Soft Spot for Skylights….

Hey Friends! Did you enjoy your weekend?

Growing up my favorite element in my bedroom was my skylight.  It was unique and I loved how the morning light would filter through.  Ever since then, I have had a soft spot for skylights and feel like they are an architectural element that is often overlooked.  Of course they are a functional element that adds natural light to a potential dark space, but they can also be the perfect detail to an otherwise lack luster space creating an unforgettable environment.

Friday Fave… My favorite elevation

Good Morning!! I’m off in a few hours to head home to the Cape! I am giddy with excitement!

I was flipping through my style files trying to find a Friday Fave before I head out, and came across the copy of my Favorite elevation…. I thought it was fitting because I am picking up my new Silver Mini today (So flippin excited!) and just so happened there was one in the picture!

This is from Coastal Living March 2007, and this house was Love at First sight! I decided that when I build (someday!) my home would be similar to this.  I love the tone on tone white palette, the simple board-and-batten, symmetrical windows, and of course the cupola.   I would love to have a brick path surrounded by lavender up to the entry and huge hydrangeas flanking each side.

And for now……

Enjoy your day!
