Showing Off

I LOVE designing kitchens.  They are the heart of the house and where most of the action takes place.  It is so important to have a kitchen that you feel comfortable working in.  When starting kitchen remodels, usually my client's number one reason for doing a remodel is that their kitchens do not work for them and they love to cook.  How can you find inspiration for a dish in a kitchen that is too hard to get around, no matter how large a space you have?

Today, I am showing off!  Here are two photos of a kitchen and butler's pantry that I recently designed for a spec house.  Since I didn't have a particular person that I was designing for, I made the kitchen how I would want it.

A Little Leopard

When it comes to leopard, I am definitely my mother's daughter.  If there was any trait that I inherited from her, it was the love of just that.  Here are some of my fav's:

Obsessions...


I have never been one to be OCD.  However, when designing rooms for my clients, I sometimes find myself obsessing over certain items that go in these rooms.  It can be something very large, like a sofa, or it can be something quite small, like a bud vase.

This time, it's ANYTHING LUCITE.  For the home or for me to wear.
