Okay now this kitchen contains a few of my favorites.. lots of light, concrete sink and counters with white cabinets. Another contender in my list of favorites. What do you think? I am curious does anyone have concrete counters in their house? How do you like them? I love how these are thin and simple with a small back splash.
Thank you to Betsy who had more information on the kitchen pictured... this product is
Fireslate which is a combination of cement, silica and other items... kinda cool.

Lately I have seen some of the most beautiful grey or gray kitchens. I know that these are some of my most popular posts over time. So I thought that it would be nice to do a little series on them until we run out (could be forever).
This is the first of the series and I must say that I am loving this too.. the grey with the white is very clean and simple and the addition of a little exposed storage or display.

The texture of cement is so fantastic when it is natural or with a smooth finish and a small amount of nuetural color. The color is truly an artistic endeavor. I am using a custom made cement counter and molded sink in an upcoming project and I am so excited to see how they turn out. The finishes had the smallest differences and I really loved them all.
These walls are so amazing with the natural light in this picture.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Maybe this weekend I will have a little time to take some photos of my treasures from the last few weeks of shopping.

I am 100% in love with the new pieces from Ochre. I have this thing about unique lighting, I love it, it is the thing that I think can really make a room. Lighting is like the amazing pair of shoes you put with jeans and a sweater to make your outfit a little extra ordinary.

I love the eclectic style of these spaces, it looks like a home of pieces truly loved. The case full of clothing is the best.

This is so fantastic! I love that someone can appreciate the imperfection of this wall and see it as art.
I hope you are having a wonderful week! We are running around like crazy here- up to our eyeballs in boxes and packing up all of those purchases from the sale.
I cannot thank you all enough for all of your support with everything in my business including the blog.!!!

I have this deep love for vintage urns, I was browsing through the new container images from the boys at
Atelier de Campagne and I am loving all of these.. Pairs of them make my heart skip a beat!
Can you imagine them flanking a door or on the mantle? Just so perfect to add that little bit of something with some great live plants added in.

It's time for some, so I thought we could see some very clean simple Christmas decorating ideas. I like to keep it pretty simple around our house for Christmas. We always have 2 trees though, one for the kids one for the mom!
Happy decorating!

Some days you need the clean lines of something simple to make everything fall into place. I am totally in love with these paintings by
Amaryllis Truth and this table is screaming for placement in a clients home! I have to use them both somewhere soon or I will have to buy them for myself!

I love the simplicity of it all. The colors are soft, all white dishes, simple repetition, and clean lines. So relaxed.
This weekend is full of chores and work on the Master Bath. I should have everything ordered and going. With all of the final decisions made around here I should be able to give you a little update. I am excited but very ready for it to be finished!!
What are you up to this weekend?

What a great exterior detail the orange awnings seem to make. It is such a fun color combonation!

Good Monday Morning!
I trust you had a good weekend and a well celebrated Father's day.
We had a simi impromptu dinner here last night and I would say that it went fairly smoothly. I think that we should entertain more often. I am not sure that this space would put me at ease though!
It is very beautiful but the thought of all of that white scares me a little!
What about you do you entertain? Do you enjoy it?

I loved this space when I saw it on
My French Country Home... So simple and clean.. I just love the clean lines the soft combination of the colors and the way that those dark chairs stand out... fantabulous!!!

Always love the simplicity of shaker style doors and a farm house sink.
But the gray just does me in!
Love everything hardware, counter everything...
Happy St. Patty's day!
