Warm Patina...

Here is a kitchen that is more on the traditional side, but still has that hint of warm patina.
Samantha Lyman designed this charming California kitchen, adding a white glass sheet backsplash coupled with delicate jeweled hardware.  My favorite are the lights fixtures, they were taken from an old Dutch ship.
... don't you love old conversation pieces?!

I'm typically more into open shelving, but I'm loving the clean, white, floor to ceiling cabinets.  They don't shout out as much but provide tons of storage!

I hope you're enjoying your week!

An Eclectic Georgian...

I don't know if it's the time of year or what - but I'm going crazy over the colors in his beautiful Georgian style home located in London's Stockwell district!!! 
If you love hints of funky bohemian and you're a fan of Anthropologie - you will adore this home and it's unexpected colors paired with bold pieces of furniture:






































Such an inspiring home of every level!
Don't you love that gorgeous candy colored Murano Chandelier in the entryway (pic 7) coupled with that teal rug... to die for!!!

Hope you're enjoying your week!

Kitchen Inspiration...

I'm always filing away images that are inspiring.
These kitchens - even though they're all unique in style - have a similar cohesiveness and genre;  I like to pull bits and pieces from each image.  This allows a space to be a little unpredictable but still have a flow that someone can still wrap their mind around.
I have pulled at least one idea from each of these images for my new kitchen... I'm excited to show you when It's all done!

I'm curious - which kitchen are you more drawn to?

Happy Tuesday to all of you!

Belgian, French And Swedish Flair...

Many of you know that my favorite compilations of style is French, Belgian and Swedish design.
They play off each other so effortlessly - adding that perfect touch of neo-classical, rough-organic and monochromatic serenity!

An Eclectic Kitchen...

This kitchen has everything going on... everything from industrial cape cod to hints of traditional French... I find it interesting and fun!













Are we seeing a little Daryl Carter with the open wood shelving... I think yes! 

Who would have thought to couple a marble sink with black granite?!
Nothing surprises me anymore.
