A great way to add a statement to a room!

An LA Cottage
We fell immediately in love with both the outside and inside of this 1920's style cottage. The comments have been mixed on their choice of color for the outside. We love it. What do you think? Via Remodelista
Is it Spring Yet?
I've always admired Scandinavian design and thanks to some newly found Danish bloggers I've found some great new sources of inspiration. These bits of green make me optimistic that spring is just around the corner. Via Lotta Agaton, Vosges Paris, Caisa K.
Gotta Have More Chalkboard
I've always loved old chalk boards and now with chalkboard paint there's no need to keep your scribbles within a wooden frame. Via Vosges Paris, Lotta Agaton
Bedrooms & Kitchens
Some great inspiration from bedroom to kitchen. We love the wooly blankets, the un-hemmed linen tablecloth and eclectic seating. Via Remodelista.
Candle Light
The elegance is in its simplicity. Image via My Little Apt.
Horns of Plenty
Summer Showers
There's nothing better than showering al fresco while the early morning sun paints a rainbow at your feet. Walled, planked or curtained here are some great examples. Images via Elle Decor, Remodelista, Living Etc, Marie Claire and Flickr.
A Hampton Cottage
This Hampton cottage, featured in this months Elle Decor, is masterful in its design simplicity. We love the clean, rustic quality throughout the house. Images via Elle Decor.
Turkish Bath
We love these as alternatives to the traditional towel. They're both perfect for the bath and the beach. Large and very absorbent, each towel is woven from 100% organic Turkish cotton and finished with hand-knotted fringe. Photo via StyleFiles. Find them at L'Aviva Home.
Outdoor Retreats
Here are some perfect shady escapes where you can take an afternoon snooze, entertain, or just while away the hours with a good read. Photography via Jordi Canosa.
Pitcher Perfect
The perfect vessels for summer lemonade or mojitos. Top two pitchers are from Haus Interior. Bottom two pitchers were spotted on Materialicious and are from Belart Industries.
Summer Solstice
We love these beautiful, gestural painting by Samantha French. Her work, catagorized by theme, beach, pool, underwater and vintage portraits, all capture the essense of long, sultry, summer days. See the complete collection. Via French Gerneral.
Signature Piece
Make a statement by using one oversized piece in a room. My favorite... the oversized block print above the small green dresser. I think the print is by one of my favorite artists, Hugo Guiness. Photos via Decorno.
Montauk House
This weekend beach getaway is home to the design duo Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch of Roman and Williams, who created the interiors of the Ace Hotel. Photos via Roman and Williams.
Bottling
A great collection of vintage bottles spotted on Waterworks founder, Barbara Sallick's, new blog The Perfect Bath.
