FRIDAY FEATURED HOME TOUR
As a Stella & Dot stylist I've seen the interior of Jessica Herrin's gorgeous home grace her social media pages and have always day dreamed about having a personal tour and spending the day there. Well, lucky for us we're able to get a little tour of her gorgeous historic Hillsborough, Ca home designed by Kendall Wilkinson. You can read the full article on Traditional Home here.
How gorgeous is this custom painted silk wallpaper? Obsessed!!!
This dining room is just to die for, I mean that chandelier! I love the modern pop of color in the art in the space. It adds a youthful touch to the space.
The Stark fabric and textures in this room make me just want to touch everything. I probably would and then hope that there wasn't a home security camera watching me.
Jessica's office may be one of my favorite rooms. It's so simple yet so elegant.
Her husband Chad's game room is just hands down awesome. I don't blame her for kicking him out and hosting her own girls game nights. I'd do the same! My girlfriends and I would probably never leave and we'd lock the door.
It's been a lifelong goal of mine to have doors like this in my own home. Just ask my husband. Every addition discussion begins with...and we'll put the french doors here.
I've had a bedroom pinned with this suzani fabric FOREVER and I'm still so in love with it to this day and how gorgeous is that cared fireplace surround?
I really like this shape of this island. It just invites you to come and hang out for awhile.
I wish they would have shared her full dressing room because you would just want to live in there but you can get an idea of how amazing it is from this picture. I'll have to hunt down a good picture to share with all of you because now that I said how awesome it is, I'm sure you want to see it.
The downstairs has so many bold colors and I love how serene this bedroom is with this gorgeous silver leaf bed.
Maybe I'd put more effort into getting ready if this is what I could get ready in front of. #bathroomgoals
Jessica's always sharing cute pictures of her girls having breakfast in bed and I'm always admiring their headboards. I'm also admiring the fact that I love that they do breakfast in bed too. Does finding marshmallow fluff under your sons bed count as them attempting breakfast in bed?
Last but definitely not least is the pool house. I'll be dreaming of hanging out here all weekend. Let me know when it's Monday.

Happy Friday! My Week and a Project Sneak Peek
After 3 snow days, a sick kid and a traveling hubby who got stuck out of town I'm glad to be rolling into this weekend.
The week wasn't all bad though. First we started off with a great ski weekend with lots of powder. I don't get to say that much and it was amazing! It makes it better when it snows the whole time. Second, our photo shoot that was snowed out last week also got moved to this week. I can't wait to see how it turned out. A special thanks to Jourieh from Jourieh Alicia Photography for capturing this project. This was a project in the Boston area that I've been dying to share with you. This client has similar tastes to my own, so decorating this space was a lot of fun. She also happens to be one of the first friends I met when we moved here. I still remember meeting her at the park with our babies who are now 10 years old! Time goes WAY too fast.
I can't wait to share the professional images but in the meantime here's a couple iPhone pics.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Jake just didn't want to stop skiing! This trail was absolutely stunning. The pictures don't do it justice.

FEATURED DESIGNER CRUSH
I could spend hours, actually I take that back...days perusing talented designers portfolios. Filling my head with ideas for my own home and my clients homes. But this weeks perusing led me to Chenault James Interiors. A southern girl who manages to mix traditional classic design and modern touches to create timeless interiors. I'm very much a neutral girl who loves to add color with accessories so you can imagine how much I love these spaces. Traditional Home named her a "New Trad" designer of 2015 and there's a good reason. Her work is amazing. She is also the co-owner of Pappy & Co which is a line of bourbon inspired items including barware, clothing, hot sauce and even furniture.
The ceiling, windows, animal print chair covered on cassaro fabric...completely obsessing over all of it. I love how she kept the window treatments off of these windows to showcase how beautiful they are.
This reminds me of some of the victorian homes here in New England with their beautiful woodwork and little details like the arch above the doorway. This paint color is beautiful as well and the pop of color in this beautiful abstract print.
This kitchen is so simple yet so stunning. The zinc hood and marble blend perfectly. I'd personally do a different light fixture above the island because I like a little more modern but this fits the space well.
So many of my favorites all in one room. This Kelly Whearstler fabric is so fun and I love seeing it mixed in traditional spaces. Paired with this Phillip Jeffries nailed it grasscloth and the painted trim I just love it all. I love the feminine pastel velvet couch used with a more masculine wallpaper too. Bold art by Sally Benedict placed above the fireplace. This is a great example of traditional and modern done well.
Black iron doors make anything look amazing! I really really need these in my life one day. Can we also talk about this table base by Beau Studios??
I love the function of this space. How we all could use a pretty room for the messy stuff. Although after I found my son with red food coloring I may be rethinking the need for a pretty, messy room. We have these barstools and I love them.
I love that she painted the trim the same color of the cabinets in this office space. A glass waterfall table keeps the space open and lets the rug and window treatments remain the center of attention. And that Worlds Away shell light fixture is like the jewelry piece to finish the look.
This Galbraith & Paul Lotus print on this pillow may hands down may be my favorite prints and I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate it into my master bedroom, whether it be in fabric or wallpaper, I'm not sure but I need it. My issue has been I can't decide which color way I like the best. This is the picture that let me to Chenault's work.
How awesome is this map wallcovering? Paired with a hairpin leg desk and fun chair this is a room that can easily grow with kids.
This may be my favorite. I'm sort of partial to this wallpaper and love when it's used in childrens spaces. Chenault paired with these beautiful blue upholstered headboards and natural pendants to bring in warmth to the space. This space shows how Chenault adds color with accessories. You can easily switch out the beds in this space and create a completely different look. Although she did an amazing job with this space and I'm really digging this blue color right now.
