She is an author and travel writer out of Cape Town, South Africa and along with a few others, owns this blue-filled beach cottage on the coast of Smitswinkel Bay that was featured in <a href="http://www.houseandleisure.co.za/false-bay-beach-retreat/" target="_blank">House and Leisure</a>. The location of the home is incredible. So incredible that the home is reachable only on foot! In fact all building materials have to be physically hauled down a mountain! The blue inside is lovely, but truly nothing beats the jaw-dropping view. And as much as I enjoyed these fantastic photos taken by Greg Cox and styled by Kate Boswell, I also loved the story written by Pippa that goes along with them! Read it <a href="http://www.houseandleisure.co.za/false-bay-beach-retreat/" target="_blank">here</a>! (I might have needed a kleenex for her last paragraph!)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!! :) <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

This incredible Beaufort, SC home was designed by <a href="http://www.reuarch.com/the-mondavi-home.html" target="_blank">Reu Architects</a> who partnered with homeowners Rob and Lydia Mondavi–the family behind Napa Valley's Mondavi Winery. The couple recently debuted the <a href="http://www.mondavihome.com/" target="_blank">Mondavi Home Collection</a>, using their home as a idea house. The real showstopper is undoubtedly the reclaimed wood throughout...simply gorgeous! But the paint colors are absolutely beautiful too! The 22-color palette "represents the varying hue of ocean tides with each room’s color ebbing and flowing from dark to light".

(No trim yet, obviously!) I'm not sure when that was going to happen if it weren't for the ORC! We actually bought the flooring way over a year ago. Chris had been keeping his eye on Craigslist...since it is such a small space we were hoping someone might have some extra left over from a project. And the patience paid off–we scored <a href="http://shawfloors.com/hardwood-flooring-details/whistler_sw249-gondola" target="_blank">this flooring</a> for a great price! We love the hand-scraped look and how the color looks with the walls (<a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/sonomaskies" target="_blank">BM Sonoma Skies</a>). <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhC-fPY3KTPooK0wE7xLaLkkv4Fywm7ThXbc4n8O7j9kTlF2_XNDoSCzPKvDWp1RSCMdt7qJjG1Ki4f5e5NyQCZVENUWsAmGagcjswBaUT52F5xfihhKKH1I9whc4K8LXP4CrVPg0MvR4/s1600/IMG_3682.jpg" /> </div><br />I can't say I had much to do with the installation, my dad and Chris totally rocked this one!

When we saw these rope pulls at <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rcmu6ssxw" target="_blank">West Elm</a> last year, we snagged them up right away. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rcmu6ssxw" target="_blank"><img alt="http://rstyle.me/n/rcmu6ssxw" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDXFeYABVax4v5UT3NJzraurAjJE92-BtneKQAPgXLGJiV0sVgYJlkcLAIa66os4td8BKR53CWDtA_MPXBQv_xUNX5q8j_2Gfh6m6KxgwDAqmFQYOJuY6ghPKNV-lK_3s-ZFVNTBHRil4/s1600/jute+rope+metal+knob.jpg" /></a></div><br />A simple detail, but I'm excited to have them in.

(Already?!) We were hoping we could install a window in the loft, as the space is super dark and gets absolutely zero natural light. It's basically a 3rd floor and sits up in the trees, so we think a window would give the space a cool tree house feel. We had the window installer come out to measure and he had some concerns...something about the layout of the studs and that the wall isn't load bearing. He's coming back with a remodeler to see what our options are. So I might have to start reworking my plan....not sure what I'd do with that wall without a window!<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqbKStayo0hnXOdqPZRHuP1SAQ7vp-AA6k8KAmKR88_-7nPg5rwvdZ0eTENUkAZOi0QB0SHE8YaoNoPmkt-tDCDNDNsOpfc5bK1FyoiYNHH771q2TlZlNRDHat0hsOI_ZRXhtm_umHo9I/s1600/IMG_3674.JPG" /><br /><br />To see where we started and my vision for the space, go back to <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2014/10/one-room-challenge-week-1.html" target="_blank">Week 1</a>!
