kitchen inspiration

The time has come... my first blog post! I am so excited to finally have gotten to this point. Creating a blog where I can share my favorite recipes with family, friends, and everyone else out in the blogosphere has been something I've wanted to do for a long time. Cooking isn't just something I do everyday because I have to. It is something that I enjoy so much, that it has influenced almost every aspect of my life in the absolute best way possible! I was just about to go into detail about how this love affair between me and food started, but I think I'll save that for my "About" page :). Since this is my first post, I thought it would be nice to share some pictures of items that have inspired my "style" in the kitchen.

I'm pretty much obsessed with anything Anthropologie, so my room, house, and of course, kitchen, is based off of their gorgeous style. It makes me think "fresh, simple, and beautiful," which is also how I try to make my food. (Hence why me and Anthropologie go so well together ;)). Oh I can't forget to mention that I'm a sucker for glass canisters, mason jars, baskets, re-purposed/upcycled DIY projects, chippy/distressed wood, counter appliances and useful kitchen gadgets (I have so much love for those that I actually ask for them for Christmas/my birthday/any holiday possible), and anything organizational. Basically, if I had to describe my overall style in a few words, I'd say it was anthro-inspired, with a touch of Mediterranean and country flair. (It all works together, I promise.)
