Memorable Design....Kitchen-ly Chic

One thing that develops and changes in wonderfully dramatic ways is the kitchen.

 La Cornue, Wolf, Sub- Zero,Kitchenmade, Caesarstone...

 have galleries full of these great new design ideas,

 highlighting their own products, of course, while giving us lovely food for thought.

 Ideas, both high and low - end,  just fly at you!

Over the top yet balanced:

Glass tiles, industrial pendants,the hidden fridge,

 the graduated tones of blue...wow

More affordable wow:

Sweet country look:

Interesting and appealing:

I love this kitchen's lighting/pot rack and that red 

hutch, the wonderful ceiling, the  stools, the island ...

Those marble countertops are so great:

Some of the flooring ideas really caught my eye...in addition to the wood, the black, the white, the rustic, the commercial, the industral...well. you know!

Have a great day~

Exquisite Kitchen Design and Detail Ideas ~

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas...!

This kitchen corner below grabs me and calls me in...

Wood cabinetry with glass fronts and  checked fabric,

 pretty metal hardware, with a metal flower vase,

checked floor, rich trim, patterned ceiling...

I wonder what is behind the curtain covering the 

picture frame-sized opening in the wall by the window.

 This has great pendants, countertops and hardware, 

not to mention the cooker! 

All set off by a happy and clean white paint:

CLOCK! I am stealing this idea the second I find that clock...

Check out the wainscotting/millwork/trim. 

And sconces. And ...just look at these details!

This is a look that will never go away because it is so comforting, warm and cheerful.

 And check out the cabinetry, especially the  hardware!!!

For laypeople like me, this is a challenge to the eye, 

to what is expected, but a great lesson, too:  I love the mix of lighting 

and the finish on the refrigerator doors.

This kitchen focuses on simplicity, with each

 item simply designed and well made. 

The view becomes the detail.

I think of this as The Library Effect,  with the shelving color and style,, 

unusual cabinetry doors (mirrored!), and lighting.

Small, super simple.  The white and steel, the uncovered windows revealing gorgeous greenery, and the lighting and lack of clutter give it such casual élan.

So I can do lack of clutter and the clock idea, and get very happy!
How about you?!
Have a happy day!

6 Brilliant, Original, Truly Exquisite Design Ideas

A dreamy wallpaper at the back of a glass cabinetry:

TV in the laundry room:

Allee Willis took a flimsy-brass-mirror porthole, 

sunk it into the floor, to serve as a laundry chute!!

Trompe loeil wallpaper>> impressive interest for a flat door!

 Add a  shelf above a doorway, paint it to match the trim,

 then use it to display pottery , books, etc... 

Use a ladder as a bath towel rack

Clever, aren't they!?
Have a great day!
