DREAM



robert grace architecture - Dinesen GrandOak T 30 W 350 L 5-7 m
Here is another example of white worktop on a wooden kitchen with modern lines. Love the extractor being plastered in the wall... not sure if that give that country feel or if it's only the stone wall... 
Need to look at this for a while..

my favourite kitchen of the week!

I'm having a bit of a crush for modern wooden furniture at the moment. I definitely love this kitchen!
I was looking for an image of a modern oak kitchen with a stone white worktop for ages!
not sure about the brand.... can't read the little writing.
but this is an amazing wooden kitchen

Mugs, organize them!

I'm sure you have enough mugs to do this... and if you don't you finally have an excuse to buy more!

mugs' wall organisation

RetrĂ³ tiles cheap and chic

The purpose is to have them looking like they have always been there... so they wouldn't suit a fully fitted modern kitchen...  but they absolutely adore matching up with stainless steel professional free standing kitchens.

the splash back is covered in retrĂ³ style rectangular tiles
I love the white marble shelves and the brackets.. pots jars and plates are ikea

notice the bare bulbs coming down from the ceilings...


Professional look for this wooden kitchen.
The splash back is covered in small squared vintage tiles.


Laboratory of happiness

This kitchen looks like a very special place...  make me feel like experimenting with food and colours...  It is such a happy place, a creative laboratory.
Looks like lots of the things are from ikea, the stainless steel free standing unit, the tools hanger, the lack shelves, the baskets...

Opening my Scrapbook

I have a huge folder full of cut-outs from interior design magazines etc, that I've collected over the years.
This is one of them, they are images from an article I read on MarieClaire Maison years ago about a charming bed and breakfast in Brussels: Chambre en Ville.
It's not the style I would normally go for, but some of the objects the owner selected are so particular, and the cupboard in the kitchen is just amazing.

The owner's crockery collection is well displayed
in the white deal made to measure Ă©tagère.
The professional  stainless steel tap stands out as it is the only modern piece visible in the room.
Note the colours of the chairs, they add a little colour lift but also blend in with the rest of the oom
The table is surrounded by chairs of different styles
Note the antique ladder beside the shelving.
One of the bedrooms and another lovely neutral paint on the walls

I love the antique console table give a romantic touch to the bathroom


Again the chairs around this table
have all been painted in different pastel colours


I love the details of the key rings

Another one of the bedroom painted in a colour that reminds me of
the "skylight" shade made by Farrow and Ball



Old barn - Total make over


Here is a great project by Maxwan Architects
It is an old barn on a beautiful site on the river Linge in the city of Geldermalsen.
I love the large piece of furniture that also serves as kitchen, storage, stairs and library all at once.


The old barn restored

This staircase is also used as a library, reading area and s part of the kitchen presses

Free standing kitchens

More and more I'm interested in freestanding kitchens, because the way the compromise between functionality and warmth.
In general I love kitchens that make you feel at home, where you can be surrounded by your things, and when you come back after a day of work even looking at the morning cereals is kind of reassuring, on the other side I'm quite demanding in terms of functionality and storage space and my ideal is a professional kitchen, easy to clean and comfortable to use.
Freestanding kitchens matching materials like stainless steel and wood are a really good solution.
Here is my choice:


Freestanding teak and stainless steel kitchen by Riva 1920
Teak wood sink for this freestanding kitchen by Riva 1920
Outdoor kitchen - maybe a bit of a push for a kitchen as beautiful as this
again by Riva 1920

Hansen - superb danish kitchen design -
 here you see an example made in maple wood.
