Grey country kitchen...

 

I stumbled across this photo from our vintage home love on pinterest and I was smitten- love those shelves!  

Wishing you an inspired Monday morning to get you started this week.  We have 2 photo shoots scheduled and somehow have to figure out how to work that in with actual work this week!  I love weeks like this, that keep me moving though- it makes for a much faster trip towards the next weekend.

kitchen windows

 

Natural light in the kitchen is the most amazing thing- that and the fresh air that the open windows bring to the space.  These windows are beautiful and open up the garden outside what a dream.  I love the farmhouse sink and the gorgeous detail on the ceiling too.  

Wishing you a lovely start to the week this Monday morning.

Grey and natural in the kitchen..

 

I thought it might be nice to ease into the weekend with a beautiful kitchen image.  I love the softness of the cabinetry and the contrast of the natural wood- um and the floor is fabulous!

Have an amazing Friday...

weekend wishes...

 

Gosh, the weekend is already well underway and I am just getting to posting- sorry about that!  I spent the day in LA yesterday at the gift show finding treasure to add to the shop- look for some more great new pieces coming very soon.

Here are a few of the things that have made my week!

I want to get away.. to Africa that is.. I am completely in awe.

Is it shorts season yet..  I think I could live in these. (dreaming here)

Phone cases are an obsession.. Have this one.. want this one

Salad is my favorite thing most of the time.. I am not talking about just lettuce and some dressing.. this is a real salad

I am off to Las Vegas for the furniture show tomorrow and I cannot wait to show you what we find!

Designers at home.. life in flux

 

So sorry for the silence for the past few days... it has been a little wild here and this coming week is going to make last week look like a cake walk!  We finally had some photos taken, by a real professional, last week and I snapped a few myself which could never compare!  But the kitchen was styled and the house was clean so it is always a good idea to check and see what will be seen through the lens..  I was thinking about it though and I realized that I, like I am sure many designers, live in a constant state of change.  We are always changing this or that - a chair here- pillows everywhere - accessories like crazy!  (I really do feel bad for my husband but what can you do!)  So this is my still my first table and chairs since the remodel in the kitchen... something new is coming though.

How about you- are you a changer/exchanger throughout the house?

For those who asked the chairs can be found here/the table is custom. :)

Dark grey in the kitchen..

 

I love the dark details in this kitchen it makes it feel so warm and welcoming.  Usually I love the light filled kitchen but this seems so much more fall to me.  Beautiful!

simple greige

 

I love the simple clean lines of this home..  The floor makes me smile.. and just how clean and easy it all seems.  The texture is just enough and the dark grout in the backsplash keeps the tile from being too white.. perfect.

eames molded dining chairs

 

If you have seen my pinterest boards lately you will see how much I am loving the mix of traditional and modern pieces in spaces.  My latest love is the eames molded dining chair.  I cannot explain why I love it mixed with all types of things.  It is simple and fun and makes me happy!

It can go industrial, glam, modern and country..  what's not to like.

I am thinking of putting them in my kitchen nook for a fun little change, I have a problem I know!

What do you think?  Love?

Kitchen Lanterns..

 

Ummm.. what can I say here, I adore the small lanterns hung in this kitchen.  So simple and almost out of scale but in reality absolute perfection for this type of understated style.  The stools are not to shabby either.  These lantern style pendants reminded me of some that I am loving from Circa right now!  

 

This small version of the Morris Lantern is a cutie and I can see extending the chain to get this look.  Perfection.  However, if you know where a couple of little guys just like this can be found please send over the info as I would love to recommend them for a project I am working on!

Unique

 

I know I was going to post about our trip to LA today but the schedule just did not allow.  So I am sharing this amazing bar photo.  I love the unique construction of this piece, it is so very unique!  Lately it is harder and harder to come by really unique inpiration images and this one is just dreamy to me.

You can see more of the space here.

Also, congratulations to Andrea at The French Basketeer on winning the Nathan Turner book giveaway!

white and bright kitchen

 

Once we really get moving in the new year all I want is clean and bright- it is like I need to fast track to Spring to make everything new again!  I love this clean kitchen with that touch of dark grey in the pendants and the appliances.  Just about perfection.

Choices choices

 

I am so excited that the appliances are arriving today.  It sounds silly even to me as I don't really love to cook, but I like the option to cook.  Options and choices that seems to be a huge part of this kitchen remodeling thing.  I had a hard time picking appliances.  I knew in my heart what I wanted but things change as you design spaces and figure out your needs {likes, dislikes and budget}.  I knew I wanted a Viking cook top but had planned on sticking with our double wall ovens that were in the original kitchen layout.  Little did I know that the cost of those ovens {used once a year} was triple what I wanted to spend.  So I opted for the 36" Viking range.  I cannot wait to see it in it's new spot and feel like a real cook {ha ha} when I use it.  

I will send over some cookies from the first batch!

Dark kitchen storage..

 

I am daydreaming again, I know it will soon be a reality but my house is a mess. All of the furniture on the lower level is covered in plastic and not accessible.   Soon Soon they tell me that we can move all of our things back in and I am waiting (kinda) patiently.  I love both of these storage pieces and cannot wait for the piece that I am having made to come in!  So ready.

California style {Ryan Murphy at home in Hollywood}

 

Ryan Murphy and David Miller's California home is the perfect mix of old California and new.  I love the clean lines of the kitchen mixed with the rustic table and it's wood and leather chairs. Each space seems to pull it off perfectly with a simple palette and clean white walls.
