Kitchen storage is something we can never get enough of. Islands like this with plenty of space for cookbooks are always our favorites.
Open shelving adds that instant homey, cottage feel
even in the grandest of homes.
Sage Design loves using open shelving. They’re so elegant and perfect for showcasing simple essentials.
More storage where it matters most.
This tub has me longing for my home and relaxing soaks.
Sage Design is a beautiful way to start (or end) the day!
We hope, wherever you are, you’re day is starting just as well!

It is amazing how the tiniest details can totally transform a room. Abar stool... A chic centerpiece… A fun rug... We have to say that all of these adorable pieces fromSerena & Lilycompletely changed our kitchen!
To say that we had been pining for theseRiviera Bar Stools is probably an understatement. They added just the right amount of coastal chic, texture and pattern to our white kitchen.
Another game changer? This darling runner! We were perfectly content with plain hardwoods until we saw how much more finished and cozy the house looked this rug. And the stoolis not only a chic, teak accent, but will also help my little one wash his hands!
Truth be told, we eat at our kitchen bar almost as much as our dining room table. The details on this Serena & Lily tray make it a beautiful focal point–and it’s as functional as it is pretty! Simple, pretty napkins are a perfect finishing touch.
Just for fun… This is what the kitchen looked like on Tuesday at 4 pm before the photo shoot on Wednesday! A lot of you probably know that this house had to be completely gutted after Hurricane Florence in September 2018, and, full disclosure, the rest of the house is a total construction site! But just to see this one room come together was a huge light at the end the tunnel. Big, huge thanks toSerena & Lily for getting us in gear!
For more inspiration, check out ourbedroom makeover with Serena & Lily here. Fingers crossed that one day soon this room will look like this again!
Another big, huge thanks to Smith Hardy for taking the gorgeous photos of our kitchen!
More About Feels Like Falling…
From “the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin Hilderbrand) and the bestselling author of the Peachtree Bluff series comes an odd couple tale of friendship that asks just how much our past choices define our happiness.
It’s summertime on the North Carolina coast and the livin’ is easy.
Unless, that is, you’ve just lost your mother to cancer, your sister to her evangelical husband, and your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life, she inadvertently gets a stranger fired from her job at the local pharmacy.
Diana Harrington’s summer isn’t off to the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only a busted Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest house and a very guilty conscience.
With Gray’s kindness, Diana’s tide begins to turn, but when the one that got away comes back, every secret from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana’s help, that what she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at all.
In her warmest, wittiest, and wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.

Good morning, chic readers! We love, love Tuesdays, especially when we have a heaping helping of good taste to share with you.
Today you’re in for a treat with the fabulously good taste of the Orlando designers of Steele Street Studios.
We love the simple elegance of this fabulous kitchen.
Out of this world brass hardware is the perfect finishing detail to take it over the top.
Sleek pendant lighting and bar stools combined with industrial chic stainless lend this kitchen a modern look.
If you’re going to have to work at home sometimes, why not make it amazing? Plenty of built in bookcases provide chic storage.
Crisp yet cozy, this pretty bedroom hits all the high notes of style.
We love, love, love a chalkboard wall, especially in a playroom. It’s an inexpensive fix for larger walls that breeds creativity.
We grown-ups love our reading nooks. Shouldn’t our little ones get their own too? This one would make even the most reluctant reader want to spend an afternoon in a fictional world!
Playroom art doesn’t have to be expensive. Little ones love seeing their own masterpieces hanging.
One of the most important elements in any playroom is the floor space. And, of course, cute places to put everything away when the play is finished!
Any little one would be lucky to call this nursery home! From the grown-ups to the kids, Steele Street Studios makes every space totally extraordinary. Which is your favorite?
Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day. We always love it when you stop by!

Here’s What’s Next from the Murphy Women:
From internationally bestselling author and “rising star of Southern fiction” (Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times bestselling author) Kristy Woodson Harvey comes the third novel in her Peachtree Bluff series, in which a secret threatens the tight-knit bond between a trio of sisters and their mother.
With the man of her dreams back in her life and all three of her daughters happy, Ansley Murphy should be content. But she can’t help but feel like it’s all a little too good to be true.
Meanwhile, youngest daughter and actress Emerson, who is recently engaged and has just landed the role of a lifetime, seemingly has the world by the tail. Only, something she can’t quite put her finger on is worrying her—and it has nothing to do with her recent health scare.
When two new women arrive in Peachtree Bluff—one who has the potential to wreck Ansley’s happiness and one who could tear Emerson’s world apart—everything is put in perspective. And after secrets that were never meant to be told come to light, the powerful bond between the Murphy sisters and their mother comes crumbling down, testing their devotion to each other and forcing them to evaluate the meaning of family.
With Kristy Woodson Harvey’s signature charm, wit, and heart, The Southern Side of Paradise is another masterful Peachtree Bluff novel that proves she is a “Southern writer with staying power” (Booklist).

We don’t know about you, but kitchens are some of our favorite spots in the home, and we love seeing what’s new and what’s next–but also what traditions are still firmly in tact. Because Southern design is always a little bit about tradition. Even in the kitchen.
AH&L always delivers the best of the best, and these kitchens are no exception. Want to see what’s new–and what’s sticking around for another season? These are some of our takeaways:
3. Brass! We’ve always been fans of mixing and matching metals, and we’re loving seeing more brass in these stylish kitchen. We hope this trend sticks around.
4. Dark painted cabinets. We think of ourselves as being drawn toward light and bright, but we’re loving dark painted cabinets. Gray and navy are our favorites.
