Thanksgiving is here literally tomorrow. When the heck did that happen? Priorities? Setting a bar and making pie. Oh wait, giving thanks. Obviously that comes first. Then secondly the bar and pie (choose your own order .... 🤣 )
What usually is a starting point for me becomes glassware. I may have too many sets of my own (we all have our problems people ... ) but entertaining is a great opportunity to bust them all out.
Here on this throwback #farmhousefixer project we shopped local at @cleodglassworks for these amber stunners that just so happened to work with the clients vintage lamps. However you entertain here's my tip - find the pieces of the holiday that makes you happy and lean into them. I love setting a bar or a table, so I find joy in that and not all the other parts I don't love.
On that note - off to start that pie! May you have a warm wondering Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love!

Copper copper copper. I had a bee in my bonnet about integrating copper. It all started from the pot rack idea, practical art. Then it gave me something to hunt for and I do love a good hunt. I look through this past project photos and rather than just see the design that came together I see the stories of how some of these elements came together.
I see buying a box of random rolling pins I won on an online estate sale having no idea what I was getting until I picked them up, I see a set of nesting bowls I borrowed from a friend @juliajfrost. I see the copper measuring cups and recall the best friends trip to VT when I found them in a cute boutique and recall that whole weekend - just by seeing the measuring cups.
Art is something that I feel people should have that similar mental journey with but I love that I have moments like that with all these little pieces of my Farmhouse Fixer experience.
And the best copper memory - my Dad spending an ENTIRE day polishing copper to help out. 🥰

So the idea of adding a horse to a photo shoot - easy right? I had this strong visual in mind and showing the connection to the farm from the Kitchen helps tell a story. I mean maybe the extra treats in my pocket should have come out 🤣
Swipe right to say hello to our client Corine @cedarwoodfarmevents and her sweet late Brahm ❤️ Thank you both xoxo
This was my first English countryside inspired Kitchen I ever designed. I love that about design. We listened to what homeowners want, we search for inspiration, we work through what is actually possible in an existing layout (and what really isn't ....) and build the design. I freaking love the design process!
