Diamond and Baratta

If anyone knows how to make a strong statement with turquoise, hands down it's Diamond and Baratta. I've shown you the vibrant home from the first image before (how could you forget it?), but I just came across the foyer and had to share it too. That chandelier made my heart stop! The other entrance I found on Absolutely Beautiful Things is from another Florida home designed by these two color geniuses. Granted we might not want to live in either home, but how fun to look at or visit. You just have to hand it to these guys for taking such bold risks!

Thanks for all your great suggestions yesterday about my upcoming trip to New York! You guys are so awesome! :)

Bring the Seaside Inside

If there's one thing we can all agree on (since we love turquoise and all) it's that we all appreciate homes with a coastal vibe, like this stunner designed by Massucco Warner Miller. Whether you're steps away from the beach, or landlocked smack dab in the middle of flyover land like me, bringing just a little seaside inside is always a good thing! The colors here are glorious...all the browns, blues and greens, so natural and fresh. I especially love the collection of blue vessels in the last picture! You must see see more of the lovely home here!

Speaking of coastal decor, the Outer Banks Trading Group, one of my sponsors, is filled to the brim with the chicest coastal accents I've ever seen. If you love throw pillows like I do, you don't want to miss their huge selection...we're talking over 1,100 pillows! Here are some of my other favorite products from their store:
