Inspirational picture for a ceiling pot rack that will have to be ordered custom made in the appropriate size.
My husband and I both prefer it to be made out of copper, will see if it can be realized. Sometime this week we’re going to look for a metal shop that could turn this photo into reality.
надеюсь, то что на фото – будет реальностью в моей новой кухне. главное условие: материал – медь. посмотрим, удастся ли найти мастерскую и металло дел мастера, который воплотит этот план в действительность.
Between all the work that needs to be done for the new apartment’s renovation, untying and cleaning crystals from my new old chandeliers that arrived from Paris a few days ago and getting them ready for rewiring, I’m managing to do some Chinese girl embroidery every day and I finally finished knitting Norwegian stockings.

Today I had received our kitchen cabinet drawings from the designer, reviewed the measurements and all. It looked good.
The picture bellow shows half of the future kitchen.

But then I got another email from him suggesting cabinet doors style even though we have talked about it, I gave him a picture of the fronts both doors and drawers. Seeing that picture he sent got me a bit worried. I won’t post it here since to me it’s… how should I say … a doll house? too pretty. This is definitely not how I would like our kitchen to look, please, NO.
Here is my absolute favorite kitchen and I just love those fronts of the cabinets and drawers! They are of the same style but not exactly the same in construction.

Can you guess what it is?
Me trying to see what size of black & white tiles I should use for our kitchen cabochon floor. To visualize it, I cut out color paper squares in two different sizes and taped them to our current kitchen floor.
Something in between is what we’ve chosen.
And here is the REAL FLOOR!
An update email from the factory where it has been cut to our specifications out of black and white marble.
It was my dream to have black and white marble cabochon tile floor. It is very close to become a reality.
{isn’t it beautiful?}

I’m so excited to see the photos on my computer screen and cannot wait for the floor to make its way to Hong Kong and to our new kitchen!!
Here are some images of cabochon floor.
