Nantucket Style with Lynn Morgan Design

What is my obsession with Nantucket? 

Not quite sure why I'm loving that lovely place so much lately...

Nantucket has so many great aspects... there is the historical and colonial downtown, 

but there is also a fun and hip vibe, the calm and quite relaxing feel, beautiful beaches, 

plus the beautiful gray and white beach homes.

There is a distinct Nantucket style, which says quite a bit for a small little island 

30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.

In my opinion, this home is pure perfection... and who is to be given credit for this perfection?

Lynn Morgan Design.

I'm dying over that fantastic table in the hallway. It is so natural, beachy, and imperfect.

 I have become a fan of Lynn's designs and appreciate how natural, clean and crisp this home is, 

but with a touch of whimsy and color.

INSPIRING COLOR: CHARTREUSE

*CHARTREUSE*

 Chartreuse is the bright color between yellow & green. 

It's fresh. It's fun. It's beautiful & springy...

 and it looks fabulous paired with other colors like hot pink, navy, black, 

gray, brown, turquoise, etc.

There is just so much to love about Chartreuse. 

Pantone even added it to the color palette for fall fashion 2012 colors.

Add a dab of Chartreuse in small doses to freshen up your home for spring:

You could hang an apron or tea towel in your kitchen::

like the Marrakech Apron + Tea Towel from Modern Palm.

Or you could hang a fun market tote in your kitchen or mudroom.

Try the Neema Market Canvas Tote or the Souvenir or Aviary Tote.

Beachside Home in Copenhagen

Last month Lonny Magazine featured a lovely beachside home from Copenhagen. 

One of my favorite things about the home is the black frame and trim around the windows, 

the black cabinets, and the black accents throughout the home. 

The mix of white, black and natural wood is so timeless... 

I can't get over the insanely beautiful staircase that leads to a black and white floor. 

There is just so much design inspiration in this Scandinavian styled home.

Designer Highlight: Lynn Morgan Design

I am currently obsessed with the work of Lynn Morgan Design! 

This home, which is called Kensett-Piper home project on the Lynn Morgan Design website, 

is my absolute favorite. I love how fresh and crisp each room looks. 

They must not have kids, because I just can't imagine my home this pristine...

I'm still trying to clean up and organize after Christmas... 

anyone else with me on this? Does Christmas cause/add-to disarray in your home? 

Maybe this is why I'm so attracted to this amazingly clean and organized home right now.

I am committing to simplifying and organizing my home this year...

and in the mean time, I'll dream of living in such a beautiful home that is perfection.

Oh! and I'm also loving all the stripes.
