My Dream Kitchen

A friend is remodeling his kitchen and it got me thinking, if I ever own a house what would my kitchen look like?  First, it would have to be spacious with plenty of pantry space.  I'm not so sure about the color, I don't know if I would do a clean white, warm orange or a flannel gray color.  Or even have some wallpaper.  There is an episode from Rosemary and Thyme (a British detective show) where someone's kitchen had this beautiful oversized-flower wallpaper.  Oh, the decisions one has to make....

Here is the episode. If you fast forward 9 minutes, 51 seconds, you'll see the kitchen.  Love that paper!



First, the sink. I love this extra large one but....
Or 

Or the Farmhouse sink?


Then there is the floor....

Brick floor, traditional Aga?



See above photo for the stone floor.

Or Hard Wood

Of course, one must have cabinets~


Finding the perfect table would be fun~


This table and the stone floor are good choices as well as the chalk board walls and cabinets. Oh and the chairs :)



The only thing that's definite is the fridge~



I think that about sums it up. Now, I just need to find a house with a 30'x 30' kitchen to fit everything. That shouldn't be hard, right?

Seeing Red

My Mum's favorite color has always been red and for as long as I can remember it's been in the home. Red is her passion and she has always followed her heart when it comes to decorating. Against white wainscoting and bits of ink black furniture, the red really pops. Her love of vintage collectibles are found throughout the house. Enjoy!

It's the Little Things That Count

A British family's home with global influence. 

 The pinch pots which hold different types of sea salt where made by their daughters.

 Pots from Sri Lanka have traveled with them.

 The family pets.

 A gift from a mutual friend.
 Batik pictures hang on the walls.
 This beautiful elephant adorns the fireplace.



 Rugs from Sri Lanka and Morocco. 



The key to a happy home... love!
