The olive wood herringbone flooring is the showstopper here. It’s so rich and warm and, if it’s possible to feel like a floor is giving you a hug, this floor does just that. 😍 We were able to carve out three separate en-suites upstairs and each bedroom and bathroom have distinct personalities while they all […]

I often find design inspirations at the beach. I love the blue and aqua colors from the ocean and sky. There are many great natural found elements at the shore, such as sea shells, driftwood, sand and sea glass. I see a beautiful color palette and tons of decor inspiration in all the surroundings. Beach inspired decorating provides a very relaxed atmosphere with calm and soothing surroundings. I like using vintage weathered wood furnishings and painted furniture mixed with soft light colored fabrics and pops of color in the accessories. Living in a beach inspired home, everyday feels like your on vacation, (especially if someone else comes and cleans it... lol. We could all use that!)... Source: BHG.com Source: BHG.com Source: In My House Source: BHG.com I love the rustic distressed vintage wood doors used as the headboard. Source: Archithings.net Keep in mind that decorating with found things is easy to do and it is so beautiful! Plus it's major budget friendly! However, don't just steal your neighbors flowers (you probably want to ask first). I love the pop of color that is created with these hydrangeas. Also the simple starfish on the table adds a subtle beachy touch. (I know beachy isn't a real word.... but I like it!) Source: A Beach Cottage Source: Topic Den Source: Beach Finds This last picture is the ultimate display of found items... A large collection of starfish and seashells covers this bathrooms walls. The shelves are shallow ledges that surround the entire room. Although it does make the walls a little bit busy, it is definitely an interesting way to display the collection... and there is still plenty of room for many more items as they are found while strolling along the beach. Source: Unknown Whatever you do when decorating your home, always surround yourself with items that you love! That way you will always feel wonderful in your space. The items don't have to be expensive! Keep your eyes open, you can find many decorative elements in nature and the best part is, they are free... Happy decorating!
Julia Reed and her husband John are selling their famous house on First Street in New Orleans. I say famous, because of the post Katrina memoir Julia wrote. Photo by Sara Essex Bradley for New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles The book blurb: "After fifteen years of living like a vagabond on her reporter's schedule, Julia Reed got married and bought a house in the historic Garden District. Four weeks after she moved in, Hurricane Katrina struck. The House on First Street is the chronicle of Reed's remarkable and often hilarious homecoming, as well as a thoroughly original tribute to our country's most original city." The House on First Street is a wonderful read So I guess with a track record of fifteen years of living on the road as a reporter, it seems to be time for Julia to move on again. It's going on eight years since Katrina. For one with wanderlust maybe a forever house has a shorter expiration date. When I read the book (which I loved) I was so curious to see the inside of the house. I got a chance as an invited plus one to a party Julia and John hosted in their home. I was such a geeky blogger and fan, so of course I did a post about it HERE The House on First Street is listed for $2,995,000. I did a second post when the house was published in Elle Decor. I also had a chance to go inside the house again when I styled a photo shoot of Julia and John's kitchen (and wrote the story) for New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles. Julia writes that the dining room went through a parade of paint colors. "Before it was all over we put at least ten coats of paint, including two shades of coral, one shade of gray, three shades of brown, and four shades of blue." She says, "We had already bought a dining table that seats twenty-four from Patrick Dunne." I happened to by driving across First Street the other day and saw the "for sale" sign. I was amazed and a little sad. But on the other hand I am hoping that Julia and John are moving on to something even more fabulous in their lives. A powder room So I collected all the photos from the real estate listing, so we can have a last peek into The House on First Street. If you have read the book, you will really enjoy these photos. The enclosed back porch is a pretty sun room. A chintz called Floral Bouquet (2003101, $198 per yard, Lee Jofa) is very similar to what Julia uses on the arm chairs and pillows Do you move house frequently? What's the shortest time you lived in one home, or the longest? It doesn't matter if you are a renter or an owner. A home is a home. We have been in our current home since 2004, a year before Katrina. So far we are blessed to be able to stay in it, and I think it has the feeling of forever. For now ha ha. Another bathroom The master? Note the Suzani on the bed and the Aubusson carpet An upper balcony -A beautiful porch & this balcony overlook First Street Another bathroom (there are five) This looks like a guest room The side yard - The garden house shed could be converted to a guest house Julia uses a palette of white flowers with greenery The brick driveway A better view of the shed that could be turned into a guest house There is a lawn too And a slate patio The kitchen that I called a soft renovation HERE The famous front parlor - Julia says, "I'd been preparing for owning some house, somewhere, sometime for so long that I'd saved every World of Interiors and House and Garden magazine since I was twenty. More than a year before I laid eyes on the house, I had bought (on the layaway plan at a local antique store) the pair of gilt Regency benches I now knew would go in the front parlor." Julia Reed's New Orleans library with Claremont's Georges Le Manach Mortefontaine Gris fabric on a pair of armchairs - Read more in an article by Sara Ruffin Costello HERE Here's a nicer photo of Julia Reed's chintz chairs by Paul Costello for the WSJ From the listing: "One of the finest properties in the garden district. Exquisite home & yard. Magnificent architectural details-wonderful rooms for entertaining which open onto beautiful gardens which are perfect for outside entertaining" I hope you enjoyed another look into The House on First Street.

Where do I begin with this one? This mid-century tree house is believed to have been originally designed by E. Fay Jones, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Weight, who has his handprint on projects throughout our NW Arkansas region. Restoring an original Jones’ home was an absolute honor and joy. This home had such care […]
