CITY KITCHEN CONFIDENCE

Kitchen in a West Village apartment with subway with dark grout walls, grey cabinets, French doors and large kitchen island

The kitchen in a West Village apartment with garden views.  A city apartment kitchen with a sophisticated country look.  Subway tile with dark grout line the walls, dark charcoal gray cabinets and gray trim around the large french doors, brass accents adding a bit of gleam and white marble counters.  Very nice.  A place to cook, dine, and entertain.  Lately am obsessed with having a nice size kitchen with an island.  Can imagine some day my big kitchen with an island being the focal point of my home...I would cook (yes mom I would cook), work on COCOCOZY (via laptop), drink lots of Earl Gray tea, entertain my friends and family, and some days just take some time to sit quietly and dream.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA INSPIRED WEEKEND HOME - FASHION FORWARD

She goes by the nom de plume of Oscar PR Girl.   Her real name is Erika Bearman and she is a real life publicity executive for fashion power house Oscar de la Renta.  Bearman has legions of followers on her Twitter page where she tweets all things Oscar and all things from the world of fashion.

So leave it to a fashionista to have uber New York interior designer Miles Redd make a hugely fashionable statement in her weekend home featured in Elle Decor.

What do you think of this high style decor? Anything here that you would want in your home? I would love to try a high gloss painted floor!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. TE is in New York...he is accepting an award for his work...I am very proud of him. All of my friends and family are probably wondering why I am sending them all of the details about TE's work award...well I can't help it! I am very happy for him.

P.P.S. Feel very behind on a lot of things...need to catch up...I'm sure this is a universal feeling...right? So much to do...so little time!

TILE FILE: GOOD KITCHEN DESIGN - READING BETWEEN THE DARK GROUT LINES!

Eat in kitchen with white subway tile walls and backsplashes with dark grout, knotty wood floor, grey cabinets and drawers, an island with a marble counter top and two pendant lights

Another kitchen to analyze and dissect. I like this country house kitchen for some reason too...again...not my typical white kitchen with clean lines...this one in fact has many lines...dark grout used on the subway tiled walls and backsplashes.

I like. Something sort of rustic about it all.

I would use this technique in the kitchen of my second country house...see yesterday's post re: my first non-existent country house.

Eat in kitchen with subway tile backsplash and walls with dark grout, long wood table, reclaimed wood seats with wicker backs and seats, a chandelier, floating shelves, pendent lights and a large clock

What do you think about dark grout lines and this kitchen? Do tell!

Happy Wednesday!
