KITCHEN WEEK: EATING IN A MODERN KITCHEN

Breakfast nook with red leather corner banquette seating, a table with a chrome tulip inspired base with a square stone top and dark wood floor

A red leather corner booth in a kitchen? This bright kitchen bench seating works…right? Very modern but also has 50’s diner feel to it too. Hmmm…I like this!

Retro kitchen with blue glass backsplash, white stone countertops, white recessed panel cabinetry and stainless steel appliances
Kitchen features blue glass backsplash made of large wall tiles or single sheets of glass, white stone/quartz countertops, white recessed panel cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A great modern take on a retro look. (above)

    I love this… only marine grade vinyl might be more in keeping with my budget (and my destructive dog and children!)

    Love the second photo – it’s refreshing to see this beautiful blue splash of color in a kitchen, rather than typical neutral tones.

    I’m loving the the white screen dividing the living room from the kitchen in that first photo…such a great blend of 50’s and 2009.

    Love the whole look, and I am in total agreement with the blue backsplash — really cheerful and yet serene at the same time. Regarding the red leather banquet, what happens when you get grease (salad dressing, olive oil, a slice of bacon!) on it?… is there a good remedy for that?

    Fantastic 3-tiered light fixture in the background. The sky blue back-splash is wonderful.

    I’m in love with the kitchen table with the tulip base, anyone know where it’s from?

A Haussmannian shell. A sculpture gallery inside i A Haussmannian shell. A sculpture gallery inside it.
Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍
Save this for your next renovation moodboard.

A balcony this beautiful deserves a tour. 🤍 A litA balcony this beautiful deserves a tour. 🤍
A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.
Save this for your next lighting inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨
