Exotic Blue & White Lake House by Shea Soucie & Martin Horner

I wanted to feature this post since it had a lovely framed flag for Memorial Day! House Beautiful featured this lake house at Lake Michigan designed by Shea Soucie & Martin Horner which features a constant blue and white theme with each room having lots of patterns and great tile work design. The international inspirations can be felt from the designer and homeowners travels from the Balinese wood, Marrakesh tiles, Indian prints and paisleys, down to the vintage American Colonial flag.

The black-granite mantel in the library offers a dramatic contrast to the Moroccan style tile and Balinese feel with the wood.

Hand-carved screens separate the living area from the dining area, which has a view of the lake on three sides. 

Pattern play! This fireplace started it all and was the focal point with the Moroccan tiles. Notice the two fabric sofa and contrasting chairs. The marlin was caught by the mother and wife in Anguilla who caught the largest fish on a boat full of 6 boys/men.

Traditional style entrance hall

Clean blue and white kitchen with intricately designed tiles keeping the pattern play consistent from throughout the house.

Two farmhouse sinks have an old-fashioned look and great views of the lake. Don't you want to use one of the blue bottles and write a message to toss in the lake?

Pattern, pattern everywhere in the bedroom.

Larsen's Horizons wallpaper resembles a watercolor in the powder room.

The firebox was built off the floor so you can watch the fire from the bed. Moroccan tile from Urban Archaeology. 

A stunning wall of Azul Cielo and Thassos marbles, cut with a water jet into a delicate pattern. the focal point of The pattern is Danse Azul by Artistic Tile. The under mount tub is encased in Calcutta marble.

Walnut built ins have the effect of looking more like furniture.

Wendy Valliere of Seldom Scene Interiors

Happy Monday! I wanted to share the lovely work of New England designer Wendy Valliere of Seldom Scene Interiors and who is frequently featured in New England Home mag. She first caught my eye by her amazing work in a Palm Beach house which used white and blue colors with accents of red and coral which is mostly featured here except towards the end. She uses bold colors, wallpapered walls and ceilings, bold fabrics and prints. Hope you enjoy her work as much as I do.

Love the playful touch of the custom blue and white zebra rug and runner and the red accents

Love how the white linens pop against the mix of blue and white patterns 

Red and blue theme again with some periwinkle. The white coral and bone accessories pop against the blue walls.

Another blue and white bedroom

Great open floor plan and loving the tray ceilings.

Navy and white room

Wallpapered walls and ceiling

Not afraid to use assorted patterns here. Love the ceiling detail.

More of the wallpapered walls and ceiling with this fun fish print wallpaper. Great tiles.

I would take Lilly of the Valley on my night stand any night! Beautiful feminine monogram.

Black and white bathroom with closets. Notice the ceiling has a different pattern.

Perfect bedroom for little girl, red toile walls and this beautiful swan bed.
