Kitchen Crush:: Farmhouse Chic

This month's decorating magazines are really killing it - from Lonny, Elle Decor to House Beautiful, I really want to move into each of the interiors featured.  This kitchen really caught my eye, unexpectedly though - typically I prefer an all-white kitchen with a lot of marble, but there is something about this one that I really loved.  I love this shade of blue and how the wallpaper really finishes it off.  I also love the 'farmhouse chic' quality of the sink, faucet and pot rack.  Here are just a few of my ideas to create this look in your own kitchen.  Continue for more...

Creating a Rustic Kitchen

My decorating style typically lends itself towards rustic glamour; however sometimes the rustic side can appeal to me more, especially when it comes to the kitchen.  Perhaps it is my love of baking pies or Tuscany, but something about a rustic kitchen creates a real sense of home. The elements that I love to include are wood, chalkboard surfaces, burnished metal, wrought iron and of course mason jars and luckily, Terrain (from the parent company Anthropologie) is fully stocked with these types of items.  Below are some of my favorite picks for the kitchen.  If you haven't checked out their website, I really urge you to - you will be hooked!
