Kitchen Eat-In Reveal
Today I’d like to show you the eat-in space of our kitchen. To make it more dramatic, let’s see what it used to look like first. As some of you may recall, this was the light that was there when we moved in:
Changing it was one of the first things I wanted to do but [...]
Bathroom Sconces and a Few New Pretties in the Kitchen
I finally decided on the wall sconces for the master bath. They’re part of the Lugarno series from Restoration Hardware. We have two vanities in there so that means four scones so I wanted something really simple because I think four of anything can get to be too much. Our bathroom kind of looks [...]
A Mini Before & After of the Kitchen + Winner of India Giveaway
***Note: if you are reading this through Google Reader or some other reader, you may only see a partial post. Something has gone crazy with my feeds. I’m looking into it and hope to have it sorted out soon.***
Since the Before & After post about our kitchen on Pure Style Home last week, there have [...]
Candidates for Kitchen Pendants
I want to replace the two pendant lights over the kitchen island as part of my lighting overhaul and I think I’ve narrowed down the choices to two styles.
First is something classic but industrial like these:
The second option (and on the complete other side of the spectrum of course), something frilly and fancy like these:

Things Are Cooking in the New Kitchen (and I’m Not Talking About Food)
Happy 2010, everyone! I hope you had a fun night ringing in the new year. We had a nice dinner out and then it was pretty much early to bed for us old folks!
Earlier in the day though there was a lot of activity in our new kitchen. (Again, sorry for the crappy pics.) It’s [...]
More Gray Paint and a House Update
I’m going to meet with my painter tomorrow to talk about paint colors. I’m going to do it – I’m going to paint the kitchen cabinets gray! I’ve been staring at paint swatches all weekend and still haven’t come to a decision. If anyone has a gray paint they like, please share.

Gray Kitchens
Until we actually close on our house, I’m trying to walk a fine line between planning our move and not getting too carried away in case it falls through. And that, my dear readers, is no easy task! It’s even harder not to talk about the house because that’s all I want to do! [...]
Think Pink. For The Sink?
I’m loving this kitchen for so many reasons – all the white, the great use of space with the very shallow open shelving, the black and white accessories with pops of pink and . . .
a pink sink! I would have never in a million years thought of color for a sink. But why not? [...]
Kitchen Window Project
We have this window in the kitchen above the sink which is nice and all but the view is kind of hideous. So I usually just keep the blinds closed but that means the kitchen doesn’t get any natural light. I had been planning on having the glass replaced with frosted glass at some point [...]
Sometimes, I Can Actually Be Decisive.
I managed to get to Crate & Barrel this weekend for dinnerware. The set I wanted turned out to be on sale. Bonus! I had planned on getting only one bowl but both sizes looked useful so I got both.
Wherefore Art Thou, Orla?

This is what I was hoping to do yesterday – stand around happily surrounded by my bounty of Orla Kiely stuff from Target. But it seems the debut date is February 15, not February 1, at least in some stores. The wait is KILLING me.
New Dinnerware
I decided it’s time to replace our everyday dinnerware. I’m tired of the white bistro set we’ve had for a while now. A part of me just wants a clean, simple rimmed set like this one from Crate & Barrel:
But as usual, another part of me wants something entirely different – more organic like:
