Kitchen of the week: Chic Pot Racks

I have my pots in a Lazy Susan in a lower corner cabinet which is pretty convenient I shall say.  My chic copper collection however, enjoys a far better place in my built in book case above my kitchen banquette and I love to see them in the open everyday.  Here are a few images with beautiful pots hanging from pot racks.  Enjoy!

All the beautiful copper hanging above the island functions as a focal point.  I love it!

A very industrial kitchen with pots displayed everywhere.  Notice the food scale also hanging from the rack. 

This is a very big island that functions as bookshelf and storage.  The way the pots frame the pendants is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

A very individualized kitchen.  This kitchen is for serious cooking!

I posted this kitchen before under the title The Perfect Kitchen for a reason.  It's magnificent!

Proof that a small kitchen can look chic and be functional as well.

Having everything in hand is an essential part of good living.  Spices above the stove and olive oils in reach is a must for me.  I also believe in breaking your kitchen into small spaces.  A section for coffee for instance.  It doesn't need to be a whole station with integrated coffee maker or anything that fancy, by only assigning a tray with sugar, coffeemate or cream next to a regular coffee maker will make life easier and your mornings more enjoyable.

Tantalizing Tangerine Tango

The 2012 Color of the Year is  ~

Honeysuckle is out and Tangerine Tango is IN.  The experts at Pantone have chosen this vivacious reddish orange to continue the trend towards upbeat, energetic colors that recharge.

"Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy", explains Leatrice Eiseman of Pantone.

Living with an energetic color may require some getting used to for some, but others feel perfectly at home enveloped in it.  As with everything, if you're just dipping your toes in the orange waters, go slowly...baby steps.  Start with accessories; a knick knack here or there;

If your comfortable with that, you can drive right in.  If a bold statement is your goal, tangerine's sultry, spicy color is a hit.  This hue happens to be flattering to skin as well, so you'll look like you have a dewy glow.  Now, if it could only take 10 pounds off!
