Much like yesterday, the home is filled with soothing neutral tones brought to life with beautiful aqua blues. Is that family room not not the best thing ever?! Love all the windows, that striped sectional, floral rug, big fireplace...all just incredibly lovely!! You can tour more of this lakeside home right <a href="http://billybesonco.com/portfolio/lakeside-living/" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br />I'm finally going to unplug and pack up my computer! Keep your fingers crossed everything goes smoothly today and tomorrow! (I'm new to all this buying/selling houses thing!) I have a great guest blogger filling in tomorrow (hint: Rainwashed!), but I'll see you guys back here next week from our new digs!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

This gorgeous home located in a suburb of Boston was designed by Noelle Micek of <a href="http://www.anorganizednest.com/">An Organized Nest</a> and <a href="http://triciarobertsdesign.com/" target="_blank">Tricia Roberts Design</a> and was beautifully captured by photographer <a href="http://salomonphoto.com/Home.html">Jamie Salomon</a>. I love that even the formal areas of the home have a casual bent to them, with relaxed fabrics, great texture and a sophisticated mix of patterns. Ooh and I especially love all the artwork!!<br /><br /><b>Paint Sources</b><br />Stripes: Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist - 1549 and Cotton Balls OC-122 (8" stripe)<br />Guest Bedroom: Benjamin Moore Silver Gray 2131-60<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

My kind of girl! The layers of turquoise in her dining room on the window treatments and wingback host chair fabric were all inspired by the pair of gorgeous <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=359689&b=211876&m=25626&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Elaylagrayce%2Ecom%2FProducts%2FArteriors%2DDuke%2D4%2DLight%2DIronGlass%2DChandelier%5F%5FAR89288%2Easpx" target="_blank">Arteriors Duke chandeliers</a>!
