Small but cute kitchens

These are 3 small kitchens but very stylish!

SWEDEN !

LOVE these Kitchens !

That first one, WOW. Design is SO fun !

Apartments !

Here are 3 apartments from around the world. The top one is from Hong Kong. Very nice although I'm not sure about the tub. Love the tub, love the look, but what about privacy ? Still, so pretty. The 2nd one is from Sweden. Love the white, so simple, and clean feeling. The 3rd is from the United States. I LOVE this one ! It was in the AT small cool contest. The rest of the place is just as amazing !

Rooms with a summer feel

Maybe its a lot of white that makes a room have a "summer" feel to them but these 3 rooms have it. Slipcovers? Not too fussy? I guess a dog on a surf board helps! Not sure but I love it !

Stylish Rooms

Great looking rooms that really do not have a common thread, just nice ! Have a GREAT weekend everyone !

White !

One of the most used tip in small space design is using the color white. I personally think you can use any color in a small space, but white is a wonderful choice. In addition to white making a space look larger, you can add any accent color with smaller accessories and not break the bank!

A beautiful redo

Totally loving this 900 square foot cottage rehab. Simple and perfect ! For more on this home, click the title of this post...

Open or Closed Storage ?

Everything needs a place. Putting your things away is key to small living. The very first thing you should consider is open or closed storage. I tend to lean towards closed, because, well, I'm a messy person. Don't get me wrong. I love the look of open storage, I just know my limitations :). My best advice is, if its pretty and you like to look at it, open storage. Otherwise, hide that stuff !!

Keeping it Simple

I think sometimes the best way to make a small space larger is to keep it simple. Simple colors along with the things you need and the things that make you smile. Our minds are bombarded with information all day long. Its nice to come home to a calm peaceful house!

Summer Time Rooms

These room give off a very summer time feel to me. Perhaps its all the white and the brightness or maybe because it reached 80 degrees today and its suppose to snow on tuesday...(enough winter already) I'm in full "I WANT SUMMER" mode!

White Light

We all know it, nothing opens up a small space like tons of natural light and white paint. White mixed with just about anything is a good thing. I love color and I love white. What can I say? There is room for both in the small space!

A Soft Place to Fall

I'm such a sucker for a comfy bed. I've posted about this before and I will probably post about it again. I love something about all 3 of these rooms. I've never been one for a overly dressed bed. Too fancy makes me nervous!!

Style File- Black and White

Lucy and Desi, peanut butter and jelly, black and white. What do they all have in common? They were made for each other! Ok, Lucy and Desi for the 50's but you get my drift! Black and white has been around forever it seems and for good reason. A fun way to tweak black and white is to add a 3rd color to the mix in a smaller dose.

Neutrals

One look I never seem to tire of is creamy whites mixed with warm wood tones. The 2 tones go together very well and I think that's why you see it used a lot. The picture with the desk is of my teenage daughters room. I redid it a few years back and she was not happy with the lack of color. But now that she's older she really likes it and her friends do too. Very calming colors for the bedroom. I have color in my home too, but I do love the feel that warm whites bring to a room.

STYLE FILE-White

I promise you I will go over certain subjects again and again. When I do, you can be sure its a favorite subject of mine. One subject I never tire of is the color white. The older I get the more white I want. I don't know why that is, it just is. Its so crisp and clean and noncomplicated. Maybe its how we long our lives to be? I dunno. White with bold splashes of color or even bright white with cream white....I love em' all.
