I love this minimal looking chair, it’s by Paola Navone for Gervasoni

And, as cliche as it is I always love photos and prints of silverware.  I also love the minimal look this arangement, it’s from restaurant Panne e Acqua.

Stainless Canisters…

I’m crazy about these canisters from Crate&Barrel.  Leo and I are avid granola eaters in the AM, I love to mix in yogurt and fresh fruit.  We actually make our own granola (much healthier than store-bought), and I’m on the prowl for the perfect container to store it in.

 

Kitchen Pulls…

Kitchen pulls are something that I have never thought about before. There is an amazing variety of different pull and knob options out there. Most are way to decorative for me, so I’m considering something clean and more modern to make the kitchen look less country. Currently the kitchen has really hideous red knobs which I’m dying to replace. The above style is from the Spritz collection from Restoration Hardware.

And this one is from Lowe’s, from their Amerock collection.  I think the product photography makes the Restoration pull an obvious choice.

And here is the Spritz knob, which is also an option for the kitchen.  It would be the most unobtrusive looking option.

The following are some pictures we took while walking through our house inspection. Here is the first room you see upon entering, we are planning on using it as a living room. We are planning on pulling out all of the carpet and giving the room a good coat of paint.

View from the living room into the dining room. We are thinking about exposing the brick in the stairwell.

The kitchen. It’s pretty good to start with but we are hoping to redo it in a much more modern style.

Here is the backyard. It’s really huge and we are super excited about fixing it up and maybe even adding some grass!

Bedroom #1, the green carpet has got to go. This will serve as an office.

fishtown_closet.jpg

Fishtown is know for these tiny little closets, you are supposed to hang your clothes sideways. This closet is one of two in the master bedroom. It’ll make for a good closet for small items.

And here is the biggest project in the house, the master bath. I think the color and the ceiling are the biggest design flaws. Once we fix those elements it will be easier to work through the rest.

Every house in the area has one, the drop ceiling. Luckily the bathroom is the only room in the house to have it. It’s going to be the first thing to go.

Bedroom #3, this here is the last of my intro pictures. We are planning on turning this room into a media room.
