BOUTIQUE WINDOWS | vignettes

a shop's window display can draw you in...or just make you stand in front of it daydreaming.

Here are some of my favorite shop vignettes and window displays...would love to be out exploring and finding new shops and maybe having a coffee in the process....

DESIGN SPOTLIGHT | Sims Hilditch

Having a bit of a designer crush right now.... Emma Sims Hilditch is brilliant.

Mixing traditional style with completely modern palette is her specialty and its done to

perfection in the Manor home.

What I'm loving about this room is, of course, the soft palette, 

and the bleached wood finish on the dresser and side tables.

KITCHEN DESIGN | 2015 renovation ideas

A new year ....new designs to gather inspiration from.

If you're torn between light and dark cabinets like I am hopefully

some of these images will help in the decision process.

What's great about this kitchen is the matte finish of the dark cabinets with the glossiness

of the white countertops, tiles behind the stove and the stainless hood.

The trey ceiling is finished in gloss white as well as just makes this room so glam.

An important thing to note about the 'shine' of this room is that it wouldnt/couldnt happen without

great lighting... take note of recessed halogens in the ceiling and those gorgeous fixtures over

the island... no kitchen works without thoughtfully planned lighting.

DESIGNER CRUSH | Foley + Cox

I'm crushing on the serene palette's of cream, white, black + grey

used by the designers of Foley and Cox

BLACK + WHITE | in chalk or lacquer finishes

It's no secret...I adore chalk paint ....it's such an easy medium to work with and renders a

gorgeous feel as well as look.  Recently I've been infatuated with grey and now am leaning 

back to an old standard ...black.  I LOVE these lacquer pieces just as much as the chalk.
