I totally fell for these images when the sweet Angela sent them my way for some kitchen nook inspiration!  So clean and really just perfect.  I am pretty sure I would loose my voice from yelling at the kids not to get anything dirty if I took this road, but it would look great for a few days!

Stay tuned for the design ideas for Angela's home coming next week...

Also, this week starting tomorrow I have some wonderful guest posts coming up!

Hello, I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday after a wonderful weekend! 

I wanted to share a project that I have been working on with the lovely Jennifer for her home. She has a wonderful space that is perfect for making a cozy family atmosphere.  I am so lucky to have wonderful people to work with and I am so excited to see how it all turns out!

More details to come....

.....

Are you ready??  I know I know.  I should not forget that next week is Thanksgiving... but I am ready to toss out the pumpkins and bring in the greenery...  You?  Have you started your Holiday shopping??

Loving the feel of the sea in this space.  It is but it is not at the same time..  

Here is my dining room as it is now... With dark brown paint and the mirror collage. I am not in love. We have an ugly ceiling fan that was existing and most of the furniture was new. I had the drapery made and put in just after we moved in a couple of years ago. I have been dying to change this room for a while now but have been kind of undecided on what exactly to do. (I have had a square of Slate Grey from Restoration Hardware painted on the wall for 3 months or so waiting for my husband to give in.)

So we will paint and I have decided to sell the mirrors to make way for a large reproduction clock face with zinc. I am so excited! I am hoping that the grey on grey will work for the space. I would really love to have some mirrored window panes here - but a clock face will do nicely for now.  I am going to recover the chair seats too once the painting is done.  I found a great settee at the Long Beach Flea Market a few months back that I was thinking of putting in here but it is too low so I have another location planned for that.

The floor will remain unfinished concrete as I am still deciding if we should stain it or just wait for the wood flooring I liked to be within my budget.

I have decided to go ahead with the Slate paint from Restoration Hardware- I love the dark contrast with the white trim. As we progress I will have to give you an update...

(I know I never did do an update on the front door project- they look amazing- I will have to take some pictures and post them.)

Now that we are officially in fall it is time to start thinking about all of the wonderful entertaining ideas we have! Our family and friends will gather with us for special meals and conversation around the table. Here is a little dining inspiration....

Hanging pendants are a great accent piece in so many spaces. Today groupings are replacing the traditional chandelier or can lighting, adding interest and character to dining rooms, kitchens, retail spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms and office spaces.

These fantastic pieces are from Lindsey Adelman the shapes are very organic and gorgeous!

Clear glass Jamie Young pendants





These simple glass pendants at varied heights add interest and depth in these modern dining areas. In a small space you can get a huge impact from pendants with out the heaviness you might feel when using a chandelier.
