KOHLER Colour Sinks Featuring Jonathan Adler


Have you seen the new colourful sinks designed by Jonathan Adler for Kohler? They're proof that a little colour can go a long way. Once I saw these beauties, I was instantly in love. Like the images above, I love the look of an all white kitchen with one of these sinks on prime display. With four fabulous colours to chose from, I found it difficult to pick my favourite. But true to my love of green, the "Greenwich Green" tone won me over {although I am a big fan of blue, especially the "Annapolis Navy" hue}. The sinks come in three different sink styles: Iron/Tones, Whitehaven {my personal favourite} and Riverby. What do you think of these sinks and which colour is your favourite? Happy Tuesday!

The House of Windsor ~ {The Kitchen}

Images via Veranda Magazine

Happy Weekend, gang! When I came across this kitchen designed by Windsor Smith, I just had to share it. Smith teamed up with Veranda magazine to create Veranda UnVeils ~ The House of Windsor, an 8,000 square foot Georgian-style residence. The house itself was designed by several designers: Kathryn Ireland, Richard Shapiro and Lawrence Bullard -- just to name a few -- and so I enjoy how it's a collaboration of the interior design minds. Although the entire house is stunning, the kitchen really caught my eye. It's a mix of relaxed yet sophisticated style. The mute colour palette is particularly interesting to me. I love how it makes everything else in the kitchen pop - especially the green colour in the veggies and the pink colour in the flowers. The farm-tub style kitchen sink in marble is worth drooling over. It really compliments the space and ties in the colour palette. What is your favourite thing about this space?

4 Different Looks ~ The Kitchen Nook

 Images via Style at Home Magazine

The kitchen nook. It's one of the most used places in the house. Where the family comes together before the hustle and bustle of the morning routine. With thanks to Style at Home magazine throughout the years, I've complied 4 different kitchen-nook looks! Which one are you a fan of? The bright, breezy and modern kitchen nook exudes calming and positive energy. The ghost chair, eye-catching flowers and beautifully crafted pillows is a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning. The breezy east-meets-west nook brings the Eastern flare; the bamboo chairs, with the Western feel of the saarinen table, banquet cushions and accessories. I love how the splash of yellow is just the right amount: not too overpowering but present enough to make itself noticed. The elegant and unexpected room looks more like a dining space with the cabinets and the chunky, circular table (on wheels!) I love the twist of making this the kitchen area. Why not? There are no rules - it's your space! You call the shots. Finally, the cozy and comfy kitchen nook brings in armchairs, often reserved for the living room, into the kitchen area. The mute colour palette feels soft, serene and welcoming. What do you think about these spaces? Have a beautiful Thursday!

Weekend Inspiration ~ Kitchen Islands That Pop!


The island can be the hub of your kitchen. Often praised for its convenience, why not also make it stand out design wise?  For some weekend inspiration, I decided to present two kitchen islands that pop. The first is designed entirely of Lego {how cool!} This Lego basic kitchen island - crafted out of more than 20,000 pieces - was created by Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti for IKEA. With an island as colourful and eclectic as this one, you can keep the rest of your kitchen basic. Red stools are added for a splash of colour but the rest of the kitchen, including the appliances, are in basic white. Or how about this beautiful green kitchen island? Check out all of the storage possibilities! Shelves, drawers, hooks and crannies make this island stand out from the rest. Naturally, I'm in love with the green colour. There's even a shelf to keep your rolling pin! And those cookbooks you adore so much? Hidden away with easy access! Which island do you prefer? 

Cheers to a beautiful weekend, gang!
