My House Beautiful May Favorites

I just thought I'd share a few yummy morsels from House Beautiful's May issue - there were a handful of bright, happy, spring-time feeling goodies.

click on the image above for a larger view - the fireplace is amazing. I also love the painting above it.

I really wish I was disciplined enough to keep flowers in my apartment all the time. I love fresh flowers.



Jonathon Adler of course! - All those bright colors are so cheerful!


It's a more modern take for kitchen wallpaper - for us who like our veggies but don't want grandma's wallpaper

My dream bathroom

I love the eggplant and aqua swatches - with a tan that would be a favorite trio of mine.

A Beauty of a House

When will spring be here? I don't know how much more of this winter I can take. I had a little bout of flu this weekend, which was bad enough - and then Monday morning I opened my door to atleast 6 inches of snow. Anyway, I digress - but I'm sure some of you feel my pain. So, to distract myself I've been looking at all the pictures I can of comfy - but light and airy homes.

The painted ceiling really ads a nice touch to this kitchen.


*gorgeous* that bed looks so inviting


Nothing beats a sunny place to eat breakfast.

In love with pale, beautiful, and serene aqua blues...

I don't think we need much explanation here...but soft blues, greens, aquas, and seafoams are the pinnacle of calm, pretty, and serene. I don't like to "pick" a favorite color, but light blue is definitely up there!
