So many European country kitchens utilize open shelving…have you lived with them?

I loved this open concept configuration with plate racks and shelves in an open cupboard:

Kitchen Faucets

There are so many wonderful choices these days. For a European country look, I do love a bridge faucet.

No complaints about this Kohler Parq one I bought for our former kitchen. It has a modern look that provided some edge and contrast to the surrounding traditional and classic elements.

Another gorgeous look is a wall mount faucet which adds instant charm and age:

Daily Transformation Inspiration

Stream of consciousness reflections inspired by design ideas here and wisdom drawn from the messiness of life just now, right where I am…

What ingredients for living wholeheartedly (gratitude, spiritual practice, prayer, service, meditation, etc.) are missing from my day? Because the only way I know to truly transform is to do it with each new day. To ask for a new mind and a new heart and begin anew.

Elizabeth Lesser inspirational quote on Hello Lovely Studio. #quotes

Right where I am, I find myself discouraged by the sufferings I experience from chronic illness. I saw a rheumatologist last week and fully expected to be diagnosed with Lupus since the test results I reviewed before the appointment indicated a positive result for autoimmune disease and consistent with SLE.

Detail of my olive tree in rustic European inspired pot with white stones - Hello Lovely Studio.
Like my 31″ olive tree and this fantastic pot…find it HERE!

But the doctor is not convinced. Maybe because of my Crohn’s disease which would explain a positive autoimmune test result. It’s not that I wanted to add Lupus to my collection of illnesses; I just wanted a place to start. To hear the doctor say “we’ll watch it” is so disheartening since I’m tired of monitoring and managing and muddling through.

Anne Lamott inspirational quote on Hello Lovely Studio. #quotes #annelamott

Yet this is my reality. More uncertainty. And more mystery. I know you get it and understand the ache. Thank you for your prayers on my behalf. What a blessing to be upheld.

I’m going to focus on doing loving things as Ann Lamott suggests. For others and for myself. I am not one to treat myself so I need reminders that it’s okay to accept help even if it is from myself.

Anne Lamott inspirational quote on Hello Lovely Studio. #quotes #annelamott

Life is hard, but it remains a precious gift. Love is ever the point, and I wish you oceans of it.
