For these owners in the south of France an environmentally friendly and basic kitchen was the first priority for the remodeling of their home. Designer Annick Lestrohan created this open kitchen of mainly concrete with very subtle glam touches like the brass wall-mounted faucets and the shimmery tiles on the table top, that keep this unique kitchen from being austere. Enjoy.
Adirondack chairs are quintessentially American and although I believe they are not that good looking they could be cute comfortable. The traditional ones could be a bit rustic but then again, they’re cooomfortable…. and with the new designs now available everyone who is up for comfort can enjoy one without sacrificing style. Below is a list of more modern Adirondack chairs. Enjoy

Good morning my lovely visitors. It’s a cloudy Monday morning; Not a news anymore, and the only thing I would love to do is to stay inside, grab a cup of hot coco and enjoy a long and warm meal with family and friends. But, it’s the beginning of a new week and as I said before, a very busy one. By Wednesday, I hope, I can start posting the updates of our master bathroom remodeling. It’s going to be a fun week. For now I’ll share these beautiful images of a Chic-Parisian table setting designed by the cookbook author Dorie Greenspan “Around my French Table“. In this article at More magazine Dorie shares a few rules to consider when entertaining a la Parisienne; such as, “forks face down, tines against the tabletop, and serve the water at room temperature (anything colder is too shocking)” Check out the article for really good looking recipes. Below, is how I would decorate a Parisienne table setting. Enjoy!

Above is an example of the Nouveau-Rustico design trend or shall I say new decor style . Here, a salvaged wood dining table with chrome legs is surrounded by Eames molded plastic chairs and a crystal chandelier hangs above. Very soothing, organic and glam at the same time.
