Beautiful Restoration of Sant Francesc Church

This just blew me away. An old (built in the early 1700's!) church in Spain beautifully restored. Originally intended for demolition, the Sant Francesc Church was saved by the residents of Santpedor, transforming the decrepit space into a thoughtful cultural space and auditorium.

Taking seven years to restore, architect David Closes added modern elements to the naturally historic building.

It's absolutely stunning and one of the most beautiful renovations I have ever seen.

AMAZING Kitchen Renovation

When I came across Emily McCall's kitchen renovation blog post I thought to myself:  'That's it! That is the most perfect kitchen, EVER!' I fell in love & literally spent a hour looking & examining her gorgeous photos & every detail of her kitchen.

I'll spare you my gushy, wordy love letter to this kitchen & give my top 5: 

1. Beautiful countertops: marble & butcher block with white subway tiles.
2. The perfect simple/modern cabinets with familiar farmhousey hardware.
3. The eating nook is a perfect combo of table/seating (the light fixture is unexpected!)
4. My favorite: upper cabinet are replaced with open shelves. Well styled, yet useful.
5. Thoughtful details: the light above the sink, the use of whites & wood, room flow, decor bits...

I would not change a thing. I'm so in love with this kitchen I want to stand at the kitchen sink and do the dishes.

For a TON of amazing images (even the shocking before & afters!) jet on over to Emily McCall's blog. (& all images above from Emily McCall's blog.)
