2-Toned Kitchens Great Inspiration Photos

I am loving 2-toned kitchens.  Since my kitchen is due for a repaint, I am really looking around.  I just am not looking forward to the process of repainting my kitchen.  Below are some inspiration kitchens I have been looking at.

Great inspiration.

This kitchen has the grayish green that I have in my kitchen.

If you have not checked out The Letterd Cottage, (photo below) you should, great inspiration from a young couple.  Great kitchen. They have redone their kitchen a couple of times, previously in a black, and now in a 2-toned white and gray.

Probably not going to do red.  I have had a red kitchen.

Thinking about black.  Although I have had black, I truly loved it at the time.

Love the steely gray.

Kitchen below from Sarah Richardson.  Love the yellow, just not right for my house.

My kitchen below.  See, the white on top might really work.  I already have the greenish gray color.  It is Martha Stewart's Bedford Gray.  Have loved the color for years, like 5+.  Totally time for a repaint. 

My poor kitchen has been, white, cream, mint green, black, red, and I have even found traces of purple in the cupboards. 

Ahhhh, inspiration.  Now to find the time.

Sideways Cross Necklace - Tassel Charm Pendant

New Jewelry in my Etsy Store.  Stop by and take a peek. 

I am loving this long Sideways Cross Necklace.  It is 30" long and just slips over your head.

Feeling a little Rachel Zoe.  Slip this tassel on any necklace or bracelet you own.  Also fits European Bead Bracelets.

Who doesn't love a Kokopelli?  It is said that a Kokopelli is a Fertility God.  So chic, sideways.

18" Sideways cross on a circle chain.  Great stand alone necklace, or for layering.

Rose Gold Plated Sideways Butterfly. 

Upcycled multi chain, (curb, rolo, double link) bracelet.

Shameless self promotion.  I know.  Stop by and take a peek. Just click on my Etsy Store Shop Shelby Lynn.  Link on the left.  Have a great day.

Sarah Richardson Holiday Country House

Yes, I know it has been terribly overexposed. However, I like the simplicity of the decorations. This is actually last year's Christmas Decorations, but again, the simplicity is nice. Just a little inspiration. I also loved BH&G's table top trees, which I showed in a previous post. Not feeling Christmasy yet? No worries, put a bowl of ornaments out, or a bowl of scented pine cones. You don't have to decorate to enjoy. I myself and going super simple and easy this year.

Yes, and if you know me you know I love pillows, she has tons.

Make Your Own Shooting Star Holiday Decoration

Must be almost December. I am putting up my shooting star. I saw this in an old Martha Stewart Magazine, and made it last year. The star is from Party City and is about 20". It was about $10, and is covered in silver garland. I added extra silver garland, and some white round LED lights. The tails are about 72" long and are just white string lights. From far away, (couldn't shoot far away with my camera) it really looks like a shooting star and the lights look more clustered. I do like it close up as well.

Don't want to make one? Now they are sold by Grandin Road. They are the Martha Stewart version.

Either way, I love it.

How are you decorating?

Animal Print Couch Aerin Lauder

Aerin Lauder, heir to Estee Lauder, has the most wonderfully fun furniture. Here is a peek.

Loving her animal print couch.

In another room, loving her animal print chairs.

You can see more of her home at:Elle Decor.

Enjoy.

Yay Thanksgiving!!

Gobble Gobble, it is Thanksgiving week. Love this pic below. Wouldn't you love an outside table like that? Looks like it might be in front of the front door. Enjoy.

To-do Image Inspiration

With the weekend fast approaching, I feel like I have not got a thing done this week. Truth is, I did get some Ebay done. So yay. More to do. However, I feel like my DIY to-do list is swallowing me. Maybe this weekend I can cross a thing or two off.

Images to enjoy and think about.

I love tabletop trees. Maybe I should just do a table top tree and skip the big tree. Does this make me a Scrooge?

Pic above, Better Homes and Gardens.

High on my to-do list is to paint-fix-something the Johnny Pole in my family room. Pic below, not mine, just great inspiration.

Animal print. Need I say more.

Having a get together? Clear off a table. Anything can be a bar. Love it.

Love the tray as a bar.

Ok, start planning your weekend to-do list, and it should not totally involve Thanksgiving preparations. Enjoy.
