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

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.

TWO FACED ROOM

double glass french interior doors den living room charcoal gray wall apartment home decor

Cute modern den with mid century touches...charcoal gray wall on one side and white painted walls with windows on the other.  One side is moody (in a good way) and warm, the other is bright and cheerful.

One room...two faces...didn't know rooms could change moods so easily!

Face #1 - Charcoal gray wall makes a the den feel quite cozy! (above)

Face #2 - White walls and curtainless windows make the other side of this room feel bright and light. (above)

Do you think this two toned look works in this apartment decor? Like or dislike?

Happy Friday!

TREND ALERT: TWO TONED SOFAS!

I'm liking this trend...two toned sofas.

Take a white sofa and make the seat cushion (perhaps the back cushion too) just a tinge darker in a neutral tone. It is almost color blocking on sofas using the cushions!

I like this look.

What do you think of this trend of two toned sofas...do you like or dislike? Is this a trend you can see incorporating into your own home?

Happy Friday!

THIS OR THAT: SKINNY KITCHENS!

Kitchen with jet black lower cabinets, marble countertops, floating shelves instead of upper cabinets and pendant lights

I wonder if what holds true in fashion holds true for kitchens?  I wonder... (I know...most of you who read regularly are like...here she goes again...but this is coy and mysterious month...so I'm not wondering out loud too much...)

For example, in fashion, if you should happen to have a larger bottom than top (not necessarily saying that is the case with moi, I'm just speaking hypothetically...sort of...kind of...), wearing darker colors on the bottom (pants, skirts) makes one look skinnier on that part of the body.

Do kitchens look less fat with dark lower cabinets? Do kitchens ever say "does my bottom half look big today?" Hmmm...food for thought...?  (These are the times my mother wonders I'm sure..."Why did I pay thousands of dollars for Coco's education?  What happened here?  Why is she pretending a kitchen can speak or cares about what it looks like on the bottom?  What went wrong here? Why can't she pose some truly thoughtful important questions.?"  Sorry mom...LOL)

In all seriousness, or in semi seriousness, I like a two toned kitchen. Dark lower cabinets and light or no upper cabinets. Makes even the most traditional kitchens look a little more modern I think.

So in today's THIS OR THAT I ask, which of these kitchens looks best?

So do you like this kitchen look dear readers - dark bottom/light top?  If so, which do you like best?  If not, which do you dislike least?  This one, that one, that one or that?  I l like the first the best...love the high gloss almost black lacquer lower cabinets!  Which is your favorite?

Happy Friday!

P.S. It is Oscar weekend! Are you planning on watching the Academy Awards? I'm not necessarily planning to watch and I live in L.A.!  We'll see...peer pressure might get to me on this one.
