In Good Taste: Minnie Peters

There are certain things that always make us think of fall: Wood stacked in the fireplace…

Beautiful, rustic beams…

An old-timey stove…

And raw wood accents–especially when they’re paired with fall leaves of every color.

Minnie Peters’ great taste, filled with lovely European influences, has us feeling fall today!

A soothing color palette,

Antique accents (and wellies by the door!),

And the most charming architectural accents,

Add up to a chicly lovely home that looks warm, cozy and lived in in the best possible way.

A few antique accents add charm in droves,

And create eye-catching vignettes that are impossible to look away from.

This tub is exactly the kind of place we’d like to soak with a cup of apple tea all fall long… What about you?

Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day. We love seeing you here!

House Tour: Charming in Corona Del Mar

Good morning, chic readers! We hope you loved the good taste of Kelly Nutt yesterday as much as we did!

With statement lighting…

Wood accents…

And charm galore…

There is so much to love about Kelly Nutt Design.

This house in Corona Del Mar is absolutely ideal for spending a relaxing vacation, a laid-back spring break or for cool, comfortable living all year round.

A study in simplicity with just the right amount of detail to keep things interesting, this is the kind of home that feels like a serene oasis.

Pretty pink accents create a calming and sweet retreat for catching up on rest.

And plenty of hidden storage creates a soothing, monochromatic palette for the eye where clutter is hidden away.

A fun pattern on the floor stands out against an all-white bath for a uniform look that still packs a punch.

Even the laundry room is fabulous! We don’t know about you, but we could move right into this gorgeous Corona Del Mar home–and would love to be weekend guests! What about you?

Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Resolving to read more this year? Pick up your copy of Slightly South of Simple, the first novel in my Peachtree Bluff series, and preorder book 2, The Secret to Southern Charm, releasing April 3! I’m so grateful for the support of my readers!
