kitchen reveal: fayetteville version

remember this post?

operation bar stool

wasn't sure about island bar stools.

so when my 'old' barstools arrived
and i threw them under the island
and i stood back (way back)
and squinted my eyes
they worked.

actually for now they do.

yes, they are bar stool height
rather than the island counter height.

only skinny thighs can actually sit there,
but they will do for now.

you with me?

still on the search for two more stools
to round out our family of five,
or perhaps find 5 on sale.
...to be continued on that front.

oh boy do i love white cabs.
always have.
always will.

feeling more at home.

so what do you think so far?

Kitchen Love: Open Shelving

Not sure why
I have kitchen shelving

on the brain,
but I do.

Loving.

The Unwavering White Kitchen

White Kitchen Cabinets

One thing over the years, I've always loved,
still love and will continue to love

That's comforting to know that over time, I still like what I like.
Kind of like my husband (he's a keeper for sure!)

Check out these fab white kitchens.
How much do you love?
(or is it just me?)

Okay, this one isn't quite all white. Only the counter tops are white,
but I really liked this kitchen so I put it in the heap.

What is YOUR unwavering decorative LOVE?

As always, thanks for visiting...

Subways in the Kitchen

Looking to redo?
Buy new?
Simple, clean and timeless...

My personal favorite kitchen look is the
sophisticated, sleek and chic look of

SUBWAY TILES

Take a look at these beauties and let me know what you think...

Glass subway tiles in the kitchen...perfect amount of color
to accent the already neutral palette.

So bright and airy

love the contrasting cabinetry color with the marble counter tops.
Highlighted all by the subway tiled back splash...lovely



Another subtle hint of color with these sleek glass subway tiles

Love the open shelving...couples with white hot beveled tiles.
Smokin'

Love the white on white on white
Don't forget to check out that ceiling


For an urban look, stainless and neutral elongated subway tiles...
glass front cabinetry. Very handsome.

One of my favorite looks...
How about you?

As always thanks for visiting...
