Loving how white paired with a bit of soft turqoise helps make these spaces look so fresh.

Hope you have a great start to your week!

Just had a chance to flip through my copy of the latest issue of C Magazine and was delighted to see featured this beautiful Hollywood Hills home. Especially loving the gorgeous outdoor living area and the living room with big windows and views of the green garden. I think they shall be the newest additions to my dream home inspiration file.

A kitchen rail positioned above or near the stove is a great way to keep frequently used cooking utensils easily accessible and in a neat row.

Kitchen Windows & Glass Cabinets

06.9.11

Oh my…

Windows, sunlight, and a view without sacrificing cabinet space. Genius! Of course you’d have to keep things edited, neat and organized, but isn’t that true for any kind of glass front cabinet? This is definitely going into my dream kitchen inspiration file.
