Amber Valletta's California home is so fabulous. First, it's in beautiful Santa Monica! Second, her home is so charming, eclectic and inviting. Great color, accent pieces, character and design ideas are in every corner of Amber's Cali beauty. Love it.

Fashion designer, Jenni Kayne's, Beverly Hills home is simple and spectacular! The rooms have high ceilings and are so open with the furnishings kept easy going, classic and beautiful. Some of the rooms made great use of reclaimed oak while others feature large concrete accents. The whole home is wonderfully put together and feels so comfortable.

I'm pretty sure that one expects the homes of Malibu to be stunning with not shortage of breathtaking views. Kurt Rappaport's Malibu haven is stunning and the view is spectacular but there is so much more going on here. There is a certain ease here and a beautiful simplicity. The white oak floors and walls are so lovely and gentle, allowing the easy going and impeccable interior to be the focus. Beauty all over the place. (all photos from Architectural Digest)

I love Apartment Therapy; who doesn't, I'm sure. I love their home tours. They recently featured the home of Apartment 34's, Erin Hiemstra. Erin's home decor is simple and refined with a very organic and subtly elegant mix. The open floor plan and huge windows help the space feel so large and flowing. Love it!

How can a house feel campy and elegant at the same time? Located in Sonoma, California, this home (designed by Rela Gleeson) opens it's doors and windows to the lush surroundings and welcomes it in. Huge trees are visible from just about every room and with stone walls, natural wood, neutral colors and simple furniture, the whole house feels so earthy and one with nature. And, the spots that ARE actually outdoors are simply perfect. Love it a lot!
