Living Bliss: Modern Yellow Kitchen

Sleek built-in stainless steel appliances, stainless steel counter tops, and an entire stainless steel kitchen isle (with double sink). . . That description would have made me say, "Nah, too much stainless steel." But you know what, it just works brilliantly, especially with the modern cabinetry and lighting. And just notice the entire wall dedicated to wine storage - clever and gorgeous!

Living Bliss: Modern Lines by the Ocean

A truly spectacular modern design: clean lines and beautiful wooden panels that wrap around the whole house, creating a pretty contrast with the deep blue tones of the ocean and the pool.

Living Bliss: Blossoms and Light

Light is always welcome in my living room. The more, the better! It energizes me and, in an instant, everything is easier and better. Bring some blossoming tree branches into the picture and it is my perfect day.

Happy Friday everyone!
I wish you all a splendid weekend!

Living Bliss: Ocean View

 Soft and delicate blue nuances, high ceilings, big windows and luxurious white columns, but, without any doubt, my favorite thing about this space is the incredible view. Also, I adore the aquatic theme for accessorizing the place (sea stars, sea shells).

Living Bliss: Color Accents

These home owners definitely have an eye for the eclectic style with a pop of color: The overall simplistic style is enchanted with bright accent pieces.

 

Living Bliss: Interior Imitating Art

I really love this painting! It's the sort of vibrant piece of art that, if you love enough, can be the inspiration for the whole living space . . . like is the case here. White, yellow, pink and red add a lot of fun character to this place.

Living Bliss: A White Beauty

 Yes, I could move in! Yes, please!
There are so many things I adore about this house: the wide and open entry, the abundance of windows, the porch at the back and the landscaping, of course! . . . But for now, it remains something to dream about and look forward to. . .

Living Bliss: Clean White Kitchen

 

Simple, modern and clean white . . .

Living Bliss: Cabin in the Snow

 

The Sugar Bowl, a 'Depression-era ski resort' near Lake Tahoe is a spectacular place, appreciated by keen skiers. The Huneeus family was lucky enough to find an empty lot in the area where they built their 3,800 square foot house with the help of Bay Area architect John Maniscalco. 

This wonderful house offers a privileged way of skiing, indeed. See for yourself . . .

Living Bliss: Glamorous Nursery

Nor your typical nursery, don't you think? It has none of the teddy bears or cotton candy colors. Instead, it pampers the baby, but mostly the mom, with lovely and glamorous ambiance, organic white fabrics, mirrors and chandeliers. Beautiful!

 

Living Bliss: Elegant and organized in black

Elegant, clean, organized and spacious - exactly how I like it. I might need a little bit of color (not that these black decisions for the cabinets and walls aren't wonderful), but I love the design!

 

Living Bliss: Luxurious soft gray

Soft gray nuances, luxurious and versatile - I love that - in any shape and form.

 

Living Bliss: Fun Spacious Kitchen

Lovely spacious kitchen with plenty of storage, seating, counter top space (ahh, the kitchen isle is something I'd really like to have). The back-splash is fun and beautiful.

Living Bliss: Structured, Elegant and Dignified

Architects who designed this magnificent property in Spain were influenced and inspired by the surrounding landscape in creating the overall feel and look. The house stands on two floors and offers a TV and dining room, a game room, main service area, room for the family's collection of wines and a spacious garage.

 

Living Bliss: Multi-functional

I love a living space that offers an opportunity for the whole family to get together and share activities, where cooking meets help with kids' homework, answering e-mails and blogging, ideally ;)

 

Living Bliss: Lovely Basement

This is one brilliant fully finished basement! It has virtually everything: a main entrance (just imagine, your guest can come in without disturbing the rest of the house), a fireplace (totally love that part!!!), little home office area, storage, entertainment/lounge area, tv, fridge, running water and windows! This is a much desired addition to any house.

 

Living Bliss: By The Fireplace

With the cold weather as of late and the first snowfall yesterday, I am in the mood to sit by a fireplace. A cup of good coffee wouldn't hurt either.

 

Living Bliss: Spacious Townhouse

For us city dwellers, a town house like this one is living paradise: spacious, mostly open layout, a deck, and a family room that opens up to your very own green backyard! Enjoy!

Living Bliss: Warm colors and chic

Lovely living space created by San Francisco-based interior designer Palmer Weiss: fresh, warm colors, eclectic collection of furniture pieces and attention to detail. 

My favorite things are the dark hardwood floors (especially in contrast with the light walls and furniture), the orange patterned accent chair, the yellow curtains in the darker dining rooms and the open layout kitchen in white (the white counter-top is sublime). Oh, and what about the breakfast nook in lemon-fresh-yellow?! I'd love to have my cereal there! 

One word does it for me - beautiful!

 

Living Bliss: High Wooden Beams

Nothing can instantly warm-up a space like a fireplace and solid wood. I love these high ceilings' wooden beams and the big windows. Just bring me my hot chocolate and let me spend the afternoon there.
