books as art...

 

I love this over sized stack of books on display.  I have a huge collection of books - design books and novels etc that are stacked here and there and everywhere!  Do you love books.. Do you store them in a nontraditional way?  If so I would love to know!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

French inspiration..

 

Some days more than others I feel very inspired..  In remodeling my own kitchen I have found that I am very inspired by the look of vintage display cabinets.  I am assuming that many of the pieces I have seen and saved images away of are vintage shop cabinets- much like this one from France.  These pieces make me smile inside..  they remind me of some of my other French favorites.  As I am sure you know if you have read the blog for a little while I am completely obsessed with Vintage French goodies as well as some new French goodies too.  

Thank you to Vicki at French Essence for posting about her kitchen and her dishes yesterday, you got my wheels spinning and reminded me I need to make a wish list of dishes for my next trip to France in the spring...  So here are a few of my favorites for the kitchen and a little French Inspiration.

 

 

Have a day dreamy Tuesday!

Rough Lux kitchen

 

Completely loving the rough look of the storage and counters in this kitchen.  Fits in so well with the exposed brick and beaming, not to mention the fabulous crates that are used like drawers.

Grey Storage...

 

These bookshelves are fantastical!  I love the height of the base, it gives them a completely unusual look, in a good way.  Built-in book shelves always make me think of an older established home.  

The background is painted an even darker shade of grey which gives it some additional depth.

Vintage in the kitchen..

 

Love this vintage style cabinet in the kitchen.  I wish we were organized enough to have glass on a huge storage piece like this.

Grey Storage...

 

I love the slightly disorganized feeling here...  everything is so simple and clean that it seems to work.  It reminds me of my everyday..  slightly askew and perfectly out of balance!

Have a wonderful Friday!

Black and white storage.

 

I taken by this picture.  It is such a simple idea to have all white china.  It is easy but at the same time it seems impossible for me.  Maybe I should lean towards that light grey blue that covers my all time favorite dishes from Astier de Villatte.  That seems more reasonable right?  Just a whole cabinet full of them - dreamy.
