Me & Mrs Jones

On this rainy Monday, my dear friend, Mrs.. Jones helped me design our future kitchen.

There are a couple kitchens I love but just like in Project Runway…

there can only be “ffvONE” winner. (Said with Heidi’s German accent)

Could it be Kitchen #1?? (Courtesy of House Beautiful)

Designed by Windsor Smith…for herself. Blessed lady.

A true gutsy designer who painted these cabinets a very deep blue.

Not fearing resale values, trends or HERSELF.

 

It is an amazing kitchen!

Love, love that center table dining-island.

C’mon who designs a kitchen like this?? In navy??

A homeowner with confidence and “a point of view” (Notice how Heidi, Tim, Nina, & Michael always tell the designers that they need to have “a point of view”?)

Windsor Smith also designed this fabulous dual- purpose foyer on October’s cover of Veranda.

Can you imagine that this foyer serves as a “dining room” when it is needed.

Pure genius idea Windsor! You are a visionary like Mrs. Jones.

Could it be Kitchen #2?? (Courtesy Cote De Texas blog)

Designed by Sally Wheat for herself. Another blessed lady.

I love the color, simplicity and marble counters!

It is one of the most blogged about kitchens ever.

Many have replicated it because it rocks…will I?

Could it be Kitchen #3?? (Courtesy Cote De Texas blog)

Designed by Houstonian designer: Joni of Cote De Texas blog for herself.

It is like Sally’s kitchen.

Adore the marble thick window ledge and French vibe.

Cote De Texas is one of the best blogs IF you have never visited it before…

you shouldn’t be reading my blog! You need to read hers!!

Could it be Kitchen #4?? (Courtesy My Nottinghill blog)

Designed by Aussie designer John Jacob Zwiegelaar for himself.  Cute and blessed boy.

The contrasting white & black checkerboard floors, the dark cabinetry and dark marble counters take my breath away.

Again, I like the table used as an island and seating.

I could happily live in any of these kitchens…but which one is my DREAM kitchen??

Up until today…I did not have the GUTS to do what I wanted but Mrs. Jones convinced me and helped me realize that…

“I just need to do it and not look back”

AND

That if I’M NOT going to do it…

SHE will!!

Just kidding!

However, that was a huge confirmation because Mrs. Jones should have her own HGTV show!!

Me & Mrs. Mrs. Jones…we’ve got a thing going on…

Stayed Tuned for our BIG decision :)
