Look Linger Love

My mind has been overtaken by our new house renovation. There are just so many choices that need to be made, and quickly. I had forgotten how stressful it can get. I love looking for home things, as you know, but when it comes to making the definite-no-going-back-decisions? Ack. But it has to be done. Today I’m sharing some of the definite-no-going-back-decisions for our kitchen and dining space! The kitchen flows into the dining space so it all needs to live comfortably together.

The La Cornue Range is the first thing that we ordered for our kitchen. She basically set the tone for the design since you have to start somewhere! We’ve ordered Urban Electric lighting (made here in Charleston!) in the kitchen to go over the island and for task lighting along the perimeter walls. The round rattan pendants will go over our dining table. I love our upholstered dining chairs and they’re definitely worth waiting for (currently estimating a December delivery!!) they just look so comfy and chic. I still need to find our counter stools but I do really love these new ones holy moly they’re gorgeous. The marble checkerboard floor (this is similar) will be in the dining area to make that space feel a little more accentuated. In the kitchen our cabinetry will be a mix of white and wood tones with lots of open shelving to open up the space. I foresee plenty of raffia wrapped glasses on these shelves. Oh and we chose the Waterstone Faucet for our sink, it’s a pull down and is a pretty unlacquered polished brass. So overall the feel is light and bright with some warm wood tones and shades of blue!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was beautiful here in Charleston and I got to catch up with some friends I hadn’t seen in a while and it was lovely and much needed. We also started packing up our house which was a whole lot let fun. It’s been nearly ten years since I last moved and you forget what a drag that part is. But since I have home things on the mind today I’m sharing some new finds for around the house, everything from small little accessories to larger impactful items!

blue stackable pan set, lemon tray, bamboo placemat,

upholstered rattan bench, green hand blown glass, blue side table,

white storage baskets, rattan storage box, , leather bar stool,

pink rug, paper block, lavender grow kit, yellow painting, self watering planter

Saban’s hand blown glasses are my dream glasses for the new house. I think I need that self watering planter – so smart! That blue pan up top is great for space saving – it comes with the non-stick fry and saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, spatula, and spoon rest! And that upholstered rattan bench is also on my new house wish list!

I’ve been spending a lot of time online browsing and wishlisting for our new house. You can go ahead and add all of Dear Keaton’s new arrivals to my wishlist, along with everything seen here below.

blue patterned pillows, pink tennis balls print, rattan chair,

upholstered bench, stripe outdoor pouf, cane bed frame,

abstract watercolor art, double table lamp, woven basket,

woven pendant light, 6 drawer dresser, pink tennis balls print

I’m a big big big fan of SJ Johnson’s new tennis portrait series. They’re so fun with the mid air bounce and pink and blue color. I’ve been looking for a wide dresser for our bedroom and am really loving this one. That upholstered bench with the built in tabletop is so cool – and the table moves along the length of the bench so you can position it where you like it!! And the cane bed frame – holy cow isn’t it gorgeous??
