design plan: kitchen + breakfast room with touches of kelly green

well. HAPPY NEW year!
and, merry christmas. 
i know, i know. i did it again. i took a crazy long break from my blog. but sometimes i just need to disconnect. its good for me. and i don't every want this blog to be a place where i sell you stuff i don't care about, and post a bunch of pictures just to have a post up. 
it's not me.
want to know what IS me?

mixing super affordable stuff with just the right amount of more expensive stuff to get an eclectic, layered room that reflects the personality of whoever lives in the home.

i wanted to start the new year by sharing a few pages for a full room design that i worked on for a friend and client. as with many clients that i work with, my friend is on a budget, and wanted a plan that would allow her to work on the rooms in stages. 
one awesome thing about this client is that she is totally on board for a splurge on designer fabric, which, in my opinion, can quickly elevate a room from "nice" to "fabulous".

here is the plan i came up with for her kitchen and breakfast room:



the floor plan, showing the enlarged island and new cabinetry in the dining area.


i also drew up a very basic model for the new island, which will include a microwave, pull out trash can, seating, and pantry storage.


one of the biggest changes in this space will be the new built-in, which will house a cookbook library, a coffee station, a buffet serving area, and some pull out food trays for the couples beloved pugs.


thanks for hanging in there with me! i know i don't post a ton, but when i do, i hope you find the content meaningful and inspiring.
have a happy, happy monday!

    you had me at the green linen drapes. love that inspiration room. there was a house for sale in our neighborhood who recreated that same dining room and as I looked at the pics each room was a copy of one i'd seen on pinterest....the owner was obviously a blog stalker like me :) if I can find it i'll send you a link.

      isn't is funny how when you are exposed to design, you tend to really NOTICE things...including when someone is doing their town version of a room you have seen before? :)

    Great plan Autumn. Don't worry about not posting much. I love following you because like you said each post is meaningful. I have stopped following many blogs because of too many sponsored posts. Yours is always inspiring and worthwhile!

    I'm working on a kitchen re-do for a client with touches of green too. I think green gray and white is so fresh and current. Happy New Year!

    Please think strongly before you buy a settee..it is so incredibly annoying for people to sit on if someone has to get up or come back and sit down. Go to a store that has a display and try it out with 2 people.. have to move it..sit down together..move it toward table together.. It is so impractical !! Try one before you buy one. It also has huge potential to scratch the floor! DON'T DO IT!!! Looks good in pictures..it ends there!!
