Kitchens and Living

The heart of almost every home is the kitchen! You’re in there for at least three meals of the day, and if you think about it, whenever there is a gathering of people, there has to be food. For this reason, it’s a no brainer why every modern floorplan today leans towards an open concept – grabbing a snack at the large kitchen island and being able to sit close by on your couch. My apartment is already like that and I can’t imagine living any other way! When it comes to design though, the overall aesthetic of your homes floor, walls and cabinetry can really make a difference as to how you design your living spaces. The kitchen typically creates the foundation for a home’s overall feel and style, so today I’m bringing a design totally opposite from my current modern, bright and clean lined apartment kitchen and living room.

My inspiration started here:

And led me to this:

A warm, very traditional, with pops of patterns mixed along! I really started with the flooring and cabinet color. Mixed in a more neutral kitchen surface and backsplash to bring the pattern alive as the star of this room. Let me know what you think and if you’re wondering how else I would complete this look. A couch, pillows, bar stools, anything. I’ll have everything linked down below. Thanks for checking it out. XO, G

Bronzed and Browned Toned Kitchen

Happy Sunday everyone! I took some time this week to put together a kitchen design totally different from the last kitchen post I had. The colors are on the darker and warm color side compared to a typical white kitchen we see more of. I still made the design fun with a bronze back splash and more modern center island pendant, so the look doesn’t feel so traditional.

Take a look below at the materials, I  will have everything linked through text. I even included a rough floor plan design to give you an idea of what the space could look like. Thanks for checking it out, and as always, feel free to comment or send a question!

Here is the floor plan I came up with as well. There would be lower and upper cabinets as well as open shelves next to the pantry door.
