My Favorite Kitchen/Living Room

This is in IKEA and everytime I walk past it I love it even more. Here's why:


  • I love how clean white cabinets look with silver appliances. It's modern and homey at the same time.
  • The pale green paint on the walls reminds me of the ocean and makes me feel calm and relaxed.
  • I really love the Nautical/New England look. The blue and white striped sofas and chairs make me think this could be a beach house in Rhode Island with a lighthouse out the window.
  • I love the countertops-- stone? granite? marble? whatever it is I like how solid and classy it looks.
  • Open wall-to-wall bookshelves look so intellectual. I like seeing rows and rows of books.
  • You can't really tell from the pictures, but the coffee table is awesome. It's glass on top and it has this drawer that slides out underneath. So you can put things you want to display inside the drawer and you can see them through the glass on top but they're protected so kids and pets and things can't get to them. Smart.
  • The lighting is so modern but soft and inviting at the same time.

I'm sure these aren't all my reasons, but they're what I can think of right now. I really like this space. Maybe someday I can afford to put it in my house.
