Front & Main - West Elm Blog Shout-Out

It is always fun to see some of the images from your blog get picked up by another blog.

Yesterday, West Elm's Blog, posted two images from my kitchen.

Both images captured shots of their globe pendant lights that hang over our kitchen island.

I am a big fan of West Elm....especially their sales tables.
So, I thought I would re-post some images of the lights along with a few of my West Elm sales finds....
and no this is not a sponsored post.... just a little West Elm inspiration.




The lights are one of my favourite finds from West Elm as they provide a little hit of contemporary in our somewhat country kitchen.

My style is far from contemporary but I like the mix of somewhat modern with country to keep it looking lighter..... sort of a modern country look.

I love to hit West Elm just at the change of seasons to check out their sales table.

And...
anybody that shops with me knows that I rarely buy anything full price and a lot of what I do buy
is often second-hand...
But I do like to scout out some of these chains to see what I can pick up.


These little silver bowls were a really good deal and come in handy for a variety of items, the left one is silver and the other wood with a shiny silver leaf finish.


The bird plates were a clearance deal as well and have provided fun detailing to our subway tile backsplash....



So, not a lot but a few little pieces and hey, we don't even have a West Elm in my part of the world...

oh and if you read the post, well, I am not blogging from the lovely city of Montreal but rather a little village outside of Quebec city...
but just details.

So, that's it ...
My little surprise for Tuesday.

  5. I haven't read the post at West Elm yet, but I will. Congratulations for being noticed by a large company like WE. Your kitchen is a perfect example of Modern Country, I think, and I love your dining room, it's my inspiration for my dining room that is slowly, very slowly taking shape.
    The little bird plates are adorable and look really nice where you have them. And the light globes with the Edison bulbs are perfection!
    Have a wonderful week. Cindy

    1. Thanks Sue. I edited the post and tried to make it stand out better. I probably need to do some editing in general to my default fonts.

  13. I was going to mention that they had moved your house for you. I actually didn't know that West Elm had a blog so I'm happy to find it. What great shots of your beautiful kitchen they posted.

  14. How exciting Donna! I'm not surprised your photos got picked up, you've got such an "eye" for vignettes. I noticed that the first time I ever came here. I absolutely love your dining room and kitchen, so much prettiness. And the globe adds so much personality.

  17. I'm so in love with your kitchen, I'm not surprised it got featured. Isn't it a little like looking at somebody else's house once it's on a different blog?
