Colourful Bowls

October 11, 2010

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.

Farmhouse Kitchen

August 30, 2010

As fall is quickly approaching I’m getting excited for all the fun things that come along with it! A soft fall breeze, tasty candy apples, and beautiful fall colours are just a few of the things I love about this time of year. Fall reminds me of the amazing food that goes along with it, so I am inspired by this farmhouse kitchen chic today. It makes me crave spending time with family, especially in the kitchen! I love spending time in the country during this time of year, and since I can’t make it out there anytime soon, I’m going to enjoy these lovely photos!

This image reminds me of a beautiful farmhouse kitchen in France. A farmhouse kitchen isn’t complete without white vintage egg cups like these.

Baking is essential to me during this warm and cozy time of year. It’s still warm enough to enjoy the outdoors during the day, but late afternoon is the perfect time to start up your oven and bake an apple pie!

How neat is this vintage sifter? I could definitely see this piece sitting around that farmhouse chic kitchen.

This image reminds me of one of our family traditions; making popcorn balls with Grandma Lucy. She is the queen at making popcorn balls, and it’s one of my favorite things to do with her. So yummy!

The lighting in this photo reminds me of the light in my kitchen from the fall sun. Very cozy and comfortable.

Loving this image and these milk cartons. Very vintage and very cute!

Although Grandma Lucy is the popcorn ball queen, my Mom is the queen at making candy. When she starts making her yummy homemade candy, you know it’s finally fall! I just might have to get this set for her.

Creative Outdoor Spaces

February 5, 2010

Spring is our favorite time of year. The weather is beautiful, flowers are blooming, and everyone seems to love spending more time outside. We are beginning to think about our outdoor spaces and are in the early planning stages of our many parties to come all the way through to fall!

Creative Outdoor Spaces

We love interesting outdoor lighting, and have an image that will be sure to inspire your outdoor parties. We suggest adding some colour and warmth to your patios by finding coloured paper lanterns that will bring a trendy and romantic feeling to those calm spring evenings and those warm summer nights.

The easiest way to hang paper lanterns is by finding battery powered lights, or by purchasing light cords and manually putting the lanterns together with the light bulbs. You can find great paper lanterns and light cords from Pier 1 Imports. Get creative with your outdoor spaces and find decor that will inspire you to utilize all of your space and make you want to spend more time outdoors.
