Chic and Colorful Breakfast Room

Six years ago I met the sweetest, most thoughtful and beautiful friend.  Although we’d lived just down the road from one another for years, it took us both having little girls to finally meet.  Kristina was there for me so much during one of the hardest seasons of my life that I wrote about on Tuesday and I am so thankful to call her one of my very best friends.  In 2011 when I began creating my designs for Addison’s Wonderland, I blew up her phone almost daily for opinions and ideas on prototypes.  So now when Kristina invites me over for lunch and design time, I am there.

Several months ago I posted about the progress on her breakfast room remodel in “Breakfast at Kristina’s”.  Although Kristina and I are kindred design spirits who share a love for color, pattern and a touch of glam, she has trouble pulling together a look she loves and enlisted my help creating her dream room.  Since her formal dining space now functions as a playroom for her two girls, she wanted to create a more formal breakfast room that is beautiful yet still functional and fun.

BEFORE

Breakfast Room 1

Incorporating color in the furnishings and accessories was numero uno on the list so I chose a neutral yet eye catching striped wall for the space.  The horizontal stripes visually expand the space and define the area since it is all one big open space.  For the stripes, I chose Simple White and Functional Gray by Sherwin Williams.  Although Kristina wanted true gray walls throughout her home, I chose a warmer gray to coordinate with her oak cabinets and flooring.  A cool gray paint choice would have brought out the orange in the wood and the wood would bring out the blue/purple undertones in the cool gray walls.

Once the paint was complete, we did a little online and HomeGoods shopping to furnish and accessorize the space.  Although Kristina mentioned purchasing a new table or painting her exisiting one, I actually felt that the warm wood tones and rustic/masculine details were the perfect compliment to the more glam/feminine touches.  With that savings, she was able to splurge on this absolutely breathtaking chandelier!  See below for product sources and more of her home tour…

 Several months prior to her breakfast room re-design, Kristina wanted to have almost the entire inside of her home re-painted to give it a more fresh, updated look.  The walls were a warm taupe and she wanted a more gray/white look with pops of fun color.  That would be my specialty!

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
