GAME MANIA

A neutral color palette can soar when layered with touches of color, lots of textures and interesting objects. I recently came across two homes in Architectual Digest , each individual and quite contrasted in style. The first, a modern home located in the hills of California by designer Emily Summers, the second is Suzanne Kasler's classic regency style home and property in Atlanta, Georgia. I am loving the quality of light and sculptural feel of the furniture in each of these homes. The landscaping, though very different, also beautifully and cohesively compliments the interiors (and vice versa). This is an amazing little powder room. The outdoor space is a beautiful extension of the indoors. I would live in this room! I adore this yellow sofa and the dining light fixture! I never tire of classic white kitchens! Gorgeous! The outdoor spaces and patio are STUNNING on the property of Suzanne Kasler's home!!

As most of you know I'm planning to move within the next six months or so. (fingers crossed) This is exciting and scary on a number of levels. I don't have a huge budget for a home but I believe if I find a little house I can make it a beautiful spot for my children and me! I'd like it to be small in scale, and near the ocean. Any of these homes would be perfect! I've been holding on to the top image for years now and below is my newest favorite. I adore L.A. style bungalows or sweet cape styles that were built in the 40's-60's. Happy Friday! This is my newest favorite!!

I should have known when my sister and I as kids spotted and kept track of "pretty houses" on road trips with our parents instead of playing punch buggy that I would someday have a love of architecture and design. Thought I'd share some "pretty homes" with you today! I've just returned from a brief but much needed break. I hope you all had an amazing 4 th !
