I wish I knew who the designer is.

UPDATE: Credit where credit is due – I did a little detective work to find that this award winning kitchen is the work of Jeanne Rehkamp Larson of Rehkamp Larson Architects in Minneapolis:

The kitchen does a brilliant job of mixing contemporary and traditional elements to create a space that is completely current.  A great balance of warm and cool, old and new, practicality and whimsy – I’m loving the rainbow stools and the scalloped trim at hood and island.  True timelessness is difficult to achieve, but this must be pretty close to it, in a totally post-modern way.

Some charmers from the stylish North:

Did you notice the lamp on the left? There’s no escaping them, even in the country, it seems.

Any one of these would be perfect for preparing picnics and easy summer food – definitely the right mood for the lazy days of August, if you are lucky enough to experience those!

Strange, yet familiar

Actually, I’m pretty sure my sister and I got to wear that fabric, upcycled into “midi” skirts, once it’s kitchen duty was done.

I have no record of where I found this image – please help me identify it if you can.
