Art

I have been trying to keep an eye out for art lately. Since buying the house, I realized that we have a lot of walls and little to no art to put on them.

I like the idea of making the kitchen warm and camouflaged. These images show how people have hidden kitchen storage with inviting art/photography -- Tricks you into thinking you are in a lounging area and not a kitchen. . .

Round Dining

So that there is no head of the table - Everyone is equally set.

 . . . They don't have to be filled with color, cartoons and STUFF to be fun and juvenile.

Capital Kitchen in Melbourne

Designed by Australia-based Mim Design, Capital Kitchen boasts a perfect combination of inviting warmth with industrial elements. The contrast between so many of the materials used is just awesome.
(wood, brick, baskets, metal, glass, greenery, marble)  = Love it all.
