a sweet suite

A guest suite is indeed a lovely luxury to share with visitors. This precious space provides guest quarters for friends and family to rest their heads after sun filled days spent lounging on the beach.
The recipe for a charming guest suite...
 
 
a cozy bed with a bedside lamp

 
some lovely flowers

 
a breakfast try

 
perfect for breakfast in bed

 
a large brim hat and a light scarf are "sunset ready"



an antique painting in colors that soothe the soul
 

 
a comfy chair is perfect for relaxing or reading

 
right through the door is an adorable galley kitchen

 
just enough room to prepare breakfast in bed


 
a bathroom that has all the elements of a luxurious spa

 
and whimsical touches that will make you smile

 
especially these handsome dolphins! 

 
When you take the time to pay attention to the smallest of details, your guests will feel right at home. Your kindness is rewarded in lifelong friendships!
So here's to making your friends and family feel extra special when they come for a visit...

garden inspired

Recently I styled a guest bedroom for a client and dear friend. It was a wonderful project. I was very pleased to be able to photograph the room and write about the transformation for print. I knew it would warm the heart of my friend to see this precious room in a magazine. I was so happy to be able to surprise her!
Here are some extra images that didn't make the article...
 
 
This room has so much character. It's a little guest bedroom tucked under the eaves of the second story of the home. It overlooks a beautiful garden. This was the perfect inspiration for the makeover.


The room's walls are pale blue with white trim, the furniture is a mix of white wicker and metal and the linens are blue and white. I added pale yellow and green bedding and accessories...

 
...mixed in some vintage treasures...

 
...and some beautiful dried flowers.

 
The garden theme is echoed throughout.

 
Birdhouses and plants...

 
garden statues

 
and tiny hand tools.

 
This little room is as cute as can be.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
