ROOM OF THE WEEK 5.2

Oh  heavens, what do we have here? A home so worthy of a Room of the Week post, I couldn't wait another day to share!

At first glance - I'm not going to lie - I thought this was simply a dining room. But no no no - 'tis a kitchen my loves. A whitewashed, red-ticking adorned kitchen. With a bar so stunning I nearly missed the fact that it's flanked by not one, but two refrigerators. (Pray tell, where do they actually prep and cook everything? There must be a stove hidden around here somewhere.)

But let's also take a look at the rooms leading into the dining area, shall we? A wall of windows, a wall of mirror, and more layers of red and white. I don't know if it's purposeful, but I will say that the black accents in these spaces also help balance the looming flatscreens nicely.

Being the owner of a rather narrow apartment, I have to say I'm partial to this layout. Sometimes you have to go with the obvious, but this is just creative enough with the creation of separate living spaces here. Don't you love how you can look down the room and see that striped bar looking back at you all the way at the end? The common color theme, drapery and loads of white really keep it all flowing.

What do you think? I'm ready to move right in.
