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~

Always Appealing: Cottage Details

Cottages are easy to love. 

The design guidelines call for a relaxed, perhaps weathered, and historied beauty. 

This includes antiques, flea market finds, bead-board, weathered items, simple curtains, 

relaxed lines, unusual finds, and  whimsical items.

These rooms have the Right Cottage Touch~

I hope you enjoyed this little jaunt through cottage-y images. It is such a friendly, do-able style...
Have a great day!
