That's not always practical, so I decided to come up with a few very simple and relatively inexpensive ways to create big impact, with little effort, and give my kitchen a whole new look and feel.
Last year I incorporated copper and rose gold in my exterior and patio decor. I really liked the way it all came together so I decided to head in the same direction inside.
I invested in a new knife set, two candles, new measuring cups and spoons and a few other details. It really was that simple... swap out the old chipped knife block, put a candle on the counter and in the marble condiment tray I have, then stand back and appreciate. It couldn't be easier.
Sometimes a simple switch up is all it takes to make everything feel new. I'm pretty happy.

Thanks Ryan!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! It makes a huge difference. I'm getting ready to update my kitchen using white with gray and wood accents so it's great to know that with very little expense I can really change the look. Love all your choices but that black and gold knife set is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove it all! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha love it! Your kitchen looks so beautiful. Love the marble backsplash.
ReplyDeleteFor the last few months, every picture I've seen on instagram, every pinterest link and numerous friends have led me to your design blog. Now that I (FINALLY!) have a home of my own, I cannot wait to start incorporating your ideas and creating a few projects of my own. Love, love, love, your design style & really admire your outlook on everything. Can't wait to see what else is in store.
