A Farmhouse Kitchen

This farmhouse kitchen is beautiful, filled with so many out of the ordinary details. Industrial furniture, rustic brick floors and contemporary tiles make up a unique, one of a kind kitchen.

Usually I don't care for dark wood cabinets, but they make this kitchen warm and inviting.

Pantone 2012

These are Pantone's 2012 colors and one of them will be the color of the year. I'm rooting for Tangerine Tango or Grass Green. What do you think?

I know it doesn't really change how I decide on my home's interiors or what paint color I choose for my furniture, it's just fun to see what the experts pick.

Last years honeysuckle was not a color I really cared for at first, but it has started to grow on me and now look at these beautiful pink rooms.
