COUNTERTOPS ARE THE KEY TO THIS INVITING KITCHEN!

Kitchen with grey mosaic subway tile backsplash, white cabinets and drawers and grey zinc countertops

Editorial note: Title of this post has changed because someone wrote in telling me I had wrongly identified the countertops as soapstone…and they are actually zinc! Will confirm with architect…but until then…title changed…but not my love for the counters!

I like this kitchen. Love the counters the most. The rich grey velvet look of this durable surface is soft and inviting. I also think that the white carrara marble subway tile backsplash is fab.

Wood floors, high end appliance, a butter cream cabinet color and great dome shaped glass and polished metal pendant lights…are the touches that make this cooking and eating space just right.

    I’m inspired by viewing your blog to ask you a question here about paint color…do you mind?

    Tell me (or show me with your abounding photographic resources) what is going on with the color peach these days. I am moving into a new place…and I must deal with the color of it. It is a very pale peach. I’m old enough to remember peach from the ’80s, and I’m a little nauseous, honestly, thinking about it. Somewhere, someone must have revived this color and made it modern again, right?

    PS. May I link your blog to mine? I’m not famous or anything, just a housewife who loves interior design. 😀

    Oh…about the peach paint color. You’ve stumped me! I see a lot of design photos and have not come across a lot of peach. I’ll keep looking and if I find something nice looking that could be inspirational OR if I have any ideas, I’ll post it for you.

    In the meantime, any other readers have suggestions for Susannah and her soon to be pale peach house?

    If you can still get this message on an old post: Right now you will find alot of peachy/blush pink with orange accents in J.Crew, looks amazing. Warm Orange and plum pillows would look good with a neutral couch. House Beautful had a dining room with coral peachy walls and lots of white molding recently. Keep it modern by not putting wood or dark brown leather and KEEP AWAY FROM GREEN with it. (that was my bedroom in the 80’s. Also I am exstatic b/c I have that French Bistro shelf to the left of the stove…I can’t believe it. I have looked everywhere to see where it came from. I got it from an antique store but I know it’s not an antique, it has a made in China sticker on the bottom. If you ask about the counters in this Kitchen, could you also ask about the French Bistro Shelf. I will watch your blog. Thanks Tara

A beautiful table isn’t just about aesthetics. It’A beautiful table isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about how it makes people feel.
A thoughtfully styled tablescape can:
• Make guests feel instantly welcome.
• Encourage people to linger a little longer.
• Turn an ordinary meal into a memorable experience.
• Reflect your personal style without saying a word.
The best part? It doesn’t have to be elaborate. A few layers, fresh flowers, candlelight, or beautiful dinnerware can completely change the atmosphere. 💐
Because the most memorable gatherings aren’t always the fanciest. They’re the ones where everyone feels at home.
What’s one detail you always include when setting your table?

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
