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!

i had the opportunity to travel to two different beaches this past week – amelia island and hilton head island. being at the beach got me so excited about all of the fun ways to decorate a beach house. there are a vast amount of ways to incorporate colors and give a cute beach theme without using the typical colors and “seashell designs” that one would normally find. here is some inspiration for beach decorating that i found:

i love these blue coral pillows & this driftwood mirror from seaside inspired!

everything about this kitchen works together to give a fun, bright, & unique design.

the “rustic-ness” of this bathroom is perfect for the beach!

how cute is this bathroom?

the blues & greens in this bedding from anthro scream “put me at the beach!”
