 I'm thrilled to be sharing my newly styled kitchen with you today.

We are coming up on 3 years living in our home and sadly I just recently decided to bite the bullet and give this kitchen some love.  I've been dreaming of a white kitchen, but since it's a ways away before that dream becomes a reality I decided to do some small fixes to make this a kitchen that I can love.

BEFORE:
You can see how much a little bit went a long way in this space.  The valance and new light fixture MAKE THE SPACE in my opinion.  Adding some color and fresh flowers add so much to make this monochramtic room pop.

I've always loved the look of pendant lighting in kitchens.  Since my ceilings over my penisula aren't wired for them yet I did the next best thing and had the can light swapped out for this beauty from PROGRESS LIGHTING.  The design and bubbled glass make me happy every time I look at it and adds a little bit of class to this space.  It's beautiful quality, and I'm actually putting this same fixture in a client's kitchen!  She loved it that much after seeing it in my space.

You can purchase it HERE for a great price!

 The valance I made with some fabric, foam board, quilt batting, a staple gun and some velcro strips.  It cost me less than $20 to complete this project!  You can look on pinterest for some great tutorials.

There you have it, just adding a little bit of color and life into this kitchen makes me love it so much more.  Grantid, I'm still dreaming of a white kitchen someday, these updates are making the wait very enjoyable. :)

Be sure to check out Progress Lighting for some beautiful lighting options!  I have several on my list!!!

I cannot believe how fast this month has gone by!?!?  The end of summer fun and back to school has kept me preoccupied more than I realized it would!  I now officially have a kindergartner and it has been so fun doing the mom roll this week.  But, I realized I had quite the blogging hiatus and now its time to get back in gear!  
Today I wanted to rave about the new rug that I ordered from a favorite company of mine, Safavieh.  I seem to always use at least one of their items in a design of mine and I have realized almost all the rugs I order end up being from them.  I was on the hunt for quite some time for a round rug to go under my kitchen table.  I knew it had to have some sort of a mix of color to it so that it'd be easier to hide any spills.  I found Safavieh's awesome 'Dip Dyed' Rug line and fell in LOVE.  So many beautiful options.  The movement of the pattern had me at hello.  I decided on this trellis pattern one and when I unrolled it I kid you not, I gasped in excitement.  It is BEAUTIFUL in person.  I didn't edit these pictures to keep the integrity of the rug.

 I wanted to show the before picture of the space.  You can see it wasn't bad, but after putting the rug down it grounds the space and makes this tiny kitchen nook seem larger and make sense.  I chose a round rug to play off of my round table and it fits perfectly in the bay.  If you are looking for a round rug just google 'Safavieh 7' round rug' and you'll get several pattern options.

 I love the quality, it is a wool blend.  The colors are gorgeous and after I scotch guarded it, it seems to be durable.  I was able to just wipe up a few spills already (thanks to my cute kiddos)  Oh, and it has become my dog's new favorite place to sleep.  So, you know its comfortable.

Follow Friday: Meet The Ninow's

I had to give a little shout out and a BIG thank you to this adorable and sweet couple, Ryan and Aubree Ninow.

I met this darling couple over a year ago through my Brother and Sister in law.  They were in their wedding party and it was such a good time getting to know Aubree.  She is such a fantastic hostess and party planner, the shower she threw was perfection at its best.  I totally appreciated every tiny detail, and I loved seeing what a genuine person and friend she has been to my Sister in Law!

They recently started a blog and Youtube channel and I couldn't help but subscribe! They are sharing everything from their travels from 24 countries around the world and Healthy food recipes that are easy to make. Aubree shares her tips and tricks on beauty and weekly videos about their lives. Ryan loves to capture special moments through a lens, and loves to edit and put together videos for people to enjoy! They are one of the cutest couples I've met and I love how they display their love and friendship so naturally on the camera.  The best part is knowing that this is them, they are real... totally authentic. They are seriously one to follow!

I recently had their help on a project in the works and Ryan did some videography work for me.  They were a BLAST to work with and made my camera-shy self feel so comfortable and at ease.  He did a fabulous job on the project, I'm excited to share it with you all soon!

A Little Paint...

... Sure Goes A Long Way!
 I had the opportunity to revisit one of my old clients, Mrs. G, and help her pick out her paint color for her house.  See This Post for the before's.  That is one good thing about design... You can do little by little to save up for what you want.  I LOVE the soothing taupe green we picked out, especially against the camel colored sofa's and the black and white accents.  It seems like the perfect compliment for the color scheme.  She loves the outcome too, which in my book is all that matters!



I also suggested that we paint her "cube" closet the same taupe color, and we love how it just pops now!  Before it just disappeared into the white wall.  It's so crazy what a little bit of paint can do!
I also painted her pantry door for her.  We went with a little more intense sagey green color for it, and we are so glad that we did.  Since she likes having her walls white in her kitchen it gives the perfect amount of color in the room...  

Kitchen (Designed)

Before and Afters

This kitchen was quite the project.  I was able to refinish the cabinets my self, install the cabinet hardware and paint the walls.  I love the pops of white, greys and reds to make this kitchen very updated and current.
