Love. Reminds me of the apartment of Ines de la Fressange:

There's healthy, happy addiction............ and then there's home dysmorphic disorder.

It's definitely my drug of choice.

For some reason, the little tree stumps (especially the one with the baby shoes sitting on top), with the crocheted seat cushions, made my day.

Two things:

1. I'm another one who likes my own cooking! But:

a. I agree that sometimes I am kinda done with it by the time it gets to the table, and

b. when someone serves something that I don't make, and it tastes really awesome, like when I go to someone's house for lunch (a meal I usually don't make a big deal of when I'm by myself) and that person happens to be a great cook, there's nothing better.

2. I also love the above photo! That woman and that kitchen are fabulous! Who is she???

Only if it comes with Dramamine.

Very cool. Feminine, without being overly girly. Shows a lot of personality.

LOVE!!!!

Honestly, some people are only happy when they have something negative to say. The brick on my home has been painted (and of course repainted) since the 1920s. It's FINE. I laugh when I hear, "How can you paint over brick?" Or what about the people who say, "It's a crime to paint wood!"? Brick? Wood? We're not talking diamonds, folks!

Go ahead and mismatch. It'll actually look better. Make sure the new piece is painted the exact same white as the trim. It will look like a piece of cabinetry that's meant to go with the adjoining room rather than the kitchen (more like furniture than kitchen cabinets). I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Funky and cool with, dare I say, sort of a touch of grandma? I kinda love it!

Awesome. I wish my kids were still little enough to sit in a cooler. :)

Beyond fabulous. Every square inch. And it's all so lovely and personal. What a talented lady. No matter how much money you have, you could never achieve this look with an interior decorator.

I don't have the scale or the weird whisk, but that's only because I'm not big on baking. Otherwise, I have everything! I'd also add food processor and heavy duty blender to that list. I love my Cuisinart and Vitamix. And I recently got a really, really high quality knife. It honestly changed my life and made me want to cook three meals a day!

Purple and brown: yes. Purple and gray: no. Too stark and 1980s.

Call me a bad mom, but you couldn't pay me to go to an indoor water park.
