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 country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, f A country contemporary farmhouse in Lincoln, MA, full of antiques, pattern, and natural texture. 🏡
A plaster chimney rises into the vaulted living room above a reclaimed-wood mantel. Lantern pendants and copper pots set the tone in the kitchen. The powder room goes all in on floral wallpaper and a gilt mirror. Grasscloth walls wrap a guest room with a built-in reading nook, and the bunk room is all sage beadboard and gingham. Old pieces and clean architecture work together, so the house feels collected, not decorated.
Which room are you moving into? 👇
Save this for your farmhouse inspo.

I’ve never worn a super bright red dress before. NI’ve never worn a super bright red dress before. Never mind one with the entire back out! ❤️
But something shifted for me over the last year. I let go of people, expectations, and ideas that no longer served me. And I made a decision. I’m not making myself smaller to make anyone else comfortable.
So when the fabulous @clairesulmers invited me to the first @fashionbombdaily Bomb Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I decided to show up a little differently!
Enter this fire red Jacquemus dress. 🔥
My cousin Cala and I had the BEST time. So much beautiful fashion, incredible emerging design talent, and amazing energy in one room. Congratulations to Claire and her entire team for bringing this fabulous event to LA! And kudos to @cadillac for supporting the show.
Who knew a dress could say so much without saying a word?
Here’s to being bold, daring, unapologetic, and still finding joy in every moment.
Wear the dress. Take up space. Live loud. We only get one life! ❤️

I’ve officially become a superfan of @keuramylangseth , a Paris-based brand creating such beautiful bags! I had the chance to try several pieces from the collection, and it’s honestly hard to pick a favorite.
Even better, I got to meet the designer, Amy, and make a new friend along the way. 🤎
Not sponsored, just genuinely loving the brand and sharing some beautiful finds with you!
Swipe through the collection and tell me, which bag is your favorite? 👇
