MINT & MARBLE - HOW TO MAKE A SMALL MODERN KITCHEN WORK!

I like this small kitchen with its flat front ever so slightly mint colored cabinets and the marble slab backsplash and counters. This small space works.

A one wall kitchen that is oh so small but feels light and airy and roomy. The key is the light colored cabinets, the white washed wood floors and the clean lines used throughout. There is no busy mosaic tile backsplash here. There is also an absence of drawerrs and doors with pulls and knobs and recessed panels. Clean simple.

I like the touch flavor with the gold or brass colored faucet on the sink. Very nice contrast.

To add a bit of personality, the eat in kitchen boasts a long table with mish mosh mix of chairs including some bentwood cafe style chairs and a host chair painted in a dark green to compliment the cabinets.  The round pendant light in chrome mirror finish adds light with its reflective surface too.

I like. Take a look.

What do you think of this small kitchen? Too minimalist for you or just right?

Happy Friday!

THIS OR THAT: TWO SMALL KITCHENS MAKE BIG DESIGN STATEMENTS!

Two well designed small kitchens from one interior designer. Here I bring you two kitchens from talented Australian designer Greg Natale. Both kitchens are making bold design statements in relatively small footprints.

Would like to know which of these kitchens you prefer in today's THIS OR THAT!

***

KITCHEN 1 (below) - A moody open kitchen with dark cabinets with diamond shaped molding details, light rustic looking floors, a very bold trellis pattern black and white backsplash and glossy black counters.

KITCHEN 2 (below) - A tiny galley kitchen with avocado green cabinets. This kitchen features a marble slab backsplash and marble checkered tile floors.

So which of these do you prefer - Kitchen 1 or Kitchen 2?  If you were going be daring in your own kitchen design and you had to pick one of these two, which of these kitchens would you chose? Is there one you like more? Do tell...would love to hear what you have to say on this one.  I am on the fence.  I would most likely go with a white kitchen but can certainly appreciate the cool eclectic design in these.  Weigh in please!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Had a great talk with colleague and friend Kimberly yesterday. She is a pro in "the business" and she gave me some great advice. She also turned me onto a cool company that makes bracelets primarily for men but they are great for girls too! Follow along on COCOCOZY Pinterest to see the latest that I'm loving from this company and more. Thank you Kimberly!

P.P.S. Also on COCOCOZY Pinterest, I pinned a gorgeous wedding from my archives last night. A friend of mine had planned the wedding years ago...it is a rustic chic event that took place in the hills of Los Angeles...complete with bales of hay as seating!
