Domestic Dreamland

I'm having house envy today after seeing this kitchen. With a place for everything, this cream and black kitchen is the stuff of dreams {if you are an obsessor of all things kitchen like me}.  The colors used in this kitchen work really well for showcasing the food.


I love how elegant everything looks just by putting things on display.

In the Kitchen.....


Ok this hummus is promised to be the best I will ever have. That is a lot to live up to but I am going to give it a go. Hummus is one of my favorite things and I am always looking for a new way to eat it. I have never made it myself before but I think this recipe by By Sara Forte of Sprouted Kitchen {via a cup of jo} will be quite doable. I have an outing with the girls coming up for an upcoming wedding and I might have to bring the snacks.





Lemon and Herb Hummus
Serves 6-8 

You'll need:
3 cups cooked garbanzo beans
1 roasted shallot, see note
3 tbsp. tahini
Zest and juice of one lemon 
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp fresh parsley 
3 tbsp. fresh dill
3 tbsp. basil leaves

Optional garnish:
1/2 an English cucumber, sliced thin
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Champagne vinegar
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional

Currently Working On....


Bathroom is the name of the game today. I am working on a bathroom for an Indianapolis home and have a couple of options. One is a sleek marble bath of creams and whites with grain cut marble walls, mosaic marble floors, and a black marble sink. The other is a warm travertine bathroom with white paneled walls, bone subway tile, and a warm wood vanity.

On the Job

I need {so badly} a new and updated work space. We have a spare bedroom that has our extra bed, but also all of the clutter I didn't want to see in the rest of the place. I think we should turn it into a multi use space for D and I. Because I know I will probably use it the most, I can probably get away with doing what ever I want to it. I love this office from The Devil Wears Prada. I don't think I need the intimidation factor in my own office, but the clean pallet with the pops of color from the books and accessories, I could do that.
