LOVE!!!
I couldn't get enough of industrial vibe spaces today, so here is a fantastic kitchen remodeled by my favourite Amsterdam designer James van der Velden of Bricks Amsterdam. Concrete and reclaimed wood - be still my heart!
A converted public library
Jessica Helgerson and her team BRING IT with each and every project. This time it's a public library in Portland which then became a church meeting hall which then became a totally gorgeous home. I am so smitten with their kitchens - how they look more like a living room than a typical kitchen. In this one it's achieved with shelving around the main section of cabinetry (with a ladder) - and very cool how it mimics the shelving on the opposite side of the room. (photos by Lincoln Barbour)
Black and gold
In my humble opinion, there is nothing sexier than black and gold. Put them in a kitchen with a gold velvet couch, graphic tile flooring and white subway tiles and I think I'm ready to pass out from sheer ecstasy. LAWD HALF MURSEY!

Around the house
As much as I am dying for a new house, I keep trying to keep myself from going crazy while stuck here by continuing to do small projects and picking up little things here and there I totally don't need or have room for (LOL). Here are the latest bits and bobs that I've worked on or purchased.
First up - I got a little tired and bored with the centrepiece on my dining table. Because my house is so small and my dining space is in the middle of the kitchen, it means the dining table is prime real estate for displays. (You can see photos of what has been hanging out on my table for the past several months here). I went to Value Village Friday and found a wooden tray for $3.99, then went around the house collecting pieces I thought would work for a fall theme. I have a red and orange batik table runner I may put down too (but the cats tend to lay on the table where there's fabric on it).
