Let the sun shine in
I’ve really been appreciating our Winter sunshine these last few days – this time of the year the sun peeks in under the eaves and illuminates all sorts of corners and crannies in an extraordinary way. Partly it’s the angle of the sun, and partly it’s the fact that all the shade trees have lost their leaves – but whatever the cause, I really enjoy the effect. And it’s a fact that there is nothing quite like sunshine and shadows to make even quite pedestrian spaces look amazing. So today’s kitchens are all sunny ones – as in sunlit, rather than decorated with sunny colors. Enjoy!
The sunshine brings out the warmth in this airy New York kitchen by Incorporated:

Sunny and simple
Well, OK, these last two have sunny colors as well as sunshine – doubly delightful:

Inviting traditional - love the tablecloth

Warm and glossy - quite a feat
The only problem with all this lovely illumination at home is the way it reveals forgotten cobwebs, and shows me all too clearly which walls are overdue for painting – more on that later in the week. In the meantime, I think I’ll find a sunny spot for a nap – like a cat, or a lizard.
