From the personal file.... I would learn how to cook for this!

Isn't this kitchen absolutely beautiful and simple?  

This is ideal... nothing over the top and just the right amount of flair. 

The most creative use of zig-zag

I absolutely love the use of zig zag in this kitchen.

Zig-zag has been so popular, but this really is unique! I dig it!

From the personal file... Modern meets girly-chic!

This is just too lovely for words.  

I rarely have kitchens in "my personal file" but this one is just way too good!  

The copper/rose gold colored pendants and the wallpaper pairing are stunning,

 especially with the super modern backdrop!

Bravo!

Why don't you brighten up!?

 I'm debating on painting my kitchen cabinets one of these days.... And, aren't these fun inspirations for some bold, bright, and happy??  What do you think of it?

Keep it clean, airy, and bright

  So clean and airy, and what a great way to guarantee your shelves will stay nice and tidy... since it will have a full on view at all times.  Also, a budget friendly idea for new kitchen cabinets.

A black and white kitchen with some zip!

This kitchen is great and all- - but what got me to make the post was the flooring in this kitchen.  It gives it so much zip!

Feminine in the coolest way

Isn't this kitchen pretty bad ass? I am really digging the pale color palette. Tres Chic. That murano chandelier and how long it is and ornate and fragile and delicate is blowing me away. I love how soft and sweet it is against the stream lined indistrial vibed cabinetry. Also loving the dining chairs. Pretty sick room.

A Glamorous Fix Up!

I love this....

This kitchen was featured in Lonny Mag.... a perfect example if you don't want to re-do kitchen cabinets, but want to spruce up your kitchen... Just put up wallpaper, a glitzy chandelier and a white bamboo mirror.

A Happy Kitchen

Like the tiled backspash. Very cool. (and check out those blue stairs - interesting)

A Bad Ass Kitchen

This kitchen is bad ass. Enough said.

A Great Looking Kitchen.

This is a neat kitchen. It's easy, its clean, but it has a punch of fun without being overwhelming or cheesy. I love that the owner of this space chose a risky print, even thought when you look at it here, it comes off as super classic and casual. The cabinets in white are so clean too. Also - love the punch of yellow for the bar stools and the offset of the wood chopping block for the center island. Very cool.

From the Personal File....

Well here is a seriously glammed out kitchen, and I looooove it!
1. Setting the tone for the glam-o kitchen would be the wallpaper and the chandelier right off the bat.
2. Also, this is a serious kitchen for the fantastic entertainer with the gorgeous, top of the line stainless steel appliances.
3. I am loving the sleekness of it, and the classic feel with the white marble tops, Crystal candle sticks, and white subway tiles for the back splash.
4. I love how even though it has a lot of attitude, its not overwhelming and it feels airy.

Lovely Lovely Lovely!

Two Very Happy Kitchens!

Here are two kitchens that I just think are darling. Both use happy paint colors to transform not-so-exciting cabinet doors, and awesome printed wallpaper or fabric to liven up the space. These are fantastic ideas for renters (ask your landlord first if you can paint though!) or anyone on a tight budget but want to jazz up their kitchen.

A Beautiful Pale Blue Kitchen

I was surfing some of my favorite blogs when I came across the most beautiful kitchen, and I had to post it. This kitchen belongs to Linda Banks, a very well known Interior Designer whose designs have been seen in many major home publications. This is her kitchen in main, and it's just stunning. I am loving the pale blue cabinetry with those white walls, stainless steel appliances and those super black countertops. This is amazing! I'd love to look out those windows from this kitchen every day! (well.... at least I can thru this picture!)

From the Personal File....

I've never shown a kitchen before from my personal file... This is the kitchen belonging to Aerin Lauder, heir of the Estee Lauder fortune. This girl has such sick style, I do have more images from her homes - so they will be posted soon.
1. I love how clean this kitchen is WITHOUT it being stark. I think that can be hard to execute sometimes.
2. The accessories are fantastic - from the collection of white pitchers, to the big vase of green florals, to artwork leaning against the backsplash.
3. The center island is grand but not over the top and those chairs are special.
4. Love the hardwood floors.
5. The lighting choices are great with the pendants. It's old school/retro but without the kitsch.

Bravo!!!

Vintage Pyrex Collections....

My best friend has the cutest collection of Pyrex vintage containers. She LOVES them and its so much fun being on the hunt with her for new additions. She is extremely meticulous on the pieces she chooses for her collection, as she only picks happy cobalt blues and shades of orange. She uses them all the time, microwave, oven, (or, in her case: Mikey's cereal bowl).

You can find them at flea markets, antique malls, Etsy.com, and Ebay. Happy Hunting!

A Happy Kitchen

I saw this kitchen at Design Sponge and fell in love. How darling is it!? The piece of art completely dictated the accents for the stove color (or vice versa) Either way.... it works for me!

An Easy Kitchen for Apartment Living

I thought this was a fantastic kitchen for the apartment set! Especially when you have to make do with your cabinetry and appliances.

I love how the owner of this kitchen found a rug they loved and then chose wall paint, a chandelier, and accessories to color coordinate around.
