powder bathroom, especially the Thibaut wallpaper!

white kitchen
beautiful turquoise bedroom

Oh how I’d love to wake up each morning in this master bedroom painted Benjamin Moore 638 Pure Essence. The French doors had me at hello!

master bathroom

I can just imagine how well this beautiful building blends in with the historical homes in the neighborhood. Absolutely gorgeous! You can read all about Fairview Row and see more photos here! Visit Beacon Street Development for even more inspiring homes and neighborhoods!

My first post back wouldn’t be complete without a few pictures of our new little bundle! Meet Rosalie Mae…

Mirabel and Wesley couldn’t love her any more. It’s now been three months (#timeflies) and they are still just as obsessed with her as the day she came home!

So these three cuties are why I haven’t been blogging…I’ve been seriously exhausted! Now that Rosie is sleeping better at night, I’m hoping to post more regularly. (Especially if she figures out that napping is actually a good thing!) I’ve truly missed sharing beautiful turquoise spaces with you all, not to mention keeping up on social media. Feels so good to be back! 🙂

I promise you guys I am NOT done blogging!! This pregnancy has just been taking its toll on me–thankfully I only have 10 weeks or so left to go! Cannot wait! And I cannot wait for you guys to see the Geoff Chick masterpiece I have for you today. It’s easy to see why this architect is one of the most well-respected along 30A in Florida…not to mention one of my own personal favorites! I’ve yet to see a home he’s designed that hasn’t blown me away. Geoff Chick worked with builder Chris Clark Construction and Atlanta-based interior designers Robyn Prince & Marianne Temple (the same dream team behind one of my all-time favorite homes here) to craft this elegant yet inviting WaterColor beach home filled with incredible architectural details, stunning craftsmanship, and an airy coastal vibe I adore. Sit back and enjoy these beautiful photos by photographer Jack Gardner!


I’m loving the splashes of blue and turquoise that accent the predominately neutral home.


So many striking details in the open-concept living area…the coffered ceiling is especially gorgeous!


Perfect proportions are paired with beautiful textures in the gourmet kitchen. Check out the custom-built stainless steel hood!


Like the rest of the home, the bedrooms are filled with relaxing natural and neutral tones with touches of blue.


So many great custom built-in details around every corner.


Who wouldn’t love to be a guest in this dreamy carriage house?!


The two master suites on the second level each have their own private balcony. What a dream!


Not to mention the view….


…and 75 foot lap pool!

Amazing, right?! To see many more incredible projects by Geoff Chick & Associates, be sure to check out their Facebook page and follow them on Instagram. And for more turquoise-filled projects I’ve featured by this talented architect, go here!

With a new baby on the way, my family and I have been trying to fit in as much fun as possible this summer. Our favorite adventure so far has been a trip to my happy place–Tybee Island! Of course a visit to this quirky little island outside Savannah wouldn’t be complete without a stay at a beach cottage designed by preservationist and interior designer Jane Coslick. One of her recently completed projects is As Time Goes By–now a vacation rental through Tybee Cottages when the lucky family isn’t using it themselves. Like all of Jane’s projects, I was immediately transported into the pages of Coastal Living magazine when I opened the door. The home itself is gorgeous and filled with historic character…it was built in 1924 and is one of the original Strand Cottages built on Tybee. There is no replicating the charming original features like the soaring 14′ ceilings, transom windows, hardwood floors and beadboard walls. Jane honored the history of the home while giving it a fresh new look with her signature use of splashy color (including plenty of turquoise!) on a soothing white background. She worked her magic throughout, brilliantly mixing high-end pieces with budget-friendly finds and achieving the perfect blend of old and new. Talk about inspiring!

I struggled to edit down the number of pictures to share with you guys, so settle in and enjoy the tour!


My favorite space in the entire home was this dreamy sleeping porch (painted Albuquerque Teal 607 by Benjamin Moore). The best spot for a nap with the sea breeze blowing in! Did I mention the cottage is located just one house away from the beach?!


The porch led you into the bright and airy living room. My favorite element here was the original artwork painted by South Carolina artist Susan Skelley. Above it, floral art Jane Coslick found at HomeGoods.


The colors in the landscape art from Pier 1 couldn’t be more perfect.


The dining room was another favorite area….what’s not to love about those original windows, the dining table and chairs, and the absolutely fabulous turquoise Ro Sham Beaux chandelier!!


I absolutely loved this artwork by the talented Georgia-based artist Elaine Burge, not to mention the Stray Dog Designs mirror below.


The colorful Lulie Wallace plates and serving pieces from Anthropologie were the first thing the homeowner bought for the house and were the launching point for Jane Coslick’s design plan. Not only stunning, surprisingly they are made of melamine and perfect for a beach house. (Unfortunately they are no longer available but I did find some on ebay.)


The kitchen brought me back to my childhood and all the time I spent in my grandparents’ century-old farmhouse. The kids loved eating at the big island!


Such a great mix of colors, textures and patterns in the master bedroom. In a genius budget-friendly move, Jane had the artwork above the bed created from a shower curtain!


I wanted to take the Poppy and Fritz comforter home with me. And notice the old transom operator on the window….so neat!


The double queen bedroom had some beautiful, beachy elements. Loving those turquoise wicker headboards!


I’ve never seen such a tall staircase–it really goes to show how high the ceilings are.


How cute is the little “watch your head” reminder…


…and these turquoise silhouettes of the family’s littles and pup from Le Papier Studio!


The colorful upstairs TV room was totally up my alley. The Anthropologie rug, whimsical artwork and patterned pillows could only be topped by the view of the ocean in the distance! I love how Jane incorporated the children’s art into her design.


What a fun place to play games, thanks to Stray Dog Designs! Those stools are awesome!


What kid doesn’t love a bunk room?! Each bunk had its own light switch and outlet. The palm quilts are great too!


Don’t you seriously love the old hardwood floors? The antique headboard and quilt are beautiful too.


My kids loved taking their baths in this original clawfoot tub. (I loved the cute shower curtain and rug from Target!)

Going back downstairs to the entry hall next to the kitchen…


Love this adorable sign created by one of the homeowners’ kiddos.


And the tropical artwork by Hilton Head Island, SC-based artist Karley Kiker paired with the unique chandelier!


As Time Goes By is surrounded by wide turquoise-filled porches on three sides (including the biggest wraparound porch I’ve ever seen!)


So much room for reading, relaxing or dining. We couldn’t get enough of the ping pong table and outdoor speaker system!

Trust me I never wanted to leave! If you’re thinking of visiting Tybee Island (do it!), I highly recommend checking out As Time Goes By. For rental information and more photos, just visit Tybee Cottages. And for even more eye candy and inspiration, be sure to follow As Time Goes By and Jane Coslick on Instagram.

First off, I’m so sorry to have been MIA on the blog for so long! If you follow me on Instagram, you now know why…I’m pregnant with #3! Our new baby girl is due December 3 and we are all so excited…especially Wesley and Mirabel! The first trimester was rough, hence my absence here and on social media. But things finally feel like they are turning around! I’m excited to be back blogging though I’ll admit posts probably won’t be regular from here out. It’s not easy juggling two little ones plus one on the way!

I’ve been antsy to share this absolutely delightful beach cottage with you guys! Chatterbox, a Harbour Island, Bahamas classic colonial designed by New York-based Trish Becker, was featured last summer in Coastal Living–photographed by Annie Schlechter and styled by Liz Strong. Located in the heart of Dunmore Town, the cottage was built in the late 1800’s and embodies old world Bahamian charm. The designer worked with de la Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, Inc. and Owen Higgs Construction to restore the historic home to its original glory, filling the home with colors, patterns and textures perfect for a Carribiean getaway!


The color palette is downright dreamy! The siding is painted Powdered Petals while the shutters are painted Minerva, both by Pittsburgh Paints.


The tile inlay on the front porch, a reproduction of the original, is such a unique detail. LOVE the swing too!


I love how China Seas Aga Reverse updates the look of the sofa.


I need those fabulous hoop-back chairs (in Cooled Blue finish) from Red Egg!


The bench covered in Quadrille’s Kazak fabric totally makes the dining area!


The master bedroom is total perfection. Love the Suzanne Kasler for Ballard Designs headboard covered in China Seas New Batik.


So much charm in this simple white guestroom.


Loving the breezy Dutch doorway leading out to a turquoise-filled rooftop deck.


You can see 360-degree views of the island and the ocean from the the widow’s walk!

What’s not to love?! I’m happy to report the cottage is available to rent through VRBO! For the story behind the home and to learn more sources, read the article on Coastal Living. The designer Trish Becker has lovingly restored two other cottages on Harbour Island (also available to rent)…check them out here. Take a look at her beautiful jewelry line too!

With the help of Nashville-based interior designer Sarah Bartholomew, that is exactly what the lucky homeowner of this 1926 Georgian Revival was able to do! Photographed by Emily Followill and gracing the cover of the May/June issue of Traditional Home, the stately home is brimming with fresh, cheery hues and artfully mixed patterns. The entryway above is a stunning introduction to the springy palette woven throughout the home. Loving the center hall table covered in Quadrille’s “Veneto” fabric!


The blue stools and Coleen & Company scalloped lanterns add a dash of color to the white kitchen.


So in love with the “Bird and Thistle” wallpaper by Brunschwig & Fils. Gorgeous detail on the chairs too!


The homeowner has some amazing collections, including the Chinese porcelain vases and jars lining the mantel.


So many beautiful details in the daughter’s bedroom. You know I’m digging the color palette too!

There’s still a lot more to see…to finish the tour, read all about the home and learn sources, visit Traditional Home. And for more beautiful and inspiring designs by Sarah Bartholomew, visit her website and Instagram. I seriously can’t get enough of her signature fresh spin on traditional style!

There’s so much design talent based out of my home state of Minnesota…one of my favorites being Bria Hammel Interiors. I absolutely adore her bright, fresh and feminine style! Bria’s designs are nothing short of beautiful, functional and inviting and this Minneapolis home is no exception. The talented designer worked with Stephen Longman Builders to completely restore and update the charming 1925 Tudor captured by Spacecrafting, filling it with layers of pattern and a palette of pretty pastels that flow seamlessly throughout the home. I just couldn’t get over the living room when I first saw it–the colors, patterns and textures, all downright perfection!


The gorgeous Caitlin Wilson rug was the jumping-off point for the space. Loving the spindle chairs too!


I love how the designer gave the existing fireplace new life by adding a custom shiplap surround.


I can’t stop drooling over every inch of this dining room, especially the chairs and chandelier.


The kitchen is an absolute dream. So many stunning custom details everywhere you look!


The palette of cool blues, whites, and grays make the master bedroom a tranquil getaway.


It wouldn’t be a Bria Hammel design without some fab wallpaper! The colors in the Caitlin Wilson wallpaper are perfect for the home.


This might be my dream mudroom! LOVE the dutch door and custom “hello” script in the tile. So fun!
