Island or Dining Table??

Hello Long Lost Friends!!

As many of you may think, I did not pack up and move away to Greece (although that wouldn’t be a bad out!)…  Things have just been uber busy outside of my blog world! Things have surely picked up which is fantastic!! We have lots of projects in the works: Some small, some not so small, some remodels AND some new construction!! I Love it 🙂

In the interim, my  trusty blog was put on the back burner, but not forgotten! I promise to be checking in MUCH more often with inspirations and much more of what we are doing in real life!! In fact, I just uploaded 1600 pictures off my Iphone of projects, things I see, products, etc…. Oh do I have things to share!

So now, off to some Inspiration!!
As we all know, the main congregation spot in a house tends to be the kitchen, whether it is to accommodate the day to day bustle of life or on the flip there is a party happening! If space allows, generally an Island is plunked in the middle.  It may be practical to house items such as a sink and dishwasher.  Although, sometimes it just gets thrown into the design because that is what is expected.  In comes the dining table…. I think it is a cozy and functional alternative!

Dreaming of Blue and White…

Hello 🙂

Well, we had quite the cold stormy weekend here in Atlanta.  This bout of chilly weather has created wishes for sunny skies and the sea! I think it’s time for me to get a vacation on my schedule, it probably won’t be Greece, but maybe someday! For now, I’ll be dreaming away ….

I came across this great quote this weekend, which I loved and thought I would leave you with it….

A designer is a planner with an aesthetic sense. — Bruno Munari
