Light, bright & lovely kitchen

I stumbled across this lovely kitchen over at Skona Hem and immediately was drawn to the light, bright and lovely white interior. I admit I have a thing for white floorboards, and these, combined with the fabulous pendant light and bright pops of (the chairs, Nespresso machine and artwork) make for an incredible space - don't you think?


See more of this gorgeous apartment here.


Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!

Apartment 3304 {the kitchen}

Hello lovelies, thank you for your well wishes yesterday, I'm feeling so much better today! 
I thought I would share with you a few inspirations for the kitchen (the first room to tackle) in the apartment that I'm helping to decorate.

The prerequisites are:

* White timber cabinets (hardware colour still tbc)

* Carrera marble counter tops

* Carrera marble splashback

* Chandelier style lighting 

* An island bench (the apartment is open plan with the kitchen extending to the living area), able to accommodate bar stools

* A standalone stove and oven
* Polished floorboards

These are a couple of lighting styles that I have found at Matt Blatt, but I don't think they're quite right, so still on the hunt. Any suggestions are welcome!

Everything is still very much a work in progress, but wanted to share these inspiration so far.

Hope your having a fabulous day,

Dream Kitchen

It was love at first sight when I saw this kitchen. 

The white cabinetry, the dark-stained polished floors, the warm grey walls complemented by coral coloured fabric accents, the marble counter tops...


... All absolutely incredible, don't you think?

Kitchens with Blackboards & Shopbop Winner

Hello lovelies, how was your weekend? My dear friend had a little baby boy on the weekend and I was so thrilled to have met little William Cooper today. Still feeling all gooey from holding the little man, he is so completely adorable and so teeny!

Meanwhile...I spied these lovely kitchens with blackboards today and immediately and thought how wonderfully practical they were but also how fabulous they look! 

A big congratulations to Eva from Eva The Beaver, a former Sydney-sider who now calls New York home. I hope you have fun enjoying your Shopbop splurge!

Monday Kitchen Love

Ah Monday, you have arrived far too quickly for my liking.

The weekend flew by seeing our family for Father's Day and taking Charlie on long walks to the park; a blissful weekend really.

To kick of the week I thought I would share this delightful kitchen. I love that it is not 'overdone' but at the same time looks incredibly fresh and stylish, perhaps it is all the white? 

Hope your week is off to a brilliant start!

Kitchen Renovation {Drab to Fab}

Welcome to a brand new week my dears! I love a good before and after and the one I have to share today is a stunning transformation. 

Below is the 'before' picture - a drab, brown and very dated kitchen. Admittedly it does look like this shot is taken at night which is why it's so dark, but you can tell its in desperate need of a revamp...

{Before}

{After}

Fabulous, yes? Such an amazing transformation its hard to believe it's the same kitchen. What makes this renovation so fab is how light and bright it now is, which has made the space look a lot larger. The small details including the light fitting and the faucet add to the overall 'modern with a dash of country' charm.

As for the colour combination, I am loving the turquoise and white, with a hint of red.
