Today is my last post on the fabulous Design House in Seaside, Florida.  I’m actually going to miss looking at these photos every day.  Not only does it remind me of my vacation on the white sandy shores of the Gulf (thank goodness, oil hasn’t destroyed this beauty as of yet), but the house was [...]

Today I have more amazing photos from the Seaside Design Home I toured last week.  My jaw hit the floor when I looked up and saw the open loft area… bananas! Tomorrow, I’ll take you on a tour of the bedrooms and a few other goodies I found along the way! P.S.  See the painting [...]

Seriously?!  Are you not drooling over this design house in Seaside, Florida.  I could move in, not change a thing and be perfectly content!  Today’s blog is part two of the amazing tour I took.  Tomorrow we’ll head into the living room and see more designer delights!  Enjoy! P.S.  See the little side table next [...]

Last week, I attended the 2nd annual Designer Show House for the Arts in Seaside, Florida, benefiting the Cultural Arts Association.  It happened to be a rainy day on our vacation and I’m always up for a good cause and some design inspiration.  While it seemed like a perfect solution to a sunless day, my [...]

Dear Lindsey Lohan, Tsk… Tsk… Tsk!  It seems your hard partying ways have finally caught up to you!  But have no fear… prison stripes are totally chic!  So embrace it… rock the jailhouse look and wipe that nasty manicure off your fingers.  And maybe next time, write “I heart judges” on your middle finger and [...]

For some reason, I am constantly ripping out photos of beautiful office spaces.  I’m not talking cubbies and windowless caves… I’m talking inspiring rooms that would make me want to create and design.  Most of us spend the majority of our day at our desks… so why shouldn’t they be as comfortable as our homes.  [...]

Having your own store does have it’s perks.  For one, many times when I buy merchandise for the shop, I do a little “one for me and one for you.”  And when it comes to Russel and Hazel, my habit gets magnified 100 percent.  I mean, how could I not want to line my shelves [...]

There is a little something you should know about my childhood.  First, I may not have been the kid who ate the glue… but I was the kid who smelled the erasers.  Second, I never wanted to share my box of crayons, because the other kids would just peel the paper off and make them [...]

I have a confession… I am a pinup girl!  No, no, no… not that kind… no fishnets and stilettos here… well, maybe with the right outfit, but I digress.  I just happen to have a thing for cork boards, bulletin boards, inspiration boards… whatever you may call them.  These little framed wonders, happen to be [...]

I hope your long weekend has been filled with sipping lemonade, lighting sparklers and wiping ice cream drips off your chin.  I’ll be back tomorrow for a week of office inspired fun! Write more… Type less, Lauren Images via Country Living Magazine
