Kitchen Artistic Design

One of the things I did over the long weekend was watch a bunch of movies that I had been wanting to see for a long time. One of them was the hilarious and heart breaking It's Complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin.

I always notice set design in movies, but this one in particular really pulled me in. I wanted to be in that house, eating a meal cooked by Jane (Streep's character) and get comfy in that living room. The house has an easy elegance that is welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was wonderful because it wasn't perfect. It feels European and relaxed. Some images from Universal Pictures and Traditional Home:

Tonight I'm cooking Jake's favorite meal from the movie- Roasted Chicken, green beans and potatoes. My DH will be thrilled! If it's all beautiful I'll take photos and post them tomorrow.

Kitchens and more Kitchens

As I was looking for some inspiration for my future kitchen, I found some amazing designs. Since I will probably be buying brand new, our kitchen and other things will be customizable according to our taste.  I have a great fondness for travertine floors, stone backsplash and wood that sports a "used" look. Along with some accessories and materials that add modernity to the room such as stainless steel and contemporary light fixtures, you have my perfect kitchen. A few extra bucks well spent.

Kitchens with Brick Floors

One of the kitchens we're currently working on will have brick floors. Really a great look - don't you think?

This is not a kitchen, but I love the brick floor!
