Kitchen Designs...so many kitchen ideas...

Each one is so filled with beautiful ideas; Sigh of happiness....

This little corner is perhaps my favorite

...size really does not matter.

Have a great day!

Classic Wooden Beam Ideas

Many spaces

( like maybe a tiny 60's or 70's ranch house ...?)

get a "Lift"  with

 opened up attic space, and  

solid, stabilizing beams.

How about a garage?

 you're feeling nautical, 

But even if you don't want or have the space to raise to roof, so to speak,

(perhaps you're feeling nautical?) 

a low-ish ceiling with beams hits the style mark beautifully:

Painted white, they still manage to cozy up this gorgeous kitchen:

Here's a creative beam curve:

Farmhouse/Barn style:

Here is a really beautiful version of beams in this Gorgeous Hacienda:

Have a wonderful, beamish day!

Kitchen Style: Open Shelving

Open-shelving PRO: It looks great and it's practical because it's easy to see what you have and forces you not to just shove things away into hiding.

Open-shelving CON: Dust =extra work, like dusting each item - and around the items - to get the shelf clean, rinsing off each item before use. Can look cluttered. 

The pros and cons are even in my book, and the winner is always 

compromise: 

put up as much open shelving as you can comfortably maintain.

If you have the self-discipline to keep the colors and items 

as orderly as these then go for this pretty, stylish kitchen:

Here the discipline is far less rigid and

 the look is an updated, smart, friendly look:

I absolutely LOVE this stove shelf for the kitchen:

Open shelving for a pretty collection of tea-time vessels:

 Charming:

Glass-fronted cabinets are another option...
Have a great day!

So Perfect, Some Preppie

Clean, simple design, with at least a hint of the preppy style is a great look.

 It does not require a huge income, but it really helps -- especially if you

 are looking for something like an authentic beach or rocky shores connection...

Simple, classic, and comfortable are key words for this look:

A modern take:

Eloise at the Plaza chic:

A Southern take:

A New England take:

Black and Tan...perfect anywhere!

The formal in these rooms are a relaxed version. 

They make one feel so content.

 Even if you don't have the Cape Cod shore or 

the huge weathered clapboard Homestead with pool, 

you can still pull this look off. 

That's why I adore it.

Have a great day!
