Anniversary Dinner

At our last anniversary dinner, Alex took me to Atlanta's Barcelona.

I was so pleased with the environment from the moment we pulled up -- Tight, boxy, wooden planters and an awesome patio.

Then we walked in to find the rustic industrial restaurant to find it boasting with white subway tile and black grout, minimal fixtures everywhere and a real sense of casual elegance.

So, not to my surprise, I see Desire to Inspire devoted a posting to them. The below images were taken from that posting.

enjoy.

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.
Loving this owl photograph.

disguise your kitchen storage

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. . .

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.
