We are in the planning cycle of designing a new kitchen and great room for our 1940s home. If all goes well, we will start construction this spring.
With so many decisions to be made for the renovation, I turn to Pinterest – my favorite destination for endless inspiration and a fabulous place to organize all of my ideas.
Here are a few of my most popular home decor pins from the last few weeks:
Hello Monday! The start of a new week can be both refreshing and overwhelming. This week is loaded with back-to-school planning, client projects and wrapping up our remodel (which I’m hoping to share more pix of soon!). So, I’m a bit more overwhelmed than I’d like.
To start the week off on an inspiring note, I’m sharing a few of my favorite pins on Pinterest as of late.

A kitchen doesn’t have to be massive to be functional and beautiful. This all white kitchen designed by Jute Home is a perfect example. With the custom cabinetry well planned out, the space has room to accommodate gourmet appliances and touches. Although not enough room for an island, a peninsula does the job of housing the under-mount sink and barstools for three.
Here you can get a better look at the chic marble chevron backsplash and all white countertops (most likely a quartz). Love the open shelving too. They help break up the space visually.
Drinking tea is a daily ritual for me, so I love this last image. 🙂
Isn’t’ this a lovely designed kitchen? And if Jute Home sounds familiar, it might be because Simplified Bee featured their lovely family kitchen for the San Francisco Showcase.

A beautiful, functional butler’s pantry. It’s a space most of us only dream of having. While not all homes have the space or layout for a large butler’s pantry, most kitchens can incorporate a pantry. They can be designed in a variety of ways and sizes. Some are located in a side closet and separated by a door, while others are in a hallway just off the kitchen. One of my favorite pantry style is built-in and a central part of the kitchen itself.
Here are just a few kitchen pantry ideas …
This built-in pantry by Brayer Design has the look and feel of a refrigerator. Love the racks on the cabinet door for spices and smaller items.
Here is a similar pantry by Leslie Ann Abbott that is flush with the refrigeration units.
The space underneath a stairwell sometimes goes unused. In this kitchen by Mark Williams Design Associates a clever and very stylish pantry is created giving a little more storage.
Spotted on Pinterest, I love this pantry with arched cabinetry doors. Makes a lovely architectural statement.
A hallway can also be a great place for a pantry. Love this one by Karen Swanson. The colorful cabinetry and patterned wallpaper is so playful next to the all white kitchen.
Inspired? Me too.
