New Blog Design.....the perfect fit

I've wanted a new look for my blog for awhile - a blog that felt more like me. A couple of days ago I contacted the Lovely Erika Ward of Erika Ward Interiors & Blu Label Bungalow (her design blog) after seeing recent her recent re-dos of blogs I enjoy reading { Get it Girl Style & Home to Three Duncan Boys }. Anyways, I stopped thinking about contacting her and finally did. Let me tell you I'm super happy I did!

Be sure and stop by Erika's blog

When I 1st looked at my blog after her re-design, It felt like the perfect pair of shoes! The new blog design is the perfect fit for me! I can't say enough about Erika, she truly captured the feeling I wanted my blog to be: fun & fresh with a little modern whismy. Another plus is, she's so easy and chill to work with! So if you’re on the fence about a blog facelift & or need her expertise on re-desinging a room in your home, I say do it! Again it's like finding the perfect pair of shoes made custom for you.......

I Heart White Kitchens

Like many people, I've been lusting over a white kitchen for quite sometime. Here's a few pictures of white kitchens that have my heart! Later this week I'll be sharing my own kitchen, which is very scary and my plans to make it into a lovely place {and of course on a budget} it all starts with inspiring spaces....

What I like/love  about kitchen # 1

I love the dark hard wood flooring and the glass, white subway tile and the nice large window

What I like/love about Kitchen # 2

All the glass! The double windows, the vessel sink Ooh La La

What I like/love about Kitchen # 3

I love the school house pendant light! The bead board ceiling, so pretty & the open shelves & blue lower cabinets - nice

What I like/love about Kitchen # 4

Again, I like the open shelves and the dark color in the cabinets -very unexpected! Of course the cabinets are to die for and I really like the butlers pantry.

What I like/love about kitchen # 5

The wall color really stands out to me, it looks like wall paper. I'm also digging the pendant lighting and UM-amazing kitchen island.

What's your favorite kitchen above? I personally love kitchen # 1 - its so fresh just the face lift my kitchen needs. For those of you that painted/built a white kitchen { thinking about going white/dreaming of white}did you opt for dark or light counter tops? I'm so on the fence about dark vs. light counters....
