a blue and white cottage

This charming little cottage was

one of the eight homes featured on the 2014 

Newport Harbor Home and Garden Tour.

The use of blue and white pieces

is the main design theme throughout this home,

and I love how they brought in gorgeous white coral and nautical-themed pillows to add a coastal vibe.

All the blue and white also mixes well with

the homeowner's Asian artwork and pine antique furniture.  

This is a darling home with breathtaking views

of Newport harbor and the surrounding islands.

color for your front door

Your front door is the first thing 

your friends notice when they visit your home.  

Does your door reflect your personal style?  

In early America, a red door was 

a sign of welcome to a passing traveler.  

A blue door may mean you have an easy going attitude. 

A free spirit may choose a purple hue. 

Yellow on your door exudes a sunny personality. 

A green door may reflect a more traditional style, 

and if you choose black it may mean 

you like a timeless look. 

What ever color you choose should 

bring a smile to your face when you arrive home!
