for me and my family, the kitchen is the one room in the house where we usually end up when we’re all together. for us, hanging out usually revolves around food, so we find ourselves in the kitchen either eating, cooking, or playing games at the kitchen table. because of this, i value kitchens very much, and would almost venture to say they are the most important room of the house. i am excited about being home for the holidays with my family, and we will inevitably spend most of our time in the kitchen, trying out new recipes and eating delicious meals together. here are some beautiful kitchens that inspire me!
this outdoor kitchen in california encourages relaxation
cooking at this stove with the natural feel from the stone would be so inspirational!
this is pure genius! i can't even imagine how much time and messes this would save!
i would love to sit at this counter while cooking, talking, hanging out, etc. a great use of space!

there are countless reasons to add a mirror to virtually any room in your house! in a previous post on brightening up a space, i talked about how mirrors can make a room look bigger and lighten up a dark room. here are some more rooms with mirrors to inspire you & further convince you to add mirrors to your home!
here is a mirror that looks like a window. the Grand Palais Mirror from Ballard Designs is a 24×48″ rectangle that can be paired with another to create a square “window” or topped with an arched version to create a Palladian “window”. Each mirror is $189.
designed by storm interiors, via desire to inspire.
i love these round wood mirrors by bobo intriguing objects!
see how this mirror makes the dining room light up? and it beautifully reflects the chandelier & the windows across from it. image via traditional home.
