We Spy With Our Designer Eye

Each Sunday we’ll share a design that caught our eye and we took some time to savor.  Designs that are a little different from the norm, like this one shared by Arent & Pyke.  At first glance we see the explosion of these tomato red counter stools!  With a closer look, let’s delve in and see all the design details that make this kitchen so inviting.

Ooooh…Here’s What I Love About This Interior Design!

• traditional white, full overlay cabinets with added true divided glass pane doors
• complimenting dark counter tops, would be great if soapstone yet probably a honed granite with the matte finish
• half vaulted, shiplap covered ceiling is home to recessed can lights that almost disappear
• dark finish, clear bulb pendant lighting complete the ceiling detail
• wood mimic tile flooring offers such easy maintenance
• abstract art pair start the impression that this kitchen is full of color
• one, two, three different pattern and color area rugs work together so well
• oh my…those patio doors in the same tomato finish as the previously mentioned counter height stools with the “pick me up” handle design
• sitting on the counter is an open shelf for cookbooks leaving us knowing this kitchen is always filled with alluring aroma
• board and batten wall design defines the pathway to the alfresco dining area
• more dark finishes with the simple round cabinet hardware and kitchen sink faucet on a smooth flat front, apron sink (no we don’t have to call them farm sinks!)
• is that wood arm chair part of a built-in breakfast nook, or perhaps a Mom’s day desk?
• wonder who is the collector of the multi-color glass bottles gracing the sink window sill?
• plenty of room for messages and mood inspiring tidbits on the magnetic board above the peninsula extension of the counter space
• the plants!
• what’s in that small floral ceramic bowl…lose change, a piece of chalk, a chef’s errant pony tail holder?
• the dark, aged varnish gnarly leg table is just perfect in the sea of white walls and colorful accessories
• looks like a small size, herringbone, white tile wall splash and more moldings as wainscoting in front of stair spindles (behind the vintage plant table)
• the busy Mom, who snuck out for her early Saturday am market trip, has the fruit all ready for the week in a turned wood pedestal bowl
• she’s sitting outside, on her lovely extension of her kitchen, drinking the last of her coffee before her family finds her asking what will they do today!
