A Fabulous Feature: Jones Design Company

Hello my darlings!

It has been a little while since my last post.  Lots going on these days.  I'm

sure I'm not alone ; )

I've missed you so.

Anyhoo...

I came across the most spectacular blog!  Not only is the blog itself gorgeous but

the designs that come from this creative duo are superb!  Hence the blog name...

Emily and Ryan are design geniuses! 

They have an amazing kitchen remodel that I just HAD to feature.

Now as many of you already know, I have a weakness for kitchens. 

I myself, am in the planning process for a kitchen makeover.

Boy have these two inspired me.

Take a look...

Here is a before picture.

This is a photo from before they actually moved in.

Then they had this...

Which is still nice.  I loved the huge chalkboard and dining set in rattan.

After some creative planning and hard work they came up with this...

Oh my heavens!!

I absolutely love the way it came out!  Just look at those shelves!

They extended the island.  What a great idea!

They built the cutest bench that fits the entire theme beautifully.

Each little detail is perfect.

Sigh...a farmhouse sink.

It's just remarkable and worth an honorable mention.

So one more time...

Before

and after

 Great job you two!

Please stop by their wonderful blog Jones Design Company

and say hi. 

sigh....

Gulp...

I found this kitchen.

It's perfection.

Enough said.

Yum!

A chandelier

 

One of the first things that I'll have to do in my home

is change out my chandeliers.

They resemble something like this...

YIKES!

I know...

and it sits right over my formal dining room.  Ughh!

I also have something on a similar but smaller scale hanging over the entrance.

So starts the deliberation.

What kind do I get and what color do I go with?

The options are endless.

Now I have heard of picking one up on ebay, 

but Pottery Barn and Lamps Plus (Kathy Ireland Edition) seem to have nice choices.

For instance...

Do I go with pendant lights instead of a chandi?

I do know that a pendant will most definitely go over the entrance.

 I could go with the highly coveted version...

The finish will be something to decide on as well.

pewter?  Black metal?  Or white?

I like the idea of something different too.

Like this whimsy little piece.

It's growing on me.

What I do know is I'll be going with the light bulb version.

No candle lighting for this gal.
