Remember this door?
Well it has a new wreath on it...let me refresh your memory....
this was my friends door all decorated for fall...well now it is sporting a new summer wreath.....Not only is it sporting a new wreath but my friend just redid her kitchen and it is gorgeous...I mean drop dead gorgeous...{reason for the title}......would you like to take a peek inside..thought you would...first we start off down from the driveway into the walkway...her house is a cape cod with two dormers but you can't see them because the tree is in the way of this shot..I'll have to do another post on the outside.
Coming down the walkway to the front door you look to the left at a tranquil waterfall.
When you are sitting here you get to look out at the waterfall....
{sorry about the glare off the windows and tables} click to enlarge photos
this is the built -in Island with Carrera Marble tops you can see where it is in relation to the breakfast nook. It's made out of a exquisite mahogany wood, as is the built in refrigerator.
the kitchen is done in two-tone, I love the contrast of the dark floors with the island and frig and the cream colored cabinets....across from the frig is the Viking Stove...
Nice and handy is the pot spigot to fill up big pots for boiling lobster...ha! Yes..I'm in dreamland, that I am... Also another thing handy in this kitchen is the butcher block built-in next to the stove. In the photo above you can also see the mesh cabinet fronts that her beautiful china peeks out from. A better view of the mesh doors are of the pantry seen below..
Sitting right across from the pantry is this little seating area to watch "The Game" on the big screen TV..
You can see in the top corner the breakfast nook. Before we step into the dining room I want to show you the glass cabinets that flank the other side of the frig. Can you see the gilded gold glasses inside? What..you say you would like a glass of wine? Yep...they have a wine frig to the left of this cabinet. Let me go find the wine opener.
which glass would you like...Ok Now lets go check out the bar if you don't want wine I'm sure I could find some spirits for you..
Now before we leave the kitchen I have to show you my favorite part of this redo..
This house is a three story and the kitchen is on the second story so you feel like you are in a tree-house.
The view above the sink....
now....for my favorite part..the apron front sink....I'm so in love with it..I want to kiss and hug it...I really, really do...
Love the white subway tile and the bridge faucet, here is a closer peek of the sink...
it's a double and it is very deep...again they used Carrera Marble on the counters..
Now moving toward the left we go into the dining room...
you can see beyond the stunning dining room table in that rich dark wood surrounded with leather chairs done in up with upholstery tacks. But let's take a closer look at that sparkly chandelier, shall we?
Right next to the dining room table to warm you up on chilly night is this baby..
{sorry so blurry} isn't this venetian glass mirrow exquistite?
Next to the fireplace there is bank of shelves...
the pretty sea fans and white coral look pretty against the blue backdrop on the shelves. The paint in the dining room is by Dunn Edwards but I'll have to check on and see what color it is.
It’s a Shaw sink .

I'm not sure exactly why but this site is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

Okay, so I had no idea that was your pic and your friends house. I saw it on someone's blog (who knows where)and I thought it said it was a Sarah Richardson designed kitchen and I assumed it was from her website! Do you want me to remove the pic from my blog? I'm happy to. I have to know, how does your friend like having the marble? I'm just dying to have it despite all the dire warnings! Jen
