This kitchen and bath featured in At Home in Arkansas leave me no other choice than to write Tobi Fairley, the interior designer responsible for such loveliness, an open letter...
Dearest Tobi....
You are an incredibly talented designer. (duh!) This kitchen and bath are beyond lovely and have me singing the blues. Your clients have just received my vote for kitchen and bath re-design of the year. Of course, someone needs to create a contest first where I can cast my vote for your kitchen and bath design. I would love to see the 80's ish before pictures. I like to see the transformation of spaces. I especially like the architectural details in the ceiling, the soft rubbed finishes on the cabinetry, the lighting (Oh my!) and that comfy upholstered banquette. I love the rich warm brown tones in the refrigerator cabinetry, baskets and soft furnishings around the table. They ground the kitchen and give it depth and character. The natural light streaming in that huge double window over the sink brings even more loveliness into this space. The window treatments are so simple and sophisticated all at the same time. I would love to invite myself to coffee one day and sit at the kitchen table with you and your clients and gush about all the things that make this space so perfect.
You're amazing!
Fondly,
A Blushing Blue Admirer
And here's the bath....

ReplyDeleteHi Allison,
ReplyDeleteThis teal-ish blue is turning out to be one of my favourite colors this season!! and you've just given me another reason to love it...
The sunshine streaming into the fresh kitchen is gorgeous. Love how all the little elements come together to form this vision of a cooking space :)
I am sure someone out there whoever owns this space enjoys it very much.
Thank you for sharing.

Totally agree - Tobi is an incredibly talented designer. And incredibly nice as well - met her at Blogfest - very friendly and outgoing!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely am in love with the entire home! Such a happy, cozy and homey feel to every space.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have ANY idea where that lantern pendant over the kitchen table comes from???
I love the letter as well....it states everything perfectly!! I just told my husband last night that I MUST meet Tobi Fairley!!!! It's one of the things that would make my dreams come true!!! I don't like to use "Bucket List" because to me it sounds like you are old or dying....either way...meeting her is a MUST for me!!! Thanks for posting this! would love a visit from you on either of our blogs!!!! Sincerely, Carolyn Bradford
