Guest Picks: Details for a Traditional White Kitchen

I’m finally making time to reestablish my kitchen! Let me paint a picture of the before: no disposal, no dishwasher and a meat locker to get a fridge. It’s safe to say it is time for a change this season. I’ve been dreaming about a all-white kitchen for some time today, so after months of exploring, this ideabook has come to be a photo of the things which I loved, desired and really selected for my dream kitchen. — Shannon from I Really like Your Own Crazy and Poplin & Queen

Gast Architects

This kitchen was such an inspiration through the procedure. I desired an all-white kitchen with dark hardwood floors.

West Elm

Globe Pendant – $99

I proceeded with glass orbs over industrial pendants since the ceilings in my house are lower. They make an impact without taking up as much visual space.

ANN SACKS

Ceramic Basics Capriccio Tile, White Gloss

White subway tile backsplash was a simple choice. It’s clean and affordable.

Imperial Tile & Stone

Carrera White Italian Marble – $5.99

I agonized over using white marble and determined against it. I like wine too much to risk the serious staining.

French Kitchen Marble Paper Towel Holder – $19.95

I added a tiny marble with this towel holder. It remains safely away from spots and is useful.

Conventional Kitchen Countertops

Quartz countertops are a superb alternative for marble.

DuPont

Rain Cloud

I finally landed on Corian’s freshwater. The durability won me over.

Rohl Perrin & Rowe Two-Handle Kitchen Faucet, Polished Nickel – $1,975.88

Conventional fixtures won out since I’ve got big plans to mix in some modern touches with lighting and accessories.

Rohl

Shaws Contemporary Single-Bowl Fireclay Apron Kit Open Sink

For my budget, I had to pick between a gas stove and a fireclay sink. I went with this dreamy sink!

Dash & Albert Rug Company

Catamaran Stripe Indoor-Outdoor Rug, Navy/Ivory – $41

Small indoor/outdoor rugs would be the way to go beneath the sink.

Sister Parish Design

Burmese Fabric

I picked a pleasure Sister Parish fabric to perform a cornice on the window over the sink.

GoingKnobs

Polished Chrome Cup Pull – $15.96

For hardware, I always love the vintage feel and glow of these cup pulls.

Baldwin Hardware

Dominion Knob

I went with these thorough knobs in Baldwin. The excellent thing about using a polished chrome is your consistency. It.

BisonOffice

Dimond Home Perforated Porcelain Dish – $86

This is the quintessential fruit bowl. I can’t wait to fill it with lemons.

Williams-Sonoma

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, Chrome – $349.95

Everybody talks about stainless steel appliances for a reason: They are a kitchen has to.

Red Silicone Spoonula – $6.87

Obviously, I needed a pop of color in the kitchen.

Sister Parish Design

Rectangular Tray, Albert Paprika – $30

I can not have enough trays. Everything appears organized with a tray!

oomph

Palo Alto Lantern, Club Navy – $1,995

Each dining table needs bold lighting. How awesome would a lacquered navy lantern be? I am swooning.

Embossed Numbers 15″ Wall Clock – $69.95

I like the numbers on this clock are somewhat subtle. It reminds me to relax.

Tritter Feefer

M. Dickson Dining Table

This rustic dining table adds charm and warmth to the all-white kitchen.

Serena & Lily

Navy Riviera Armchair – $245

Café seats are family friendly, timeless, and easy to wipe down.

Benjamin Moore

The entire kitchen is bright white with gray bits. There’s no better complement than Benjamin Moore’s Palladian Blue.

Guest Groups: Weave In the Tapestry Trend

Whether woven for a wall hanging, chair, towel or handbag, tapestries are having a trendy moment. Tapestries’ weft and woven roots came to life during the 15th century with skilled Flemish artisans tending the loom, and they have withstood the test of time. Now en fashion again, there are both antique collectables and modern interpretations in the ready. And in a fraction of the price: ” In 1515 the Vatican spent over five times as much for 10 tapestries to line the walls of the Sistine Chapel than Michelangelo was paid three years before because of his ceiling fresco. From the latest kitchen accessories to sculptures, it is possible to find a simple way to integrate some into your home and life. — Lani from Mon Petit Chou Chou

Joel Kelly Design

This sitting area by Joel Kelly Design allows the tapestry glow with neutral colors around it. I don’t usually like a muted palette similar to this, but it allows the tapestry to be the focus — and rightly so.

Bloomingdale’s

‘Gilded Tapestry’ Dinnerware

This Gilded Tapestry place setting by Lenox is a modern take on classic woven patterns. I love the muted tones and earthy colors, which would be a perfect fit for my dining area.

Frédérique Morrel

Venus de Mylo – EUR 5,750

Frédérique Morrel gives tapestry an entire new amazing life. Animal minds, antlers and horns are everywhere in home decoration, but I have not seen anything quite like this. Each hand-crafted piece is just one of a kind — and includes a price tag to match.

French Market Collection

Bron Armchair

The Bron armchair is hand-carved and upholstered in spun wool Aubusson. I scored my own tapestry chair from Skinner Antiques and Auctions this year for a steal.

Barneys New York

Dransfield & Ross Brocade Parrot Pillow – $365

This brocade parrot pillow is a riot of color, flora and fauna. It is guaranteed to fit in any area. I would love to add this to my recently remodeled analysis.

Echoing Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s painting “The Swing”, this classic 1920s French tapestry is an affordable way to hang a classic in your home.

Anthropologie

Tapestry Dish Towels – $24

Tapestry dish towels, times three, in Anthropologie give you a color for each kitchen.

A tapestry in a bathroom? It is definitely one of the last places I would expect to find one, which makes it simply all the better.

Each woven ottoman out of HW Home is unique and created from a one-of-a-kind kilim rug.

ZARA HOME

Oran Throw – $159

This tapestry-inspired throw would be a beautiful addition to a cozy reading corner or couch. It is ideal for snuggling up with my pups.

French Trunk Covered in Antique Paisley Tapestry

I am not typically a fan of modifying antique trunks in their original states, but in this circumstance, I will make an exception. This French trunk covered in a classic paisley tapestry would look beating in the end of a bed or at the entryway.

Suzie-Stanford

Tapestry Chair

Australian programmer Suzie-Stanford (famous for her jewelry collections in Paul Smith) has embarked on a fresh and fantastic project. She’s been collecting discarded tapestries she then snips, sews and magically turns into random, professionally manicured functions of art. C’est magnifique!

Robin King Designs

Lamb Tapestry Tray – $125

This tapestry-inspired tray out of artist Robin King features a tiny lamb. I love the patina and crackle finish. It is rustic, charming and perfect for serving up some tea or even for hanging at a nursery.

Jonathan Adler

J’accuse Pillow, Left – $165

Jonathan Adler’s J’accuse needlepoint pillows are modern and quirky. They don’t strictly interpret classical tapestries, but they are simply too fun to ignore. A pair of them are too ideal on a bed, one for the left and one for your best.

1stdibs

This is antique and ideal for my living room. My husband and I have been on the search for a tapestry for a while, and this one is a wonder.

Frédérique Morrel

Splitting a pair of fans on a tapestry-covered deer is bizarre and fabulous at the exact same time.
