Beautiful Orange and Blue, a Montana Cabin, and More: Friday Finds
Today I’m headed to Chicago with hubby for some sightseeing and fun. We’ll end our excursion with dinner at a restaurant whose chef was honored with a James Beard award. This is a first for me and next on our bucket list is to have dinner at a Michelin star restaurant in the city. My fascination with creative food follows a series of binge-watching cooking shows. Thankfully, tomorrow’s dinner at Virtue isn’t ridiculously expensive like I thought it would be. I’ll let you know how it goes, but for now, let’s check out some inspiration from this week.
Looking for a different color palette for fall decorating? I love this orange and blue combination shown in a variety of ways. Some of the examples are fairly easy to recreate – like the blue glass bottles with orange stems.
If you want to get yourself in a cozy mood, look no further than this charming Montana cabin. It’s small in size but big on character!
Earlier this week I stumbled across this amazing kitchen makeover – from builder grade to a truly charming and functional kitchen. I love the choice of cabinet colors. It’s truly lovely and I wouldn’t change a thing!
With Thanksgiving around the corner, you might be thinking about your dining room. A fairly easy way to give it some drama is to paint the ceiling! Check out these dining examples to see how a boldly painted ceiling makes a big difference.
Finally, as you consider your Christmas flower arrangements, be inspired by these bouquets on my sister blog, Pond and Garden. They easily transfer from Christmas to winter.
Interesting kitchen “makeover.” The end result was beautiful and practical. But I put “makeover” in quotes, because it really wasn’t a makeover. The before was a blank slate, with the layout pre-set by the builder, and all drywall and rough plumbing/electrical done. There was no demo required, no cheap/ugly builder cabinets/lighting/plumbing to remove. And then the whole project was subsidized by Lowe’s, which means the out-of-pocket costs were artificially low. Only a design legend like Emily Henderson could manage that type of deal. Not us mere mortals. But yes, it is a great kitchen.
