diverse designs.

 well folks...some terrific design pics have caught my eye! enjoy!

i absolutely love this space, minus the rug. i have never seen a kitchen tiled this extensively; it is a nice (although expensive) alternative to wallpaper/paint. you would have to be certain about your choice as it is permanent. i think that the meticulous cabinetry stands out cleanly.

this would be an easy kitchen to entertain from! i love the hanging grid for pans (eliminates a storage challenge) and the row of windows is TO DIE FOR!!. i probably would have chosen a darker stain for the wood cabinets but this design is an odd (but working!) combination of industrial, craftsman, and Scandinavian design. interesting.

i love everything about this space. first, i love that pendant...absolutely brilliant and the subtle interior cutout that is painted the same is a nice touch. the sofa shade is just a bit lighter and the pattern in the rug/sofa are just strong enough to compete with the linear statement of the windows/blinds without competing for the overall attention of the room.

tile floors. red door. stained glass window. coat rack. hanging pendant. everything in this space works to tie old with new and who isn't inspired by the RED DOOR?!

i've always loved the cut of subway tiles but in turquoise???!!! i am literally loving this more than life itself. ha! clean, bright, fresh...absolutely brilliant.

what a great idea: paint the window trim...such a beautiful and understated splash of color...and i can't get enough of the geometric rug and the Morrocan leather ottoman. stunning color combination!

nothing in this photo initially grabs me but then i started looking at the unique cabinetry, mismatched chandeliers, and that table top...i've never seen one like it!

i absolutely love this rustic kitchen. the contrast of whitewashed adobe with raw wood. yes!

what a feminine design!! love the hanging *puffs*...so easy to switch out for season too! the bed/bedding are a little busy.

what a fun way to spice up an office?! i love that the lamp shade is not going to disappear.

what a STUNNING home! love that giant door...i would also like the yard you see in the background...*sigh*
