Sultry September

September may have arrived, but here in the American South, it's hot as blue blazes!

I don't want to rush any season, so I'm still savoring, ah hem, the sweltering weather.

For those of you who are feeling that crisp in the air, how about some green velvet?

We can always count on Bunny Williams' interiors to make us feel warm and cozy!

Kitchens: Heart of the Home

note:  the granite sink, warmth of the wood and the chicken wire.  

What do you think of the exposed shelves and the baskets?  

Dear readers, for the past few weeks I have found myself overwhelmed with a kitchen renovation project.  I do believe that the end is in sight.  The cabinetry is under construction as we speak.  

I hope you enjoy some of these kitchen images.  I have had them in an inspiration file for some time now.  I'm sorry that I did not make a note of who did the design work or the photography.  If you know, please leave me a message.  I'd like to give them credit.  

note:  the contrasting cabinet finishes and the beamed ceiling  

note:  beamed ceiling and chandelier, also note the fountain in the background.

This is one of my all time favorites.  It was designed by Bunny Williams.  

note:  wide planked floors

note:  the hood and the sunlight

note:  the very light flooring, high contrast, firewood and brick

What does your dream kitchen contain--

other than Paula Deen, Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson or Anthony Bourdain?
