BLACK WHITE RED COUTURE - COLOR WATCH

black white kitchen subway tile backsplash island pendant light checkered floor

Love this black and white with a dash of red as a color scheme.  Makes a bold statement.  Love this glossy modern but classic kitchen from uber interior designer Steven Gambrel.  So stunning.

Fashionable interior design...mirrored on the runways for fall 2013.   Some high style catwalk finds too!

THIS OR THAT: TWO SMALL KITCHENS MAKE BIG DESIGN STATEMENTS!

kitchen with dark wood cabinets, island with marble counter top, wood floors, pendant lights and a white black splash with black diamonds on it.

Two well designed small kitchens from one interior designer. Here I bring you two kitchens from talented Australian designer Greg Natale. Both kitchens are making bold design statements in relatively small footprints.

Would like to know which of these kitchens you prefer in today's THIS OR THAT!

***

KITCHEN 1 (below) - A moody open kitchen with dark cabinets with diamond shaped molding details, light rustic looking floors, a very bold trellis pattern black and white backsplash and glossy black counters.

KITCHEN 2 (below) - A tiny galley kitchen with avocado green cabinets. This kitchen features a marble slab backsplash and marble checkered tile floors.

So which of these do you prefer - Kitchen 1 or Kitchen 2?  If you were going be daring in your own kitchen design and you had to pick one of these two, which of these kitchens would you chose? Is there one you like more? Do tell...would love to hear what you have to say on this one.  I am on the fence.  I would most likely go with a white kitchen but can certainly appreciate the cool eclectic design in these.  Weigh in please!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Had a great talk with colleague and friend Kimberly yesterday. She is a pro in "the business" and she gave me some great advice. She also turned me onto a cool company that makes bracelets primarily for men but they are great for girls too! Follow along on COCOCOZY Pinterest to see the latest that I'm loving from this company and more. Thank you Kimberly!

P.P.S. Also on COCOCOZY Pinterest, I pinned a gorgeous wedding from my archives last night. A friend of mine had planned the wedding years ago...it is a rustic chic event that took place in the hills of Los Angeles...complete with bales of hay as seating!

THIS OR THAT?: CHECKING IN ON TWO FOYER FLOORS!

Foyer with black and white checkered floor, dentil moulding, a crystal pendant light, and a butterfly painting

Starting off a Monday with a few entryways or foyers to decide between. My grand entrance to the week.

Am focused on the flooring here in these two spaces...checkered floors in entryways or foyers a definite must love!

I found this first photo and loved the micro check tiled entry...a black and white tile mosaic laid on the diagonal...a miniature version of a classic used in so many grand foyers. The size and scale of the tile design is appropriate for this entry into what seems to be a normal house. I think the butterfly print on the wall in this room is quite funny and cute too.

Then there is this second entry below, with grey and white marble tiles set in a checkered pattern and laid on the diagonal.  This larger check floor is more traditional and more indicative of a very grand entrance.  The iron and glass doors seem to mysteriously lead to rooms in what could be a cavernous home. And then there is that formal (but maybe a little too small) entry table greeting guests in a manner fitting of a fine home.  I love grand entrances.

So I ask you today darling readers which foyer flooring do you like better...THIS OR THAT?

Foyer with checkered grey and off white marble floor, iron galss doors, crystal chandelier and a round table

All that being said...my favorite is the first photo?  Which is yours?  If you had room for a nice checkered floor, would you go large or small? Or not at all (a rhyme!)?  Do tell.

Happy Monday!
