Where Did I Get That?!?! (Made By Girl)

I often get emails from readers asking where I purchased certain items in my home. One of the most frequently asked questions is, 

"where did you get those pendants in your kitchen?!?!?!?" 

I CAN'T BELIEVE that after all this time it didn't occur to me to post this on my blog....duh! So, below I'll name as many things as possible from my kitchen along with their sources in case you're ever wondering!

• Hicks Pendants by Thomas O'Brien available via Circa Lighting. They're actually available in a few different finishes & sizes. (I have these)
• Lucite Bar Stools via Ebay from this vendor.
• Floors are by Provenza Antico Collection in Vintage. The floors are actually eco-friendly/engineered floors. 
• Kitchen hardware was all purchased at Home Depot.
• Counter tops are by Corian in Rain Cloud.
• Backsplash is a relatively inexpensive honed Carrara Marble from HomeDepot.
• Green Apples from Trader Joe's - j/k

MIKASA....Chevron Plates & Mugs (Via Made By Girl)

I've been looking around for mugs lately & came across some on the Honey We're Home Blog. Of course, I had to buy some! I'm thinking of getting the matching set of plates as well. The chevron mugs & accent plates are all from a store many of you know called MIKASA. They have a ton of dinnerware for you to browse through. If you go to their site you'll also notice they're offering 20% OFF as well as FREE SHIPPING on orders over $99! 

You can check out the cool CHEVRON items by going directly to this link. Happy Shopping!!

Sixx Design's Home Kitchen....

I've been watching "9 By Design" on Bravo tv pretty much every Tuesday night since it premiered and I am soooo in love with Cortney & Robert's kitchen! Seriously, they have my dream kitchen, all white, built-in automatic coffee maker, gorgeous wood floors (or are they??) and cool dining table & chairs.  For those of YOU who don't know these two, (rob & cortney), they're the famous husband & wife design team known as Sixx Design. Apartment Therapy's the Kitchn featured their kitchen yesterday & I wanted to share a few of the shots with you.  

Does anyone know where their kitchen floor is from and is it hardwood or eco/engineered???!?!? 

For the interview & the full set of pics go here.

All White DREAM Kitchen....Elle Decor

I CONSTANTLY have dreams of an all white kitchen someday! Here is my list of MUST haves: Carrera marble on a center island, Sub Zero fridge, Thermador range or rangetop, wood floors, a cappuccino station, a built-in wine cooler for guests & amazing recessed & pendant lighting! My inspiration comes from a gallery posted on Elle Decor's site called 'white kitchens' which I ran into yesterday! Enjoy... 

Do you have a dream kitchen?? What does yours look like?

Reader's - Dream Kitchen in Malaysia...

One of my readers, Sonja, sent me these amazing pics of her kitchen! (It's also the kitchen I hope to have one day- modern & all white).  She just moved into this super modern condo in Malaysia with her husband & is now in the process of decorating it to fit her style. Did you notice the unbelievable view & how much light comes in from the floor to ceiling windows in this kitchen??  It must be so peaceful to live up that high. I am now going to be visiting her blog to see the progress of her decor and how it all turns out.

You can visit Sonja's blog, Tied with a Bouw here.

These DIY book covers (below) were made by Sonja.  I really love how they add some color & personality to her sleek & modern kitchen!
