Candice Olson Kitchens

I am a huge Candice Olson Fan.

So much so that other than 'devouring' episodes of her shows and reading her books,  I believe that my design aesthetic and tastes have evolved with her design style in mind!


However, when I set out in designing our kitchen, I think it was the only time, I DID NOT open my Candice Olson "reference" books. And still in the end, I think my style has mimic hers! Well. at least I hope it has. ;-)

Take a look at these kitchens...

Our Kitchen - A Candice Olson Wanna-be?!!!

See the mix of wood and white?!!
And also the sparkle with the lights and of course the 'exotic tiles' for her backsplashes?
Come on, Indulge me a bit, don't you  think I could make Momma Candice proud! ;-)


Have a Great Weekend!

  2. When I first saw your kitchen I did think of Candice Olson whose style and talent for every last detail in a space I admire. Either this is your natural style or you've poured over her designs enough, but you didn't need to open the reference book for your kitchen, you did it on your own! Hope you really enjoy your space.
