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!

Modern country kitchen..

 

This is such a great kitchen.  I cannot decide if I like the lowered eating areas that are so popular right now off of the islands.  What do you think?  I think this one is well done and the stools make it!

On a quick note- I was so excited that Pinterest came out with their new IPad app- if you have not tried it you should, it is very wonderful!

 

Gorgeous transitional mix.. timeless

 

I am loving the mix in this house of rustic and traditional with a bit of vintage put in there!  So fun, it reminds me that we should design with what we love, to make a great mix of styles and to not be married to anything that would make the space anything but timeless. 

There is so much going on this month I cannot wait until I have a moment to share some of my latest projects with you and all of the great things that are coming for this year!

Simply French Country

I love the simplicity of it all.  The colors are soft, all white dishes, simple repetition, and clean lines.  So relaxed.

This weekend is full of chores and work on the Master Bath.  I should have everything ordered and going.  With all of the final decisions made around here I should be able to give you a little update.  I am excited but very ready for it to be finished!!  

What are you up to this weekend?

Stunning kitchen

I love the subtle textures and colors in this kitchen and how they contrast so well with the range.  It just seems so classic and old world in a way.
