We had to share a few images Kristen shot for a client here in Santa Barbara. I love her kitchen and knew this would be perfect for some colour inspiration. This clients’ style is impeccable, and I think she has the perfect combination of colours and textures for this California kitchen. There is a great mix of traditional and quirky style in this home, and that is why I LOVE it! Her vintage chromed bar stools with yellow cushions, and the amazing colour details throughout, make this kitchen my colour inspiration!

Here is a close up of a small area in the kitchen that I think leaves a big presence. She has this open area to display her dishes, and instead of choosing one colour palette, she has picked a number of bright dishes. Why not add some fun to your space by livening up your simple set of white dishes or white cabinets? By adding vivid pinks and bright green dishes, this kitchen was transformed into an enlightened room where entertaining and style meet some serious ‘colour luxury.’

Today I’m dreaming of holiday style! I love this time of the year, and although I love the traditional reds and greens, I also love the soft and calming hues of whites, golds, and silvers. I think it’s important to find your own holiday style, without going overboard on clashing colours with your everyday decor. As preparing for the holidays can be a bit stressful at times, why not create your own holiday oasis with beautiful soft tones in pieces you can enjoy year after year? Find some bliss in simplicity and calm with these pieces.

It’s always fun spending the day going through rows and rows of vintage finds, and I seem to get excited when I find collections of miscellaneous pieces that are colourful and fun. Whether it’s searching for those little odds and ends to complete my own projects or to help me create new things, I’m always on the search for these little pieces.

I love finding vintage threads and fabrics, along with vintage jewelry and other crafty items to help me get my creative on. Odds and ends may be just that, but it’s the little things that can inspire big ideas!

Martha Stewart Living’s design director James Dunlinson and his partner, Alistair Turnball, have an amazing kitchen. After viewing many beautiful photos of their kitchen, I have been on a mission to find a collection of colourful bowls to spruce up my own space. I love how they organized the bowls they have; their collection looks clean and functional and isn’t too perfect. It looks like a home. I’m slowly adding unique dishes to my own cupboards to brighten up my space. Take a look at some of my favorite finds so far from Anthropologie.
