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...

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! ;-)

I think you definitely have created a kitchen that Candice would be proud of. It is stunning. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteCandice is the best designer in Canada - bar none ( in this humble Canadian's opinion lol )
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you channelled her perfectly !!!
