This morning I was lucky to be able to take time off work to sit in on a seminar about design and colour with speakers George Freedman of PTW and Greg Natale. Hearing about their vision, the challenges and seeing their work and the magic - I was inspired and left with my head buzzing and full of ideas. Isn't it wonderful when that happens? Has that happened to you?
There was a lot of colour to be inspired by however I found myself drawn to these kitchens by Greg Natale with their dark wood cabinets, gold hardware and geometric details. It made me think back to when I was choosing my kitchen. I didn't know anything about kitchens. All I knew is that I wanted it to be white but I was clueless about bench tops, splash backs, finishes, materials, tap ware etc so it was a steep learning curve and a fast one because I had little time before moving in.
I love my kitchen, it is very "me" and I also love the warmth, the richness and the detail in these.

ReplyDeleteFor a unique and exotic kitchen backsplash idea, installing glass tiles can be a good option. With the help of reflective and glossy surface of these glass tiles, you can give a splendid and sophisticated look to your kitchen decor. Some of the attractive features of these glass tiles are, non-porous and stain resistant.
