... A Classic!

In a village near downtown Hollywood, Tia Zoldan turned a plain 1920's cottage into a classic gem!
Each room has personality and is timeless. Notice how she cheers up the home with bright colored furniture:

I love the cranberry/mint color scheme in her daughter's room!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Whitewashed California Beach House!

Carolyn Espley-Miller designed this beautiful beach home in California!

Many of you know I'm obsessed with the clean, soft look of white.

White creates the perfect pallet foundation for cape cod, Gustavian/Swedish, French and Belgian decor.

Thanks to House Beautiful, we're able to enjoy this perfect dreamy beach home!

... notice how Carolyn incorporates the feel of a cafe' in Paris

Such a simple but beautiful entryway!  The little details pop!

... It's all in the details!

This bedroom mantel is made from a wooden French window frame from Lucca antiques.

... incredible!

Notice the barn doors with their original seafoam color make up the bed's headboard.

Nothing I love more than large comfy sofas and vintage dhurrie rugs!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

Fresh... Clean Home Ideas!

I first off want to apologize for the slow blogging this summer.

I can't believe how the days fly by!  I find myself constantly asking my husband,  "Where does the time go?"

The next thing I know I haven't posted anything for weeks... aaahhhh!!

I thought summer was suppose to be relaxing and chill... not in my home!  Kids constantly wanting to go to the pool, play at the park or ride bikes around the neighborhood.

So here I am sitting at my computer at 11:00 pm posting random beautiful images of fresh, clean rooms I've collected through the months.  Hopefully they will bring some inspiration!
