And to know there are homes like <i>this</i> there?! Heaven! The incredible home was designed by <a href="http://www.geoffchick.com/" target="_blank">Geoff Chick & Associates</a> (the same architect who was responsible for that <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2012/08/geoff-chick-associates.html" target="_blank">amazing home</a> I shared on Monday). The kitchen is fabulous...love the cabinetry, shimmery tile, and blue island! Did you notice that niche in the stairway?? The homeowner is using it to display their wonderful collection of beach sand from all over the world. You can't really tell, but the back of the niche is covered in antique nautical map wallpaper. Such a great idea! You can check out more photos of the home taken by <a href="http://www.jackgardnerphoto.com/" target="_blank">Jack Gardner</a> over at Geof Chick's blog <a href="http://gulfcoastcottage.blogspot.com/2011/03/williams-residence-watercolor.html" target="_blank">Gulf Coast Cottages</a>! And for lots more design eye candy, just visit his <a href="http://www.geoffchick.com/portfolio.php" target="_blank">website</a>!<br /><br />Have a safe and super-fun Labor Day weekend everyone!!!

But that's exactly the feel <a href="http://www.chatelethome.com/about-us/">Teresa Wiwchar</a> wanted for her family's weekend getaway cabin, with plenty of fun and color to go around! I love that she used a white painted picnic table for her dining table–can't get more casual than that! Plus the white is the perfect canvas for colorful linens and dinnerware! The bedroom is my favorite here. I love the contrasting window coverings, artwork and mismatched bedside table lamps!

And not just one, but <i>two</i> colors!! The homeowners worked with <a href="http://www.studio-sw.com/" target="_blank">Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture</a> out of San Francisco to put an addition onto their home, keeping with the original character while infusing the space with a modern vibe. Not only do I love the different colors, I love the combination of open shelving and closed cabinets. The ceiling is great too! All in all, the look is very clean and modern, but still has a warmth to it. I just love it!

Interior designer Heloísa Malaga achieved the impossible with this captivating bathroom from her home in Marbella, a city located next to the Mediterranean Sea on the southern tip of Spain. With all of the beautiful antiques and reclaimed pieces filling the space, you'd never know the room was actually new construction. I especially love the old trader's desk turned into a vanity. And the dreamy blue walls, obviously!

Beautiful wood floors, white walls, and pops of color in all the right places! It's the all extra touches though that left me breathless...the turquoise shingles, blue subway tile to the ceiling, windows galore, and fabulous architectural details throughout! It's almost like the cutest farmhouse ever got together with the perfect beach home.

The 12 bedroom, 13 1/2 bathroom home was designed by Emily Sheipe of <a href="http://eainteriordesigns.com/" target="_blank">EA Interior Designs</a> out of Chesapeake, Virginia. She chose a lovely shade of turquoise (Benjamin Moore's <i>Palladian Blue</i>...anyone guess that right??) to bring the sea inside, and filled the home with comfortable and durable furnishings perfectly suited for big family gatherings. I can't even imagine the coordination required for designing a home that big, but she sure did a great job!!
