Show Us Where You Live Friday: Kitchen Edition

Kelly started a "Show Us Where You Live Friday" blog. I am thrilled about it! I love seeing other peoples homes for interior design inspiration and decorating ideas (I am a "model home junkie"). There is one big show-stopper.... I do not have a single decorative bone in my body... I am talking zero, zilch, big goose-egg LACK of creativity. There are many styles that I like and sometimes try... The end result is an incomplete, mishmash of design ideas that is unsettling at times. If I ever have extra money to throw away, I will hire an interior designer to do my house top to bottom. My favorite styles are neoclassical, art deco, French country, Mediterranean, the list goes on... We currently live in a "tract" home that backs up to a golf course. I love the great view, but I dream of building a bright, open and airy custom home one day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It will be the complete opposite to the rich, warm colours that adorn my home in the beautiful, cold Northeast.

Kitchen Closet/Pantry....
Fish decor to appease my husband's taste... (I like these towel hooks too... they even match my Kitchen and Denby tableware colours!)


Denby Fire / Chilli casual tableware ... I love the warm colours and retro design.

Mikasa China... used approx. 4x per year...



The deck dining area that we will soon be enjoying...
I'm looking forward to the warmth of summer, outdoor dining and my husband grilling!


Thank you to Kelly for a great idea! Click here to go back to the Kitchen Tour.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

YAY - I'm SO glad to finally see these two paint colors together. I've been wanting to paint my kitchen and living room areas the same two colors as you have but have been a little unsure...unsure no more!!
Love it :)

First I must say your girls are darling. They are just stinkin cute. And your kitchen is lovely. That pantry is amazing and your use of color is great.

Thank you for the sweet comment on my living room. The color is Restoration Hardware "Silver Sage." It's very calming french blue/green. I think it would be perfect for a bedroom.
