Yesterday I picked some sun-warmed apples from my tree. I set them on the kitchen counter, and all through the day as I worked, I saw the light changing on those apples. Couldn’t resist more experiments with my camera. Please forgive the self indulgence! (“It’s my party blog and I’ll cry if post what I ...
Here’s a gorgeous piece of eye-candy: task lighting and drop-dead gorgeous focal point in one. (Found here). You’d have to keep up with your dusting and polishing, but I think it would be well worth it.

In both cases the curves provide a nice contrast to the rest of the kitchen, and really seem to invite you in. Practically, the seating around a curve is ...
