Thanks for all of your feedback yesterday. I so appreciate the insight!

Now, I am going to look to you all once again. I need to buy quite a few baby presents but I am at a loss. What do I get??

I got a blanket from Mela & Roam for a friend a while ago. With a cute little monogram it was such a great gift.

But now I am looking for something new… 

As an interior designer, I love the idea of giving these ballet illustrations and contributing to the design of the little one’s room

But a design conscious mom might not want someone else’s stuff in their perfectly designed nursery!

So, new mommas, what were your favorite presents?

I am in the very beginning stages of a kitchen project right now and want to get some advice.

The style of the kitchen is one longgggg wall of cabinets with a massive island. Also of note, there are almost 12′ ceilings. Things we know for sure: The cabinetry is going to be white, we are going to build a soffet so that we dont have cabinets all the way up, and the sink will be in the center of the island.

So here is the problem I’m having… its a big wall of heavy, white cabinets. Real big. The range will be centered on the wall of cabinets, but do we need something else to break up the space? Say like, glass fronted cabinets on either side of the range? I love the look, but functionally… I am just not sure it makes sense. Doesn’t grease and food and gunk constantly spray on the glass fronts?

So dear readers. Do you have glass fronted cabinets on either side of your range? Does it bug you? I hope not, because I love the look. SHARE!
