Kitchens with that little bit more

 

Do you know that feeling when you see a picture of a dining room or a living room or a kitchen of which you can’t keep your eyes of? Well that happened with me looking at these kitchen images. They all have that little bit more…! Definitely to me!

Enjoy!

Wouldn’t you love to be invited to have dinner in this kitchen? I certainly would !!!

 

Last week I discovered a beautiful blog of 2 lovely ladies, Renee and Angela. The blog UNDER SPANISH MOSS . My dear friends, I really want to advice you to visit this gorgeous blog! Although Renee and Angela started their blog not so long ago, it looks very promising. You will find the most beautiful images of architecture and interior design.

Browsing through this blog, I came across these beautiful kitchen pictures that Angela and Renee posted, talking about the architect Kevin Harris  HERE. I might think that you will all love this blog!

I couldn’t resist to show you 2 of the pictures of this Tuscan inspired kitchen by Kevin Harris.

Beautiful combination of the white cabinets with the stained table and lovely kitchen chairs!

 

 

Since I have discovered the kitchen of Susan, the author of the blog TWO MAISONS ,  I filed the pictures because I just looovvveee this kitchen! No clutter and so airy.

 

23The old cheese planks that Susan used for the kitchen cabinet doors and drawers are fabulous!

Corner Headboards

We have this totally shitty layout in our office. It's a small room and the Duck and I both work from home so we need as much office space as possible. Because we have no spare room for a guest bed we are left to get really creative with how the hell we are going to fit a bed into a room with weird windows and desks. There is so much crap in this room that a good looking bed is gonna be tough. How cool are some of these corner headboard ideas? I threw in some daybeds as well so that no one feels left out!












Domino-ooooooo I miss you soooooo

Stylish Blogger Award.



I got nominated my friends, by not 1 amazing blogger but 2 amazing bloggers for this "stylish blogger award" bizness.


Danika...the seriously talented and annoyingly perfect blogger from Gorgeous Shiny Things as well as Emily from Recently {whom I just discovered today and is a blog rockstar}  I guess deemed me worthy of the award. I feel propelled to take my moment.....cry a little, and give you a speech.. Just kidding. I am supposed to tell you readers 7 things that you didn't know about me....Who's ready for a nap cause my life can at times be snooze worthy!


1: I was born in Hawaii.....Mook Ka Laka Heke Come on you wanna Lay me..yes my friends I was born on the island of Kauai because my Hippie parents graduated from High School and went to live on a beach instead of do the whole "welcome to the real world" way of life. Lots of my family still live there and I like to visit as much as possible!






2: I hate certain words.....words that I cannot even type, and if we were having a conversation and you used them I would get up and leave the room....
I will give you some hints-
First word rhymes with wussy..starts with a "p".........say it and I will vomit on you. This also includes words that have this word within them.... Gwynnie will most likely get kicked out of kindergarten one day when they ask her what creature lives in the ocean and has 8 tentacles...and she replies "Octobuddy"


The second word rhymes with hoist....starts with an "M"...used to describe a cake or something damp....again I will vomit if I so much as hear this word.


Thirdly, this word rhymes with pasty, starts with a "t" and is also probably used to describe a caked or other baked goods..Triple Ew!




3: The Duck is kinda a big deal...HaHa!  He is technically famous most places in the world except the US and is literally a British world travelling rockstar.The tweens love him. Throughout his 11 year career I have seen him take on swarms of screeching kids crying for an autograph and a picture with him. I have also had the fortune of watching him play to crowds of 50,000 plus people whilst pyrotechnics and laser beams go off all around...I means it's really weird right! Hence why the Duck remains the nameless "Duck"... BTW Just typing this instantly makes me feel like an asshole...oh well, I guess it's something you didn't know about me!


{that's the duck with his guitar}


4: I have a really, really good memory for pictures but I will forget your name and what I did 10 minutes ago..




5: I like to draw:

6. I love movies but I HATE movie theatres. Just seeing one makes my palms sweat. Hence why I let the Duck have a super TV surround sound bollocks in our house, just so that I stopped feeling bad for never going to the movies.....ever!

7. I have a major secret crush on "Russell" The troll from survivor: And Crispin Glover who plays "Willard" the sketchy rat collector dude from the movie Willard.


have you all fallen asleep yet? Thanks Ladies for the nomination. At least it gave me something  to post about today. I was stumped between front door colors and bedroom inspirations. I will leave those for tomorrow!
