Exceptionally Eclectic – Colorful California Roost

January 5, 2013  Exceptionally Eclectic | Uncategorized

California Decorating Style home tour - love the blue door! kellyelko.com

Wish they all could be California girls …

While I’m channeling the Beach Boys, Bonnie from Going Home to Roost is living the life in sunny California in her charming home that she’s really made her own.  She’s got California decorating style down to a t.

It starts at the colorful door where even Toaster the dog is golden.

 

That wall of windows has me seeing green for miles – literally.

Colorful touches warm up the kitchen …

 

Love this fun and fresh white kitchen kellyelko.com

 

and a desk that’s made for daydreaming.

 

Such a cute little office nook - love the shelf over the window kellyelko.com

 

Listen!  Can’t you just hear that driftwood wind chime – see how Bonnie made it.

Have you heard about my quest for the perfect sign – well, I think I’ve finally found it.

A bedroom that is truly made for nesting.

 

Love this pallet headboard in this fun California cottage tour kellyelko.com

 

But I’m sure this is where Bonnie spends most of her time twin hammocks for her and her hubby (or maybe it’s for the dog)!

Bonnie has some fabulous projects too like what I think would make the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts – plants in a mug with a packet of tea attached and a free printable tag!

So while I’m dreaming of being a California girl, I can visit Bonnie at Going Home to Roost and live vicariously through her.

 

Wish they all could be California …

    Beautiful home! I would give anything for that wisteria. Every time I visit California it makes me think the people who live there are so lucky. Thanks for sharing!

    So being that old California girl that I am my old eyes played eye spy. I spied yummy avocados in the hanging basket…. and are those grape vines I see off in the distance beyond the hammocks?

    Simply gorgeous. Anywhere that has a big ‘ole pup lounging around the entry, you know is going to be fantastic. So bright, airy and fresh… and all those windows with breathtaking views! You’ve got me daydreaming and singing! (It IS nice to be a California girl, btw!) xoxo jules from cali

    Love this home!! I could sit here for minutes and talk about each detail that I love … well, it would probably take longer than a few minutes. Gorgeous home.
