WELL DESIGNED KITCHEN – TOP 5 MUST HAVES

August 8, 2014
  • Share
Traditional bright kitchen

Found this lovely traditional kitchen in a New York Times article about a townhouse on Charlton Street in Greenwich Village in New York City.  Love the fact this kitchen is light and bright despite the fact it is on the ground floor of a city multilevel home.  I imagine it is quite nice to be able to fling open the kitchen doors in the middle of the city and see a lovely garden.  A garden kitchen delight I think.

A place to cook, dine, entertain and enjoy a garden view.

Here are 5 things you need to make a chic garden kitchen of your own.

1. CARRARA MARBLE COUNTERS – Nothing like white marble counters with a hint of gray in them for character.  This classic marble stone is a must have.

2. SIMPLE ISLAND PENDANT LIGHTS – This kitchen features simple glass pendant lights from Urban Electric Company.

3. COUNTER OR BAR STOOLS THAT MAKE A STATEMENT – Love these counter stools with their mid-century modern vibe…the surprise is that they are in green! Click here to buy!

4. STEEL WINDOWS AND DOORS – Am obsessed with steel windows and doors.  TE knows it.  He’s had an earful.  These black framed casement windows and French doors add style and let in the light from the garden.

5. STYLISH CLASSIC KITCHEN RANGE – Your stove should be functional yes…but it can also make a huge design statement.  I think a beautiful stove is worth the splurge in any kitchen.  Love the white La Canche range used in this wonderful garden room

    Love the steel doors and windows! I’d opt for a quartz countertop for ease of maintenance. I don’t have gas where I live so I’d swap out the range for an induction cooktop and steam oven. Throw in my dog’s bed and the room is complete.

    Lovely write up. Are the cabinet pulls and handles brass, bronze or a silver finish? It is difficult to tell. Thanks!

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
