    Unique, beautiful, and functional kitchens

    So pretty and light-filled…!

    I like open shelving, but I (and boyfriend) are not quite disciplined enough to keep things that neat all the time.

    Which do you like?

    A potpourri of French pretty…

    From our effortlessly stylish friends across the pond…

    I have that rocking chair!  Just not that much light

    I never would have thought to put a wicker chair in with that stainless steel table – but it looks good here

    What do you think of the french style?

    Gorgeous interiors from some of my favorite blogs…

    The one thing I miss about the days before I started blogging was that I actually had time to explore the blogs that I love and that inspired me to start blogging in the first place. Well, that’s why I started regularly posting groups of images from my favorite blogs – so I get to visit my favorite sites, but still feel like I’m being productive.

    In no particular order…

    Below are finds from the always elegant Belle Vivir

    this is a bathroom!

    You can probably tell the 4 yummy images below are Scandinavian interiors, from the wonderfully Scandinavian themed Designpiration

    I love this kitchen!!!  It’s very rustic, but I think I could manage just fine…

    The below are from the lovely “Oh So Beautiful Paper

    these bedrooms are heaven

    This amazing cabinet is from the Two’s Company display at last year’s NYIGF.

  • Wonderful eclectic

    Wonderful eclectic

    Eclectic is one of my all-time favorite decorating styles. There’s nothing quite as special as a home filled with one’s treasure’s from traveling, or just unique finds brought over from another land…

    Love this softly colored kitchen.  It was originally a sitting room, but the owners loved it so much they transformed it into a kitchen.

    I generally try not to get swept up in trends but I really love suzani.  The table filled with objects is nice, too.

    beautiful

  • Super cute and charming kitchens…

    Super cute and charming kitchens…

    So not all of these kitchens are tiny cottage nooks, but they aren’t the glossy granite and marble monstrosities you’d see in the high-end home decor mags either. Most are modest and give me hope that no matter how small the kitchen in my future rental, I can give it some charm and make it work for me…

    Some vintage stools add coziness and floor to ceiling cabinets and creative storage solutions makes this small kitchen clever

    So, tomorrow morning I am flying back to the states after living/working in Spain for the last 4 months, so I won’t be posting — have a great weekend!

  • The CL 2010 House of the Year – and it’s all eco-friendly (and beautiful)

    The CL 2010 House of the Year – and it’s all eco-friendly (and beautiful)

    Eco-friendly is getting prettier and prettier every year, making it not just easy on the earth, but easy on the eyes. Country Living put together this idea house full of inspiration. The house is actually a modular, pre-fab cottage, and available for purchase by the public. Read all the details for the house, rooms, and resources here.

    What do you like about this house? Not like so much?

    I LOVE the entryway. What a great space to see first thing when you walk in the door after work.

    What do you think of wallpaper on the ceiling?




    You may think all of these framed prints cost a fortune, but really all you need to accomplish this look are some basic frames, and then a used book of botanical or nature illustrations. Carefully remove the pages that you like and insert them in the frames!
