I Dream of Kitchen

All photos via, via, and via.

My life has been consumed lately,

with all things kitchen-related.

We officially started our remodel last week,

and it. is. exhausting!

To say the least.

These are a few images that have been sitting pretty in my pinspiration board for the past year...

We're going with neutral tones to achieve a clean and spacious effect.

I cook A LOT, so practicality and efficiency was a big part of our design.

And although this project is seriously testing my patience,

I'm also enjoying being actively involved in every step of the process.

The hubby and I personally picked out every single detail of this kitchen,

and I cannot WAIT to see the finished product!

I'll be sure to post some before and after photos as soon as it's all done,

but in the meantime,

I have to get back to the construction zone.

Home Alone

The husband and I have been making some pretty big moves lately. 

As in... 

buying a house.

Yep.

Yours truly is now a proud home owner.

How you like them apples?!

Three bedrooms, two baths,

in central San Diego. 

With a yard. 

And a garage! 

Now here comes the hard part... 

decorating. 

Lucky for me, 

one of my best friends happens to own her very own design firm.

Etherian Home - check it out, they do amazing work.

I only hang with the best. 

She's going to help me turn our little crib into a French Chateau. 

Hence the photos above.

That's the inspiration. 

Below are some pieces that will help me turn inspiration into reality,

oh, and my bank account into a very big negative amount.
