I wouldn’t mind not bringing the family into formal dining with an eat-in kitchen like this. The high ceilings and rustic beams help to elevate even the most simple of meals.

loving every bit of this minimal styling and use of reflective elements to bounce light across the space.

this hobnail milk glass is nothing new, but hey, is anything i love really all that new? i can’t keep this stuff out of my head lately and have been envisioning pieces scattered around my rooms but this cluster keeps me focused and collecting.

for me it is about the classic clean lines made new again. this classic gravy boat originally designed by eva zeisel in 1952 is a perfect example. a timeless design now carried by crate and barrel.

love these simple hand-carved stirring spoons, perfect for a cozy beach cottage {is it summer yet?}

twigs + modern. perfect to pair with any of your newest dishware or your vintage pairings.

the only thing cooler than a fridge is one this fashionable. black & gold makes certain the food never wins top honors in your kitchen.

gold flatware is such a fun little mix + match on a table with your other accessories!

brass is so chic, so lasting and so here to stay. i love the simplicity of these brass beauties to open any beverage.

there is nothing like just plain + simple chocolate cake. i am that girl that asks to hold the icing, please. this image reminds me of the cake i used to bake with my grandmother [and still bake today].

when it comes to my dishes & serving pieces, i try to stay in the whites, all mismatched but each piece having it’s own special vibe. loving these rustic white dishes from crate & barrel, much less clean & modern than their normal wares.

the perfect blend of organic + modern fit for morning coffee or afternoon tea

adore the rustic simplicity of these chocolate mugs.

this sparkle may wake you up prior to that first cup of coffee it brews via anthropologie

i used to go to antique shows and buy single pieces of monogrammed silver flatware to add to my collection and now have  a wonderful assortment and a fun thing to scour for at each new market.
