Dream Kitchen

So fresh and clean. Reminds me of Springtime.

I would use a little darker shade of robins egg on the walls, but otherwise it's perfect!

Le Creuset Glitter Spatulas

 

Sur la Table

I got these Le Creuset Silicone Spatulas for Christmas. Don't you think sparkly things would make cooking more fun? I'm going on that theory. And bonus, they'll add some prettiness to my utensil holder.

Dinnerware

I have really tragic dinnerware. We've been using my husband's basic black stoneware set from his bachelor days, intending to buy something better but never getting around to it. I've never been fond of it, so it's no wonder I'm attracted to its exact opposites-- white or colorful! No dark or earthy tones for me.

 

Kensington Pearl Dinnerware | Crate and Barrel

I love the grosgrain detail around the edges. It's so beautiful in person, as is the pale blue set.

Portsmouth Dinnerware | Crate and Barrel

Emma Dinnerware in White | Pottery Barn

Nantucket Dinnerware | Cost Plus World Market

Lenox Simply Fine Dinnerware, Chirp Collection | Macy's

 Haviland Laque De Chine Collection in Light Blue | Williams-Sonoma Home

 

Raynaud Cristobal Collection | Williams-Sonoma Home

 Natural World Dessert Plates | Anthropologie

I think these are gorgeous... but eating off of bugs? These might be better for a wall than a table.

house of spades

these pictures of andy and kate spade's new york home (from the december 2006 world of interiors) have been making the blog rounds lately, but they are so beautiful they deserve to be shown yet again!

 i love a style that is designed just enough, yet is eclectic and personal enough to almost look like a designer wasn't even involved. just homeowners with excellent taste. these particular homeowners had excellent personal taste and an excellent designer, steven sclaroff.

i love these images so much, i put some on the inspiration board i'm making for the rooms in our new apartment. so they may pop up again.

and oh happy day
