Stunning archways, lanterns, vibrant pink and purple flowers, a pool I could sit by for hours, brick, a fountain and a dollhouse-looking guest house...that's enough to send me into lalaland! Let's all meet here this weekend for a little tea party. Who's joining me?! :)
Be sure to email me any projects you'd like to have featured here this Thursday! I'll be reviewing the submissions today! I'm excited to be hosting my very first reader feature day. Hope you have a Thursday as lovely as this southern garden!Love,

Do you ever see something and love it, but you're not exactly able to put your finger on why?! I am feeling that way with these photos. This home is gorgeous, and although it's a little different than what I normally gravitate towards, I'm in love with what I see. I think what I love about it are all the old and charming touches within the traditional design. Can we just talk about that brick floor and those sliding barn doors in the family room? Amazing. I'm also struck by all of the carefully placed chandeliers and pendants. {I'm sure my lighting professor would say they aren't practical, but this girl doesn't care! Sometimes beauty comes before function...especially when your home is gracing the pages of a beautiful magazine;)} The mosaic tiling in the bathroom is gorg, and of course I'm loving all the tiny touches of purple. Let's not dismiss the main attraction- holy gallery wall! Now that, friends, is how you go big. So maybe it's not that I don't know why I love the home, it's that I just love everything :)
What's your favorite part of the home?Have a wonderful Tuesday!Love,

How's that for some Tuesday inspiration? {I think we all needed that after last night's horribly upsetting episode of the Bachelor! Are you with me?!}While surfing none other than House Beautiful, I found some delightful images I knew I needed to share. What was it about these interiors that I loved oh-so-much? The color and textures! I also love that I'm not normally drawn to spaces with the least bit of clutter, and yet I adore both the bookcases and desk space. I'd call that stylish-clutter {now you're all asking yourself if you can justify your desk area ;) }...and any bulletin board with that much inspiration pinned up is a winner if you ask me!
What's your favorite element in these spaces?!Love,PS. The winner of the Twirl headband giveaway is #16, Jessica of A Day in the Life of the Crimella's. Hooray! I will email you today to get you your prize :)

This year, HGTV's 2012 Dream Home is a modern, rustic, and western ranch in Utah. You know I love me some rustic/modern pairings, and this house is no exception. While I was longing to see a few lighter and brighter touches to the home, I did love how warm, cozy and inviting it is. My favorite part of the house is that stunning floor-to-ceiling brick living room. Ahhh! It's safe to say I'd definitely accept if I were to win the dream house (:
I can't wait to watch the special on January 2nd!
What about you? What's your favorite part of the home?Happy Weekend!Love,
PS. I have two sponsor spots left for January. If you'd like to advertise on Michaela Noelle Designs, please email me at michaelawarner90@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Love to have you! xo

Southern homes have my heart. Someday when I design and build my own home, I will have Southern design at the forefront on my mind. A front porch {complete with a swing and fans} will be the family hang out spot, columns will draw your eyes up, sweet shutters will frame each window, and pretty brick will wrap the bottom of the home while white siding sits on the top half. I can see it now.
I took a packing break to sketch it for you...
You're all invited over anytime (:
Happy Thursday!Love,
