Today we’re in the kitchen. Often called the heart of the home, it’s the place where families gather and meals are made (or in my case, heated in the microwave).

Lately, I’m seriously intrigued by white kitchens. Whether they be pure white-on-white, or incorporate tonal creams and grays, here’s a collection that I absolutely love.

Keira’s Nursery Chapter I: The Room

Okay, so after many months of promising to share pics of Keira’s nursery, I’m finally doing it.  I’m super pleased with how the room turned out. Between a couple of splurges, quite a bit of bargain hunting and some DIY projects, I was able to complete the space and come in under my $3000 budget… hooray!

I wanted a room that was feminine but not too girly or young.  The color palette consisted primarily of various shades of pink (but NOT pink walls), white, grey and gold as that perfect sophisticated accent.

The wall color (Mauve Morning by BEHR; The Home Depot) creates a calming ambiance that really grounds the room.  Surprisingly my husband picked the color (well, he selected it out of the 3 swatches I put on the wall).  

Here are details on some of the key products in the room.

Note: I added a little twist to the dresser… more to come in a future post

Hope you love the space as much as I do.  Stay tuned for more details of how the space came together.

P.S. Curious to see before pictures… here you go

The Patriotic Patio

Ahhh, July 4th… BBQ, fireworks, fun in the sun, and most importantly, a day off of work :).  In honor of Independence Day, I thought I’d focus on an outdoor space and keep things festive with a red, white and blue color scheme. I’m not one to embrace the ‘Yankee Doodle’ literal interpretation, so here’s my take on the patriotic patio.

Whether designing an indoor or outdoor space, I love to mix different styles to create a space that feels unique and inviting.  Here’s how I brought the space together:

First I brought in rustic and nautical elements.  The rustic items play off of the existing horizontal wooden panels and preserve the natural feel of the outdoor space. The nautical pieces hint toward the waters that lie beyond the infinity pool.

1. Planter – Anthropologie | 2. Table – Wayfair.com| 3. Light Fixture – Anthropologie | 4. Hammock – Anthropologie| 5. Rug – Wayfair.com | 6. Pillow – bludot.com

Next I brought in modern and contemporary touches both of which add pops of color.  The modern elements follow the architectural details of the home, while the contemporary elements tie everything together creating a cohesive and functional space.

1. Bench – Wayfair.com| 2. Lounge Chair – similar lexmod.com| 3. Dining Chair, 4. Vase, 5. Pillow, 6. Umbrella, 7. Stool – all Wayfair.com

 

So, that’s my take on the patriotic patio. Cheers to mixing design styles to create a one-of-a-kind space, and showing patriotism all summer long.

Happy 4th of July!
