Inspiring Kitchen Image

This image is from Remodelista, posted on Domino’s blog. I am installing a window seat + farm table in my kitchen now. The windows make this great, but I like the paneling and the candelabra as well.

I think that I will look for a farm table that will be improved, rather than ruined by dripping wax, and hang a couple of candelabras above it.

Sundance Stools in Place

Sundance Stools in Place, originally uploaded by farmhousemodern.

I just found this picture on Bill and Nina’s Dutchess Digs. These are the Sundance stools featured in the prior post: Kitchen Island Stools.

 I am not sure that I like them as well in place.  It might just be the juxtaposition with the very modern island that I need to digest.

Painted Wood Floors

November 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment


Impractical as it seems, I am thinking of painting a bathroom floor. This one is from Domino.

The room has no windows, and it is a challenge to make it bright and welcoming. Painted floors seem like they might do the trick.  I spent an hour or so digging around with the idea of a light (but not white) floor with a few graphic patterns, maybe numbers or letters, maybe a big “&”, but instead I found loads of white floors and a few diamonds.

Send me images if you can find more interesting graphics on painted floors.
