Obsessed With: Indoor Herb Gardens

My current obsession is still--- plants!


My husband and I have recently been talking about creating our own herb garden in the kitchen.
So I wanted to share some tips I have come across.


What better way to be more green.
Color wise and environmentally too.


First things first-- finding the best spot for them to grow.
We don't have the largest kitchen, so I find that these wall mount options are the best for a small space.

How To

Next up, finding the best type of plants to grow in your home.

Sage

A few other herbs that can grow on a sunny windowsill--

Indoor/Outdoor Living

Lately I have been so inspired by the thought of indoor/outdoor living.

So I wanted to share with you some great spaces that I have come across.

Outdoor Patio

I love how the furniture is set up here, it creates a great space for lounging and entertaining.

Doors & Large Windows 

Once these doors are open, it doubles your living space.

How beautiful is this!?

You truly feel, one with nature in this home.

I love the open kitchen concept here.

These garage style doors- are a neat, industrial architectural element to add.

 

Indoor/Outdoor Bathrooms

This bathroom has so many things going for it.

Rustic elements with the vanity

Industrial concrete flooring

Reclaimed wood for the open shower

I love it all!

Again! How can you not just die for this bathroom!

It would be so relaxing to have a soak in that lovely tub.

Completely Outdoors

 

I almost have no words for the gorgeous home.

It is completely immersed in nature.

What a beautiful retreat.

City & Suburban Living

Even if you live in the city, there are ways to create indoor/outdoor living.

This picture really showcases that.

 

They have done a wonderful job creating a lovely outdoor living space.

So comfortable for entertaining.

I hope these spaces inspire you as well. Especially, as the weather starts to warm up. What better way to spend your time- than to be outdoors with the ones you love.

I would like to start off with presenting this years design trends.







Patterned Tile
Subway tile is out and pattern tile is all the rage!

Open Shelving

No more upper cabinets.

Live Plants

We have taken part in this trend!
We are obsessed with all of our house plants.

 

Having living plants throughout your home, really adds color and life.

Black Fixtures


So sleak and modern.

Concrete

We are seeing the use of concrete for countertops, backsplash and flooring becoming more and more popular.

Terrazzo



What's so great about this product, is it has complete customizability!
And it works perfectly for flooring, countertops, backsplashes- virtually any surface and application.

 

Marble




Everywhere!

Two Tone Cabinets




Solid white cabinets are a thing of the past.

 

Mixed Metallics

Have fun mixing your metal finishes.
No need to stick to just one color.

Freestanding Bath Tubs

These luxurious tubs help create such a spa like space.

Keep these trends in mind, when planning your next project.
