TALE OF A TWO TONED KITCHEN

Farmhouse style kitchen with grey and white color blocked walls, pine wood floors, rattan furniture and white pendant lights
A color blocked kitchen in gray and white! (above)
Oooohhh...I like this modern farm style open floor plan kitchen, den, dining room from Dan Scotti Design.  Two toned walls and cabinets make a huge design statement.  I love the high ceilings, charcoal gray wood paneling and the clerestory windows.  So much light but effectively incorporates a rich dark color.

So many styles mixed in one space but they work...the farmhouse style feeling kitchen with its gray (maybe soapstone counters), the rustic country knotty pine wide plank wood floors, the Palm Beach like rattan furniture in the den and then the mid century dining table and Hans Wegner chairs in the dining room.  Doesn't feel like all  of those styles should work together but they do.

Nice, bright, airy, convivial space.  Perfect for cooking big meals and inviting lots of people over.

So what do you think of this two toned kitchen?  Like or dislike?  What might you add to it or take away.

I would leave it as is...although I might change out the round pendant lights...not sure but I might.

Happy Wednesday.

P.S.  Soooo many of you have asked about the turquoise painting in my living room featured on Monday's post.  I went to the artist and will reveal who it is by tomorrow and more of his latest work!  Please stand by.

WEEKEND PHOTO!

Farmhouse sink with Carrara marble backsplash and a small shelf to holding potted plants and a bouquet of flowers in a vase

A place dedicated to cutting flowers and potting small plants.  That is one area on the list of spaces to add to my dream house.  A little nook where I could bring flowers in from my garden, cut them neatly and arrange them beautifully.  A farmhouse sink that is wide and deep, some shelving above and a nice high faucet.  That sounds about right.

I like the stone sink above with its Carrara marble backsplash. This would be so lovely. More on the romantic country side than my normal design style but a beautiful bunch of flowers would bring out the romantic country point of view in anyone! Getting me thinking...I've just got to get my garden ready for spring...no sink yet but I must have pretty flowers outside!

Where do you cut flowers in your house?  I currently use my kitchen sink.  Where do you like to arrange yours?  Either of these two areas work for you?

Happy Saturday!

SEE THIS HOUSE: WEEKEND COUNTRY CHIC!

Living room in a farmhouse with an ticking stripe armchair, throw, wood floor and wooden cabinet

I really like this Hudson Valley farmhouse designed by Sisse Jonassen of SJ Interior Design and photographed so wonderfully by Emily Gilbert.

I need a weekend house...some place to get away during the fall and winter...to cozy up and do weekend things. Instead, I am stuck in my tiny tiny tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills this weekend dealing with plumbing problems and sliding hillside issues...oy va voy...oh did I mention the fence that is in desperate need of repair?

I need a weekend getaway place...a place with no errands, no to do lists, just me, friends, several magazines and a good book (yes I said a book), with the only thing on the list is planning fun lunches and dinners with friends/family...oh my dog Mr. Boo could come too...

Living room in a farmhouse with exposed beam ceiling, a fireplace with a wood mantel, wood floor, a long white sofa, a reclaimed wood coffee table and two modern burnt orange armchairs

Dining room in a farmhouse with wood floor, reclaimed wood table, modern white seats, exposed beam ceiling and white pendant light

What do you think of this farmhouse? I really like the exposed beams and love the mix of traditional and modern in the decor. Nicely done.

Where do you go to get away on the weekends?

Happy Friday!

A LAKE HOUSE KITCHEN!

Eat in Kitchen with banquette seating with lime green cushions, a long wood table, metal chairs, pendant lights, paitned wood floor, and white casement windows

Love this lake house eat-in kitchen designed by renowned New York architect Gil Schafer.

The kitchen is in a lake side home built in 1919. The home was clearly renovated respecting the history and charm but updated adding modern conveniences and stylish detailing.

I am a little obsessed with built in banquette seating so I'm loving the wrap around built in window bench that doubles as breakfast nook seating.  And the windows...hello!  The corner of  paned windows is magnificent...letting light and cheer stream into this sweet cooking and eating space.  I also am adoring the shiny painted wood floor (looks like a light blue or grey color).

Kitchen with white beadboard cabinet drawers, a stainless farmhouse sink, lime green upper cabinet interiors and a striped rug
The kitchen has a modern country feel with bead board cabinet doors, a stainless farmhouse sink and upper cabinet interiors getting a lovely dose of lime green color! (above)
What do you think of this lake house eat-in?  Would you want to eat in here?  What might you take...what might you leave?  Please tell.

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  1) I need a lake house;  2) wearing a cute purple Tory Burch dress to work today...have drinks tonight; 3)  Now that Lent is over and I can go back to eating bread...need to show some restraint...difficult; 4) was up until 2:30a dealing with a potential Nbaynadamas client abroad; 5) caffeine essential this morning; 6) back to purple dress, was getting it fitted and the tailor kept looking at my hips and shaking his head...I think he thinks dress is too tight or that I need bigger...dress is size 4...I think it fits just right but we'll see...now I think everyone is looking at hips and shaking head thanks to tailor...lady tailor though thought dress was just right; 7) Juan, my handy guy, rescued my huge market umbrella from my roof on Tuesday...now I need new market umbrella as this one keeps flying out of stand, see Nbaynadamas Twitter feed for pictures of flying market umbrella under Dilemma of the Day; 8) I could go on and on but I will let you get back to your day!  Have a good one dear readers!
