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 than the norm, like this one shared by onlyndoor.com.  At first glance, this unique snack bar at the window draws us in.  With a closer look, let’s look at all the well-planned details that really make this such a welcoming home!

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

• satin smooth black cabinets with a transitional door style
• marbleized quartz countertops with a full wall splash…instead of expected subway tile
• a natural, irregular edge wood top creating a wonderful snack spot in front of the windows
• this may be a galley kitchen with the absence of an island….unknown for certain but refreshing
• a perfect shade of white on the kitchen walls, ceiling and trim work
• warm wood floors meet an extended base with a nice cap detail
• simple casement header on the opening to the dining room
• a dining room getting used everyday!
• modern, larger than pendants lighting artistically placed over the bar area…envision how these must set the scene at night
• larger burnished pulls on the lower cabinets are easy to use
• what a wonderful, agean color above white slat lower walls in the dining room
• elevated upper wall cabinets allow for this cool metal shelf underneath
• copper kettle, cookbooks and a plant on the slender shelf
• nicely scaled counter stools with a view
• ah…the small, worn brass, back plate and ringed cabinet pull on the upper doors
• the introduction of yet another aged metal in the dome fixture over the dining table
• woven, recessed window shades provide just the right amount of privacy when needed, dappled sunlight or unobstructed views
• a round dining table living happily with contemporary sled base chairs
• the dining room area rug feels soft on morning feet
• counters and dining room table accessorized with items ready to use, and a bit of the backyard as a centerpiece
• Mom, so busy all week, just finishing the clean up from making the cupcakes on the cake stand
• her family lingering about asking when those  goodies will be ready
• sister, and her kids, on the way over to have lunch and enjoy a day catching up
• hubs heading out the back door, stolen cupcake in hand, to get materials for the next DIY project
• happy weekend!
