Kitchen love

Your Home’s Story
Though it could err on the side of being a little sterile, nevertheless this kitchen makes me happy. It is so clean and the lines, oh the lines! My favorite feature: the huge corner windows.
Proper Planning

Calling my name

Antique Elegance
I don't know if it is the comfy bed or hanging lantern but something about this room is calling my name...loudly... ;)

Wreaths

Ett kök som lika gärna kunde finnas på en stor lantgård. Köksinredning i cremefärg från Carin & Carl. Matbord och stolar i rokoko respektive ­gustaviansk stil. Kransarna i hemmet, av olivkvistar och mjuk en, är bundna av ­floristen Camilla Ek.
Wreaths in the window...I have always loved this look. It seems timeless and is so
Sängkammaren har ett ljuvligt burspråk där en liten ärvd soffa pryder sin plats. Gardinerna i råsiden från ­Curtainhouse Roy Judd faller tungt vid fönstret.

Vardagsrummet rymmer såväl soffgrupp som arbetsbord och öppen spis. De mjuka sofforna kommer från Ire samt Svensk tenn. Karm­fåtöljer i nyrokoko, kvadratiskt soffbord i glas från Italien och bakom syns Josef Franks soffbord, från Svenskt tenn. Kristallkronan är  nytillverkad, från Carin & Carl, numera Garbo, och de ljusa, tungt fallande siden­gardinerna från Curtainhouse Roy Judd.very elegant...

A few finds

I must admit, I first saw these photos over at A Life's Design and drooled, so I looked them up myself. This blog has always been a place to store beautiful and elegant things that I stumble onto so I had to document them!


Great farmhouse sink and gorgeous window

Glass cabinets are gorgeous...if you have pretty things to display of course!

Oh the garden parties you could have here...

Herb garden

Kitchen garden with iron urn as focal point.
I love this little garden nook. A little walkway to stroll along in the evenings, perhaps? Yes, please.

Hidden retreat
Though made of wood, this chair beckons for a good curl-up-and-relax

The Big Apple

Visited NYC a couple weekends ago. Stayed in Park Place at a wonderful hotel and enjoyed being a lazy tourist (i.e. no plans, no schedule).


Saw this gem of a B'way play:

and visited Apple within the Big Apple:
A very fun excursion!

Espying Elegance

I went for a walk the other day. Here are some of the things I saw, including amazing homes. The detail is incredible. I will have to take more pictures of the homes nearby. They are pant-worthy.


Multi-paned windows, a small round window...
This little alcove is precious. And the stone-work...

A friend.
The park across from my street.

A cute address post covered in flowers.

All of these homes are from either the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries and capture my heart.
Can you believe how well-kept these homes are? It makes me so happy to see old architecture kept in all its glory. Makes me want to knock on the door and hug the owners!

Just because I love before and afters...

This was a patch of landscape I worked on a couple months ago at my church just because it was driving me crazy! So I put on some gardening gloves and went at it.

Espying Elegance

So this lovely home is a real-life home for sale in New Jersey. Not a magazine house or show home it is simply someone's home that they are trying to sell. I love their style and the design of the home. I would buy it!







Gawked at here.
