Let’s face it, natural light is the best when it comes to interior design. There’s nothing better than large windows that the sunlight can cascade through, illuminating the entire room and yielding a delicious warmth that only the sun can deliver. One of our absolute favorite features in a home are skylights. Skylights in the kitchen, in the bedroom and even in the bathroom- these overhead windows allow bright light to flood in making everything look so much better.  Here’s a look at some of our favorite takes on these heavenly panes!

One of our absolute favorite features in a property is a private dock. A place to walk out and sip your morning coffee on as the world slowly wakes up. A perfect runway to dash down on a hot summer day, diving into the crisp, cool water- washing away the stresses of the afternoon. And alas, the ideal spot to relax as the sun dips down into the horizon, painting dramatic hues of oranges, pinks and reds across the western sky- perhaps casting out a line in hopes of catching dinner. Being that we are surrounded by water, we are privileged to have spent many a great moments perched upon these nautical wooden pathways. We look forward to many more waterside memories this summer!

This weekend, Libby Kirwin Real Estate is pleased to fuse 2 of our favorite things together: Real Estate and YOGA! Whilst hosting an Open House at 31 Carter Drive in Portsmouth from 10am to 1pm, the lovely Hillary Olinger will be hosting a trunk show featuring NUX yoga gear. This is in perfect timing for Libby’s 30 day personal yoga challenge.  So grab your morning cup o’ joe and head on out to Portsmouth to view a freshly renovated home and to snag some of the season’s hottest workout gear. Namaste.

Old McDonald shouldn’t be the only one who gets to enjoy the rustic architecture of barns. We are loving the look of re-purposed barn doors inside the home. Put on a sliding track or opening traditionally into a living room- barn doors add a touch of pastoral chic to an urban interior pallet. We love them best when contrasted against uber-modern decor. Sharp lines and mod lighting fixtures juxtaposed with large, wooden gate-like doors. The first image below is taken at one of our new rental properties located in Middletown, RI which boasts a super-charming barn door separating the kitchen and dining area from the living room.

As the weather starts to heat up this spring, we can’t help but dream of lying poolside, sipping ice cold lemonade, reading a great book and soaking in plenty of sunshine. Surrounded entirely by the salty Atlantic, Newport is not known for our abundance of in-ground pools so we must rely on our imaginations to transport us to a plush chaise lounge overlooking an ice blue pool of perfectly cool, refreshing water.

Pools are ideal spots to host swanky summer gatherings- think Diddy’s WHITE PARTY in the Hamptons- while they’re also fantastic locations for intimate dinner parties or brunch spreads. Enjoyed solo or with a handful of your favorite people, we love a well-done pool environment complete with posh furniture and manicured greenery.
