Apothecary Cabinets + Rustic Kitchen Charm

The Apothecary Cabinet:

So many of us are in love with these old apothecary drawers, or we try to imitate the style in our new construction and design. I am not sure I get the Why of this attraction, but I've got it bad...

 I mean, on a practical note, who is able to remember what is in each of those tiny drawers?  

Some apothecary drawers are more or less something like 6 down  by 6 across = 36 drawers! 

For me, the solution is to keep the look of many small drawers, which  actually cover no more than one or two larger,more usable storage space drawers.

These are some great examples:

  

It's a look that everyone wants to have or to emulate. Today's "apothecary"

is the Pharmacist. Hmm...I wonder if we should all gout and stalk pharmacies and other medical dispensaries for more cool design ideas!

Have a great day!

Bathroom Ideas, from Cute to Classic

I've enjoyed this new trend among many of my friends

 to go absolutely wild with the bathroom decor...

...which usually happens in a guest or half bath, if you have one. 

It's a nice, small ( usually) space with which to let your design ideas go wild!  

Meanwhile, here is a small array of bath designs to spark your imagination

 for the real, hardworking bathroom:

Love that bathroom design and layout:

Love the orange, and  LOOK AT ALL THE WONDERFUL DETAILS:

Love the liittle (useful!) pedestal table:

Even a hardworking bathroom deserves to have a little fun!

Have a great day!
