My Kitchen Accessories

By Posted on 0 2 m read

I like to think I took my time when styling my white kitchen when we first moved in! I didn’t want to clutter the countertops just to decorate. I like to be intentional on where I place things yet it feels collected over time. I tend to gravitate towards mostly vintage type look, french, traditional accessories and with an added touch of contemporary to keep a space feeling young and fresh! I chose this pair of gray tone wood boards to compliment all the gray and white tones in the kitchen space. I love white or light pink flowers so I went with faux Hydrangeas for low maintenance. It always feels so cheerful to have pretty flowers in a living space don’t you agree? Using a beautiful round beaded tray keeps pretty tchotchkes looking contained and less like clutter. My brass framed art (sorry it is now sold out!) sits on an acrylic easel to be displayed! Another suggestion is that you can always order a beautiful oil painting from a talented artist Etsy (I love supporting small businesses!) and buy a brass frame from a store! I love my dutch oven so much that I wanted to permanently display it on my stovetop! So not only it is functional it is also beautiful to look at! I’ve linked everything below for you and what might be sold out, I’ve linked something hopefully similar! Thanks for stopping by friends! XO!

Target!! They just keep cranking out the good stuff don’t they?! LOL! Now there are days when I can’t burn a good clean soy wax candles so I like to diffuse essential oils!

    My All White Dream Kitchen!

    By Posted on 0 2 m read

    When I was a teenager I used to skim through all of my grandmother’s Better Homes and Garden Magazines whenever I would come to visit her! It was through those magazines that showed me that I wanted an all white classic kitchen! It was clean, beautiful, traditional and timeless! Twenty-five years later, an all white classic kitchen is still to this day is in style! I love surrounding our house in the color white because it’s uplifting in moods and always feels fresh! When we chose to build with Drees Homes, we chose the Clarity 2 package that had all of the kitchen upgrades we wanted! I am so glad we chose to extend the kitchen cabinetry all the way up to the ceiling! It really shows how tall our ceilings are and gives it that custom look without breaking the bank! When we did the backsplash, I knew I wanted a glossy white subway tile! It’s pretty and always looks polish! Plus subway tile is inexpensive! As for the kitchen countertop, I always wanted the classic white Carrara marble but was fearful of the high maintenance factor of it! Especially since we have three young children so we chose the easy maintenance and durability of white quartz! I love the fresh clean look of it and the light gold veining that has the imitation of white marble! For flooring we chose LPV, Luxury Plank Vinyl in the color Flint Gray. I love the taupe color tone of the flooring and it really brings out all of the light grays and white in our interior finishes. At our old house, we used to have real hardwood floors and it saw a lot of scratches on it! In the morning sunlight we could see the many scratches on it! It drove me absolutely crazy! So I knew I didn’t want to do real hardwood floors this time so we went with the LPV for scratch resistant. Best design decision ever because it has held up to the mass destruction that is my wild 4 year old son! LOL! We’ve been here 2 1/2 years now and it still looks brand new! I absolutely love it! Sources are linked below for you if you are choosing to build with Drees home or renovate your own home! XO!

      Good Morning Friends!! Aren’t Fridays the best day to start the weekend?! Just knowing you have 2 whole days to sleep is just GLORIOUS! Don’t you agree?! I’ve picked some GREAT finds for Friday Favorites for you to check out! This super cute green top is the perfect fall transition top!! The best part about it is that it is only $30!!! I also found this gorgeous caramel color cardigan to coordinate with it! It’s perfect for fall too! Have you noticed the new white vases with white raised dots/bumps trends yet? I am pretty sure Ballards was ahead on this trend with this white pedestal bowl as they’ve had this one for a few years now! I’ve got my eye on it to buy next as I have been slowly collecting shelve accessories for our next family room project this winter! And can you believe this GORGEOUS monogram jewelry catch all is only $8.99?!! This is the perfect gift to buy for that special person in your life! I usually diffuse essential oils but once in a while I do love to burn a good smelling soy wax candle! This one by Antique Candle Company is locally made here in Indiana and their Momma’s Kitchen is the PERFECT fall scent! My kids love the smell of it! When styling a room or bookshelves, adding different textures is so important to incorporate! Glass, pottery, books, plant and of course wood! I see wooden bowls everywhere now! It’s the perfect element to warm up the space or a shelf! Last but not least, I recently smelled this perfume in a store and was instantly captivated! It’s got a very clean but pretty floral smell to it! So that one is definitely on my Friday Favorite list! The rest is linked for you below! Happy Shopping friends! XO!

      Lighting Crush!

      By Posted on 0 2 m read

      Ah. Lighting. Like the mirrors, it is also the jewel adornment to a room. Don’t you agree friends? Whenever I think of lighting, I immediately get all excited and giddy like a little kid in a candy store! You see, when you select the right lighting, you set the tone on exactly how you want the room to look and feel! Fun and whimsical lighting can be light hearted and fun! Antique and crystal lighting can be romantic and sentimental. Modern and simple can mean serious and high end. My very own personal style leans towards traditional and french so it may be a surprise to you to see such a wide variety range of lights on this lighting mood board! I absolutely adore all kinds of style! This beautiful coral red lotus light fixture would be so perfect in a teen girl’s bedroom! It’s fun and feminine without being serious at all! Some of you may be surprised to see this crystal adorned antler chandelier on this list, but I think it is just stunning!! It’s the perfect feminine balance to see in all masculine hunting lodge resort! And how fun is this crown chandelier?! I can just envision placed in a baby boy’s Where the Wild Things Are nursery theme! This classic antique brass 3 light pendant that I currently have in my kitchen is at such an amazing deal right now! It is currently being priced at $137.99! I still love it and know that it will be in my own kitchen for years to come! Friends, I hope with my top 12 picks you will be able to find something that suits your very own personal style! XO!
