A Ladurée-Inspired Kitchen

I'm loving this little kitchen remodel I stumbled across on the One Kings Lane blog the other day, and not just because I have a soft spot for macarons! The lucky owner of this petite cuisine dreamed of turning her 1970's blah kitchen into a sanctuary that felt as beautiful and luxurious as one of her favorite places-- the Ladurée in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. To recreate the feeling of Paris, she had the cabinet color custom-mixed to perfectly match the famous French bakery's trademark mint green colored boxes and tins. I've honestly been struggling to decorate our house lately, so this simple concept totally inspired me! Why not reflect on your favorite places from your travels and bring them home?

Interior Design Bingo -- Day 7: Kitchen

To represent kitchen, for the Interior Design Bingo photo challenge, I photographed my robin's egg blue Kitchenaid mixer.  Most of our kitchen accessories are this shade, including our Caribbean blue Le Creuset set and an abundance of Martha Stewart for Macy's accessories.  I hate the way this color looks in our current terra cotta colored kitchen. My vision for our future kitchen is all white, black, wood, and stainless, with these blue items as the pop of color. My dream kitchen is a combination of retro and European country.
