KITCHENS THAT COOK!!!

Hope your week is progressing fabulously well. If its been anything like mine it has been FAST and F-U-R-I-O-U-S for sure!!!! I already have my mind set for Friday to include an extended holiday weekend courtesy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!!!

My plans will consist of adding photos to my home tour page and sharing several more inspirational posts.  As mentioned previously HERE, our family go to space for all gatherings (large and small) center around the kitchen. 

Kitchens that COOK not only offer plenty of elbow room for large meals, but packs amazing design elements....its all about the balance of function and all things appeasing to the eye. I tend to be drawn to modern cabinetry that offer a two tone color scheme.  Hard wood floors add warmth and I love the dazzle of stainless appliances. 

Isn't the below space perfect?

I also love the clean lines of the room below?  How about them chandeliers?  I see you!!!

Warm Kitchens + Cozy Living Rooms = Soulful Sundays

I hope each of you are having a splendid Sunday and your overall weekend was OUTSTANDING!

Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week.  You see in our home, Sundays are spent leisurely,  relaxing the day away with slight preparation/organization for the upcoming work/school week. We generally consume LARGE home cooked meals with multi courses that can last for a few days. I enjoy this time I am able to share with my loved ones...its like food for the soul; better yet, soul food... without the calories.

Since Sundays = Large meals in the KITCHEN + lounging in the LIVING ROOM, I decided to share some photos of my favorite kitchen and living rooms that not only inspire me but are soulful in design.

I love the overall color scheme of the first photo.  Mixing cabinetry finishes is a great way to modernize and add character to a space.

A large island is a must....especially if its a piece of furniture!!!!  I love how the white modern cabinets marry with the traditional cherry furniture.  The below look is timeless.
