red nook

I wrote about breakfast nooks the other day. So we've decided that we can't afford to have one in the house, for now.

But it still has not deterred me from finding beautiful pictures of breakfast nooks on Pinterest!.

I'm loving this one right now.

I've never been a fan of red, but this crimson looks so pretty. I'm loving the exposed wood beam, the raw plaster walls, the linen table cloth with the red stripes. And floral pillows matched with striped pillows look great, too.

Lovely!

kitchen crush

I saw this beautiful kitchen on Houzz and thought I'd share it with you here. Take a look!

I'm really liking the off-white cabinets, the marble countertops and the backsplash. I also love that open shelf showing a collection of books and mixing bowls.

 The kitchen has a great view to a green garden. The windows open up like french doors. Check out the huge farmhouse sink.

And lets look at the details a little bit closer, shall we?

I love the glass pendant lamps, the simple cabinetry and a mix of hardware used. And a kitchen can never have enough drawers!

Have a great Tuesday!
