Bright and cheery kitchens

I'm feeling quite yucky today, so I thought I'd post some pretty, bright pics. These are all of kitchens and dining areas I thought were especially cheerful. Hope you are feeling better than me!

A round up of eye candy to get through the Monday

Happy Monday of a short week! Somehow - even with the holiday week - it still feels like Monday today. So...lets perk it up a bit with an installment of Favorite Images from my Favorite Blogs

Enjoy! (In no particular order)

From Chocolate Creative


I like the simple, white kitchen on the left


From roomenvy
makes me want lunch!

What do you think of this black and white bedroom?


and last but not least, life a la mode.

Glam interiors with a modern Swedish flair

These spaces really speak for themselves. Enjoy.


Is that a shoe display?

Lovely kitchens that will inspire you

Once the weather gets chilly we spend even more time in the kitchen baking up warm goodies. So I thought it'd be appropriate to post some kitchens which get me excited for the upcoming cooking/baking season - even though I primarily just eat the food - and someone else makes it. All of these images are from our dearly departed Domino.



What do you think of the back splash and counter?



Interesting wood paneling...yay or nay?

so bright and cheery - perfect for muffin eating in the morning

A polished Scandinavian style home

As you all know I'm a big fan of Scandinavian interiors, so I thought the lovely home of this young couple was worth sharing. It's a bit too "all white" for me, as my tastes have changed a little over the past year, but I still appreciate the rooms on an individual level.



Love the candelabra in the bathroom!

This is my favorite shot - the fabric inspiration board looks like art and ads a little personality to the place.



I have to admit I am not into the whole cow hide trend. I think the living room would look cozier with a regular rug, and instead of the two dining room chairs on the opposite side of the coffee table, something a little plusher.


What do you think of this place? What would you change?

Favorite images from my favorite blogs

Hi all - sorry I've been MIA this week, a lot came up. I thought I'd merge back into the grind with some lovely imagery I've found on some of my favorite blogs. In no particular order:



From the breezy, beautiful Beach Bungalow 8

Such a cheerful windowseat!

I like the look of different curtains, mixed and matched


From the always delightful Brabourne Farms
