PINS + UPDATES || NESTING IN THE KITCHEN

I could easily spend hours upon hours browsing dream kitchen furnishings online. and my schedule would allow it, too. though, that would hardly be productive. or healthy. however, I did indulge ( just a little ) this week and this isn't even the bulk of it. mitch informed me a couple of weeks ago that we are about 15 years out from building our dream home. so I guess, for the next 14 years and however some-odd weeks, expect dozens of nesting inspiration boards. it will actually be pretty interesting to look back 15 years from now and compare styles, hopes, dreams. right now, my kitchen dreams consist of a bright white kitchen with beautifully paned windows. of course, I would add color through plates and bowls and goblets. but because the white is so versatile, I can easily switch up colors as I choose.

anthropologie dish towels :: so many eclectic prints and you can mix and match for your own fun, individual collection.
1 || 2 || 3

farmer's market basket :: so appropriate for that sleek, yet rural feel I want to bring into our home.

butter dish(es) :: admittedly, I have a thing for butter dishes. I can't explain it, but I'm always finding various butter crocks that I love. these are merely two of them.

pear salt & pepper shakers :: love them in the gold color, too.

blue mirror glass serving tray :: can't get enough of the reflective quality of this beautiful glass tray. wouldn't it just look so lovely with some succulents on display?

wooden cookery book holder :: I've ruined many a cookbook by placing it on the counter. and since we're all about simplifying one's life around here, there's no better way to start than preserving those beloved cookery books.

whale tail measuring cups :: I love to add some whimsy articles into my home that show personal preference and these are not only unique, but adorable, as well.

multi-colored goblets :: I picture our kitchen cabinets with glass-paned doors chalk full of these gorgeous goblets in all variety of colors so as to reflect all of the beautiful white, natural light.

printed napkins :: bon appetit is something that I love hearing when I go out to restaurants here on the island and these would remind me of the beautiful customs here.

solid, sleek dinnerware :: I love the idea of having multiple sets of inexpensive plates, and then trading out colors and mixing and matching depending on how I'm feeling.

antique inscripted flatware :: by far, some of my favorite flatware I've seen! mitch loves heavy flatware and I love how it still contains a dainty appeal.

there are so many beautiful ways to dress up a kitchen. and I have 14 years and 49 weeks ( give or take ) to dream up mine. what are your favorite kitchen trends, right now?

love, arielle
