Weekly Wrap-Up: Dreaming in Color

It’s no secret that our editors like white walls and neutral shades, but we do enjoy a good color-saturated design here and there—particularly in the summer. Check out a few of our recent colorful crushes, courtesy of Remodelista and Gardenista.

Mina Holland South London Refurbishment The Modern House — Above: So much to admire in this 750-square-foot London home, but it’s this kitchen setup—the plywood cabinets and shelves, the stove tucked into a former fireplace, the graphic white and blue tiled backsplash—that made our hearts sing.

Kitchen in Groombridge Road Project by Mike Tuck, Photo by Luke Hayes — Above: Produce drawers have been on our minds of late—and the ones in this green and pink Plain English kitchen are particularly great.

Above: A rhapsody in blue, this kitchen in a Spanish guesthouse has us planning a jaunt to Lisbon. We especially love the display case masking as kitchen cabinets.

It’s not quite hot-beverages weather, but Margot’s find—a pretty, modern electric tea kettle in shades of blush and gray—may just compel you to buy one right now. See Design Sleuth: Faye Toogood’s Electric Tea Kettle of Choice.
We love good-looking camp chairs that can be collapsed and tucked away when space needs to be made. Michelle has sourced 10 different versions, and naturally, we want all of them. See 10 Easy Pieces: Folding Camp Chairs.
Sharks at the beach? Pshaw! Dominating our summer phobias is poison ivy. Which is why we read—and re-read and bookmarked—Landscaping 101: How to Kill Poison Ivy.
