This room................

Can't stop looking at this room...............
that table is the table of my dreams....
Those windows seem to sing to me.... almost feel like Rivendel {there's my geeky-self again}
That brick wall and all the green outside.....
And the floors. Oh the floors..................

Yup. Obsessed.

Seriously amazing small kitchens

After a lovely relaxing weekend............. {here I am in the office wishing I could go back to that lounge chair} what's with mondays right?

Anyway, now is the turn of some tiny kitchens, lets face it. Most of us actually have small kitchens, especially if you live in a big city in an apartment.

And if you're renting,  things complicate even more... Rental decorating can seem like mission impossible but it's actually not, these small places are fabulous, not a drop of bad style. Ch-ch-check 'em.

1.- Big City apartment - take advantage of light/views and bright whites to make it seem bigger. Oh, and keep it simple for Christ's sake! no space for clutter and stuff.

2.- Cute & functional country style. I love small islands like that, that you can move around if you need more space, they are so helpful and provide a ton of extra much needed counter space.

3.- Use every square inch!! don't be afraid to use all the space you've got. ALL of it. See here, they even have extra chairs folded and hung by the fridge!!! Light wood is a YES in small spaces.

4.- Use interesting textures and good lighting and no-one will notice the lack of space. Glossy subway tiles, exposed brick, deep rich wood and leather will always translate into a sophisticated space. {love the shelves}

5.- Minimal Dream.... many of us love simplicity, after all, they say simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication... Storage solutions in this tiny space are so genius, they provide all the counter space you will need to cook a serious meal ;)

I loved number 3 and 5. What bout you?

Yellow infused

Found this today and wanted to run and buy yellow paint. Delicious yellow touches in an industrial kitchen, is like sunshine! don´t you LOVE!???

Happy Weekend beauties!

3 Noteworthy Spaces

Mondays are tough, we all know that. Some amazing room porn is definitely what we all need on a monday to brighten our spirits. Riiiight? Check this out.

First of all, a master piece brought to you by Feldman Architecture {photo via Desire to Inspire} and I am like, FLOORED. Is there a more gorgeous kitchen out there? God, there are so many drool-worthy elements here it's not funny. Gotta love that loooong island, I am sure those who cook appreciate it. But there is also the natural light, the stone backsplash, the un-even shelves and the glorious salvaged wood at the front of the counter.

Then, we have this beauty... OH swoon! I am always crazy about a good gallery wall and some mean shades of gray! LOVE how this room is not femenine at all. I could live here no problemo.

And now, a gorgeous room that reminds me of the English countryside. Got one word: DIVINE!

PS. I DIE for that Blanket!!!!!

Enjoy your evening loves!

Kitchen Perfection, no kidding

I am SO CRAZY about a wall to write on, I painted one small wall in my house like this and my son and I play all the time!

In my eyes: PERFECTION

The whole bistro vibe of this place is to die.

OH and I honestly need this kitchen island, I do!!! MANANA.

Before and After: Kitchen

Don't you just LOVE before & after's?? Check this out:

Before: Totally BLAH.

After: Oh, can this kitchen be MINE???

I cannot get over the delicious shade of grey and the absolutely brilliant black and whites, it's grown up and chic... This is an impressive transformation considering the homeowners did it all themselves and they did it in ONE month! Yup.

Well, obviously chalkboard paint delivers the touch of creativity. Plus, I love the stainless steel that makes it all look so modern and new... hanging pots is so cool ;) 



Do you love it???

Random rooms to DIE for

I carefully collect images to show on this feature and each image has got to have that WOW factor I crave so much. Something that gets me totally obsessed and enamored.

Sure hope it has the same efect on you lovelies.

This mirror... swoon.

Gorgeous white frames vignette on either side!!! genius.

Stainless steel heaven

Olive walls + books + vintage items = FABULOUSNESS everytime.

a darling display of treasures. To D.I.E.

Café curtains, tall ceilings, natural light, neutrals................. MAJOR crush on this room.

I am a huge fan of using black as an accent color and here's a perfect way: In a WHITE, bright kitchen. Would you please look at the chairs? insane.

See? There's method in my randomness.

Wallpapered wonder!

I am a HUGE fan of wallpaper... {I am actually a big fan of mixing hard with soft, old with new, vintage with modern... and wallpaper is a great way to do it!!!}

I was checkin' out Jenny's wonderful blog, My little Green Notebook and found these totally awesome kitchens that use wallpaper in the most fabulous way. Let's see which one you like the most :)

I say....

Be chic!

Express yourself...

Be neat, be bold!

FIRST one is my fave :)

un-freakin' believable right??!

yay or nay?

Hello darling readers!

Look at this... is it not fabulous? I wish I had the courage to go black!... somehow I find it difficult to pull in a kitchen, not sure I could do it right.

However, I might try BLACK in my bedroom this new year... not so hesitant there!

Fabulousness Times 4.... ♥ Small Spaces

I am baaaaaaaaaaaaack you guys!!! .... it's been so crazy busy here lately, I'd bet you guys figured as much. How are things with you??? do tell!

Here's some Fabulousness Times Four. A feature I enjoy much as it is short but extra sweet, and this time I found the most amazing small spaces with so much style, I can't pick a favorite.

Like this dining room by the window with cleverly placed elements that make it so cozy and inviting..

Or this fabulous wallpapered foyer that has my heart singing...
{in my so very humble opinion, that black piece is to DIE FOR!}

Large furniture and pattern to make a room seem biger...♥genious!

Ok, it's decided, I want my kitchen to go back to white...
or maybe some eggshell or something {can't decide}
Anyway, this little kitchen is the BEST!!!
