Ok guys here I am in Boulder looking at the latest project..... Lawd.....it is going to be quite the challenge! More on that later because on Sunday I went on the Junior League tour of Kitchens.  I only made it to 3 houses....and I didn't get a ton of pictures....but I was definitely smitten with one of them. You know I love a white kitchen....well really because it's classic and doesn't get dated as quickly....but this space was pretty awesome:) The backsplash was perfection.... Loved the simple sconces. The counter tops were marble and the cabinets were painted a taupeish/gray. The hardware looked like a hammered antique pewter. Loved the beams and these light fixtures. This was on both sides as you walked from the family room into the kitchen....gah! This curved cabinet detail....I remember I did read that the barstools came from Wayfair! I found these pictures online from a newspaper article.  Designed ...

Y'all I have a little news to share today.  I was afraid to speak about it cause....I wanted to make sure I wouldn't end up with egg on my face....literally..... because with WW you eat a lot of eggs and I'm already sick of them but that is a whole other story.  Back in February I flew up to NYC with Michael Ladisic [Ladisic Fine Homes] to meet with the team at House Beautiful..... Yes..... let that sink in a minute. You know...just a  National Design Magazine Instead of doing a Kitchen of the Year they are doing a whole house and picked Atlanta and then Michael to build it.  And he just kind of slid me in. I'm such a goober....I didn't see anyone else taking pictures of their name tag:) We had a tour of the Hearst Building..... We were at the very top here.... Agenda.... It was an epic day for sure....there we were..... and across the table...... Sophie Donelson [the editor] and her team.   Lord I...
