A New Twist On An Old Favorite

Many of you may remember our post several months ago about round dining room tables.  After selecting the right table we installed it in the dining room at the Villa in Texas, which we just completed.

A Cast Iron Affair

What’s the recipe for a fabulous kitchen renovation that is unique?

The ingredients: An an out-dated tiny kitchen space, a collection of cast iron skillets, and a little design help.

The inspiration: Displaying cooking utensils has been done for a long time!  At the palace kitchen at Chenonceaux in France, which I just visited, copper ladles and pots were displayed on the walls.  Today the display is still relevant as a useful and decorative collection.

My client is not alone in her love of cast iron cookware. The professional golfer, Davis Love, also enjoys collecting them.  The story of his passion with vintage cookware was featured in the summer issue of Garden and Gun!

Taking a Break

Summertime in our part of the world usually means heading to the beach.  It’s family time – a place to relax and recharge. Beach time for me is Book Club reading, sleeping late, long walks and cocktails on the beach.  Every night is game night with the boys and the cooking seems endless!
