This home is the perfect mix of being swoon worthy and child friendly. I look at images like this and just fall head over heels for all the color, so why can I not personally live with it baffles me. One of my favorite pieces in the article is when the owner and designer Jenny Keenan states, "I love things to be beautiful and be perfect, but that's just not realistic. Baskets are a pretty and practical way to sort of have it both ways." I must agree, baskets have become my best friends too.

And always I love to see my sweet babies up on Party Perfect. So fun!

Wow, where do I start? Such amazing details. I LOVE the kitchen, and the coffee table is fabulous. But the most inspiring thing I think is her craft/home office storage. So great! I need to save that picture....
Thanks for sharing! And I think you're right, making color work is very tricky. It can easily look confused and busy. This woman did an amazing job.
this house really is such a great example of having kids and style!! love the pops of happy color!
Love how the house is really neutral with color added in fabrics and accessories..the perfect way to add personality!!!
I have always loved the look of wallpaper inside the built-in bookshelves... just beautiful!

Hasn't Better Homes and Gardens really stepped up their game in the last few years? I always love pouring through their magazine. This home is a perfect example - I just love everything about it!
I have the same challenge-I love color but can never committ to it in my home!! PS your son's bday party is featured at Party Perfect today!
Love the wallpapered shelves...and couldn't agree more about the baskets...toys, magazines, clutter...GONE!
Love her house. I have been wanting that love painting for years.....so cool!
It has every one of my favorite things! Love how family friendly it seems.
This house is beautiful. I have loved that LOVE painting ever since I saw in it in Sex and the City

Oh Paula I went Oo and Ah over every single picture!

what a sweet home. The clock in the second pic seems like something from Alice in Wonderland
The LOVE painting that was in SATC movie!
Oh wow, I love this! I feel like I'm always in a constant battle between a love of color and feeling suffocated by it. This space balances it perfectly.
What a charming home - I am the same way.. no color. It terrifies me :) I am also a basket collector, and let me tell you managing at Pottery Barn sure didnt help the situation! xo
So many bright and fun colors in this home- I love how they all are different yet work so well together!
I have really been enjoying BHG lately. I love that backsplash. I saw your pic on party perfect before I read anything and thought it looked familiar. Congrats he and the party were adorable!
it really is a perfect blend. great post!
I want that home office! Looks like the end of a hallway or just a pass through, great use of the space. Thank you for sharing.
Second picture, the print/painting/pretty square object up top, I love it!
What a beautiful home. The kitchen is stunning and I love that little desk nook. Gorgeous.
this is so cute and fun! but I am totally the same way. I try to do color(s), I honestly do. But I usually can't stand it for very long and almost always regret a colorful purchase. at least we can express our colorful desires on our blogs!
I love the details. The use of the two rugs in the first picture, ingenious!

I love that these spaces are casual enough to feel inviting and yet pretty enough to feel a little refined. :)

Hi! I'm your newest follower. These are great sources of inspiration!
Loving all these rooms. The colors, fabrics. I love the bamboo chippendale chair. I can't wait to have one of my own.
Oh my, I love the wallpapered bookshelves. I would love to do something like this someday.
I am in love with this whole house... particularly that kitchen!!! The little desk nook is pretty perfect to me too.
