ROOM OF THE WEEK 10.7

In case you haven't noticed, I don't post much in way of kitchen inspiration on the blog. Maybe it's because I've yet to own my own home where I could install rich black cabinets, antique tile floors, gorgeous glowing lighting, and a rustic dining table...

Because if I did have a kitchen, I surely would have copied every single detail of this design by Kristen Buckingham by now. I'm swooning for all the aforementioned gorgeousness, but let's also note a few other things, shall we? Huge chopping block island. Cute little cabinet for cookbooks to the left of the refrigerator.  Antique painting hung above stove (I mean, of course there is). A perfect mix of metals in the hardware, appliances and copper pots. And, did I mention the lighting? Yes? Well, still... it's worth a second note. Because I die for that chandelier.

Talk about an excuse to throw some fabulous dinner parties...

  4. This kitchen got some flack a few months bag on the blog circuit, but I find it appealing and inviting, and just the sort of place I'd love to sit and coffee sip.

    Cheers, Alcira

    I love the "imperfection" of this kitchen---the non-matchy-matchiness and the way it looks lived in. That, to me, IS perfection, but I know that "lived in" and "not-matchy" causes some people to be uncomfortable. I LOVE this kitchen. Thanks for postingit!

  11. stripes-on-stripes, don't worry. i totally get it. it's a bit out of place and unnecessary... but i seriously can't help myself with how much i love them!

    alcira, i'd love to know what people were giving it flack for!! the only part that seems a little weird to me is the placement of the stove... but i'm completely willing to overlook that because it's so damn gorgeous.

    we will soon be renovating a big, gorgeous 100 yr old home and I love finding inspiration. this picture is gorgeous. We will be doing a rustic island out of an antique general store counter, but almost everything else is what we have planned! lovely.

    What a gorgeous space. I adore the juxtaposition of the murano chandelier and the rough farm table and the stainless steel. Then there's that gorgeous tile floor! Who does such great pattern on floors anymore? So happy to see this this morning.
