My inspiration stash - round 1

I thought I would do a little something different today so last night I went through my inspiration folder (always a bit sad as it seems rebuilding this house is never going to become reality) and picked out all of the photos that really stand out and make me have heart palpitations. So here's the first batch. 

This has been my favourite wood floor for EVER. I adore the rustic/raw look. DREAMY. (Via Hus & Hem)

While I love my current kitchen, black and white kitchens always get me going. The tile backsplash is perfection. (Via Anna Carin Design)

My next kitchen absolutely must have some sort of butler's pantry type situation going on. Check out the little space off this kitchen. (Elizabeth's lake house)

LOVE!!!

Barn door, beautiful reclaimed wood, a dose of yellow, black Eames dowel chairs, concrete floors = a fabulous casual dining space. Via Edwards Moore. 

LOVE!!!

I'm totally in love with the pendant lights in these photos. Ok, the kitchen, dining table and chairs too.

Tea for two

I adore this cozy little cozy little dining space (even though the chairs are pretty wacky) so I had to share. When thinking of what I would say about it, my first random thought was when I finally get to meet Jo for the first time, what a perfect spot to sit together with pots of tea and plates of cookies and talk for hours, finally face to face. :-) Happy Friday!

A funky dining space

I found the following awesome space on The Village, and while I don't speak Russian, Google Translate tells me this is a space created by Herculis Studio. They might be a catering business, something culinary-related anyway, and they wanted a space to meet with clients and discuss projects and organize dinners and parties for friends. Just about all of the decor and furniture was purchased at flea markets around the world. I freaking LOVE this. Jo and I are flea market/thrift junkies and this space is so much fun and quirky and super cool. I can imagine spending hours in here with friends and family feasting and chatting and having a drink or 3. (Photos by Olga Eichenbaum)
