A Weathered California Beach Home...

I was scanning through some of Coastal living's images when I came across one of my all-time-favorite homes I love to drive by when I'm visiting Corona del Mar, California!
I have been dying to see the inside of this home for years - so when I came across these images you can imagine my surprise and excitement!
This home is as gorgeous on the inside as it is one the outside;  I love how they compliment each other so effortlessly!
The couple's new home encompasses the perfect combination of weathered wood with faded neutral colors to create the perfect west coast fuss-free home:

Can you imagine waking up to that view everyday?!

I just LOVE this home!  Now I don't have to sit and stew what the inside looks like when I drive by.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Inspiration...

I've been rummaging through the internet to find inspiration for our new home.

Our next home is more whimsy and will have more of an unpretentious character.  There is something I love about cheerful disorder - where family and friends can come over feeling relaxed and at home.
If you noticed my post on Brambles and Blossoms, here Lisa sells the perfect one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces to create that perfect, easy to live with space!
Below are some favorite images I collected from Pinterest showing the perfect rooms with unpretentious character:

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

Feelings of Fall...

I can't tell you how excited I am for the coming months of Fall!

This time of year I can't get enough apple pie, cool mountain air with its changing leaves, last minute trips up the canyon and the views of Midway!

What gets you excited?

Summers In France

Thanks to my dear friend Michele with Hello Lovely Inc, I was able to come across one of my all-time favorite books called Summers In France!

If you are into the charm of the French country side - you will love this charming book by Kathryn M. Ireland!  Kathryn brings a tumbled down farm/farmhouse glamorously back to to life, adding the perfect hints of bohemian country style!

What's so unique about this book is its relation to a personal scrapbook.  Kathryn celebrates summer living and entertaining in the French countryside.  Nothing seems more charming to me than the beautiful, fun-filled Kathy and her vision of Summers In France!

I highly recommend this book and also go check out Michele's blog - she's always cutting edge when it comes to interior design and lifestyle!

Flamant

I have been out of the country for the past two seeks sightseeing the French Riviera and Vienna, Austria!

My husband and I where strolling the streets of Vienna when we happened to come across one of my all-time-favorite Belgian inspired decor shops called Flamant.

If you like neutral stone putty-like paint colors or the juxtaposition of elegant yet slightly rustic - you will love this company!  I used all their paint colors in my last home and have loved them!  Below are some Flamant images and also paint samples:

I hope you are all having a wonderful week!
