Interior: Marble Kitchen

Nothing like a beautiful marble kitchen to inspire you to cook every meal from scratch. I love cooking and currently am residing in an old Victorian home with a tiny galley kitchen where I can barely open the oven cause it'll hit some cabinets. So, clearly I spend a lot of times fawning over kitchens on Pinterest. I stumbled upon this lovely one with an incredible amount of marble. Love how it carries through to the sink, back splash, and a shelf for displaying some elegant glass pieces and all your cookbooks. Somewhat masculine but with refined feminine touches - this is kind of a dream kitchen for a couple. I'm sure both parties would be happy cooking in here.

ONE: Decorating with a dark glass vase for an elegant look. I'd add some white flowers to give some life to the kitchen. These come in various styles and sizes so adding a couple more for a nice collection to display on the shelf.

TWO: Can't have a kitchen without a wine decanter for those lovely dinner parties you'll be throwing.

THREE: My mom just recently bought this Plenty More Cookbook and I'm so tempted to 'borrow' it from her, long term....really great recipes and beautiful images to go along with. You'll want to cook every single meal from this book.

FOUR: Nothing like a great solid wood cutting board for chopping up all those fresh veggies.

FIVE: Love this cute little Hand-carved Jam Spatula.

SIX: A simple glass pitcher for serving up some delicious drinks or water and fresh lemon. Nice to mix it up and use it as a vase as well.

SEVEN: Love the idea of a fine art piece hanging in the kitchen. A simple still life to add to the most important room in the house.

Found a beautiful pastel color story over on Smitten Studio the other day. The lovely creator behind the blog, Sarah Samuel recently visited Miami and took some incredible photographs on South Beach. They turned into a wonderful pastel color story which is making me crave a trip to the beach.

I'm suddenly extremely anxious to get to a beach or just travel in general so hopefully I get a chance to do that this summer. Also, how much do you want to be lounging in one of this pink beach chairs right now? Excuse me while I daydream for a second....le sigh.

Quick side note: I try my best to respond to each and every comment I get on here (bare with me if it takes more than a couple days!), since I haven't been on Squarespace for very long, I'm still learning the ins and outs of this blogging platform. That being said - do you guys get a notification or something when I respond to your comments or do you just check back to see if I wrote back? I'm really curious so if you all could help me with this feedback that would be great! I want to be able to make my website as accessible as possible for yours and my sake.

Thanks bunches!
