Grey Kitchens: A love Story

 Grey Kitchens

  Hi everyone! I was thinking about something that I am very much in love with, that being grey kitchens. I have been obsessing over grey kitchens for quite some time now, as I am sure everyone around me knows, especially in my interior design class! I think I love anything grey when it comes to interior design, so a grey kitchen is perfect for me! I think I love a grey kitchen because of how calming it is; it is subdued in a good way. I especially love when people pair a grey kitchen with white marble, or even black soapstone (my two favorite counter top stones) I think it takes a very specific person to enjoy a grey kitchen, as many people are turned off from the color grey, as they think it is "boring" or "sterile". I think a grey kitchen will take your home to another level of style, not only because it is trendy at the moment, but it gives your kitchen an identity of its own. White kitchens are great, but can be too bright, so I think a grey kitchen it a perfect alternative. I hope you enjoyed this post, and I will try to do more interior design posts soon!



Possibly my favorite kitchen ever.

Current Obsession: Marble




Current Obsession: Marble

    Hi everyone! I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving! As we are rapidly approaching the holidays, I promise I will do more gift guides very soon! So be on the look out for that! Today I wanted to talk about a current obsession of mine; marble. I love marble for so many different reasons, such as, that it is beautiful, timeless, ad it will never go out of style. I love marble for many different purposes:

Kitchens and Bathrooms: I think a marble kitchen will never go out of style, as people have been using it for over a hundred years, and will continue using it for another hundred. Personally I don't know if I could have a marble kitchen, as it does scratch and stain very easily, but I will continue to admire it. Mable bathrooms are also amazing. I love how clean and fresh they look. I especially love when people do a basket weave pattern on the floor of their bathroom in marble. Again, I don't think that it would work in my lifestyle, but I would highly consider it. I think that if you can afford to put marble in your kitchen or bathroom, then go for it! It adds tremendous value to a home.

Furniture and home decor: Another reason why I am loving marble right now, is for its furniture purposes. I am in love with marble coffee tables! I have a marble coffee table at my house, and it is honestly one of my favorite pieces of furniture. It adds so much to a room, and really gives your room an elegant feeling. I also love marble for home decor. What I mean by that is, I like things such as cutting boards and other elements of a home made from marble. Whenever I go to Homegoods, I always look at the cutting boards, because the majority of them are half wood, and half marble. That can give your kitchen such a beautiful look! You can basically change the whole look of a kitchen, by just changing your cutting board! Other home accessories I like made of marble are thinks like statues and candlestick holders. I think pieces like that really make a home look elegant and timeless.

Personal Accessories: Finally, I like marble for personal accessories. These include, phone/computer cases and clothing. While this whole marble trend has been going on for a little while now, I always love to see people with marble print phone cases, or even marble backgrounds on their phones. It's very on trend right now, and it gives you a cool look. When it comes to clothing I have not seen too much clothing in marble print, but I think a men's t shirt with a marble print pocket would look amazing. And for women I think that accessories such as purses, or even nail polish look amazing in marble! There are so many possibilities when it comes to embracing this marble trend!

Even More Horse Hair!

Even More Horse Hair!

       A couple of weeks ago, when I was at TJ-Maxx I saw these coasters made of horse hair, and I was in awe of how amazing they looked, but I did not get them. Ever since then, I have been thinking about them, until today when I stumbled upon a little box made of the same horse hair! I was so happy to find it, I made sure to buy it! I am so happy that I did make the choice of buying it, because it looks amazing on one of the shelves in my room. Its a super unique little box that you can put any small trinkets into. So until next time, please leave me comments and make sure to read my other blog posts to see what in for home decor!

For the Love Of Knoll

For the Love of Knoll

          In honor of the annual Knoll Furniture sale (which ends on September 30!) I decided to make a post about the love and appeal of Knoll Furniture! For the longest time I saw knoll furniture on flea market shopping shows, but never quite understood the appeal. That was until I went on their website and saw the prices! Like over $5000 for a Barcelona chair! (which is on sale right now for about $4600) While I cants afford to spend 5k on a single chair, I can appreciate the workmanship that it takes to create these amazing pieces of furniture. This encourages me to go out flea market shopping, to find these amazing pieces. While you can find a replica Barcelona chair at TjMaxx, you get what you pay for. Maybe one day I will be able to buy an amazing piece of Knoll furniture, but until then I will keep on window shopping. Make sure to leave me comments and find me on twitter and instagram!
