I adore his modern beach home style...free and light, nautical without being kitschy. Tim's retail store in Santa Monica, <a href="http://www.tower20store.com/#tower-20-store" target="_blank">Tower 20 Store</a>, reflects his coastal modern aesthetic so even us land-locked (and freezing cold) folks can infuse our homes with sophisticated, beachy style. See more of his work over at <a href="http://www.coastalliving.com/homes/decorating/essentials-modern-casual-style-00414000067244/">Coastal Living</a>, and his <a href="http://www.timclarkedesign.com/" target="_blank">website</a>!<br /><br />Thanks you guys for all your sweet birthday comments for my dad yesterday!! He got such a kick out of reading them! :)

I don't think it would ever cross my mind to mix zebra-print curtains and Greek key-pattern carpeting, but the two definitely complement each another here!<br /><br />I have to give a big birthday shout-out to my dad today!! He's a giant supporter of all my blogs (he should really be the head of my PR!), and of turquoise in general...he's always sending me photos from his iphone of turquoise stuff he sees, and proudly wears the turquoise shirts I buy him. What a great dad!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1181824989_nuPsh-L.jpg" /></div> <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Happy Birthday, Dad!!<br /></div>

Among the collection was this way cool guesthouse located in Provins, France. The rooms in <a href="http://www.bedandstyle.com/index.php/direct/place/1/provins-maison-stella-cadente/" target="_blank">La maison de Stella Cadente</a> were actually designed by fashion designer <a href="http://www.stella-cadente.com/" target="_blank">Stella Cadente</a>. Each room has its own unique personality, but my favorite is the jewel-toned "non-smoking" room above. She also designed the Salon Beaujon in the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe.
