Happy January, friends! Whether we are exploring paint colors (did you see this light blue ditty or 2021 paint colors?), an Ethereal European Country Kitchen Mood, inspiring decorating ideas, or soulful musing of mysteries within the soul, I hope to bring you ideas and inspiration to lift your everyday.

Ethereal European Country Kitchen Mood
My Interpretation of an Ethereal Kitchen
Peaceful living certainly doesn’t correspond to a solitary signature look; we’re a diverse lot with varied experiences, tastes, temperaments, and values.
For me, an ethereal design vocabulary might include “gentle” and “soothing” and “contemplative.”
An ethereal mood quiets my soul and feels like such a departure from the grind of daily life.
While pale neutrals and white play prominently into my plans, pastels can be ethereal too.
Psst. Thank you for spending time here to consider ideas to bring more loveliness into your home and heart. I’m so happy to sprinkle peaceful words of beauty and blessing here.

Light is Everything For Mood
Today, in my own kitchen, the January light reflecting off pristine white snow looks beautiful with its pink undertones and cool ethereal softness.
I struggle with the extreme weather and winter temperatures as I live with (recently diagnosed) Raynaud’s Phenomenon, but the season’s unique light is something to celebrate.
So are the serene, pretty kitchens you’ll see below designed by deVOL, a bespoke kitchen and bath firm in the UK whose artisans create timeless treasures for the home.
In Praise of deVOL Craftsmanship
I have sung deVOL’s praise for many years, and what a delight to see their work expand and flourish.
Simple things, beautifully made…what a mission to aspire to!

Begin the ethereal mood journey by first viewing this glimpse of deVOL’s “showroom” below (it will almost certainly lower your blood pressure, deepen your breathing, and even jumpstart your creativity).
What a lovely expression of fine craftsmanship, timeless beauty, and quiet simplicity deVOL imparts!

Daily Transformation Inspiration
Stream of consciousness reflections were shared a year ago and still resonate today. They were inspired by the bespoke work here and wisdom drawn from my messy life right where I am…
What am I over-complicating in my life this very moment due to a limited awareness, lack of faith, or sense of hopelessness?
How might I transform and begin to trust and see with new eyes through a lovelier lens?
Am I ready to seek the grace for new eyes?
My heart is sending yours a reminder that you certainly can create beauty and enjoy more meaningful days even with the circumstances before you.
Baby steps.
Big love.
Belief that new mercies are on the way.

To see such loveliness created from a soft, quiet palette is in and of itself beautiful. To view the video with the accompaniment of the simplest music brought about through a gentle voice’s lyrics and touchingly soft instrumentation, makes it all the more of a perfection in relaxation.

I just love that music and vibe! Thank you for sharing it with me, friend. xox
Farmhouse sinks are calling out to me and have been for some time. I would redo my kitchen tomorrow but we are certain that investing in this home would not be better than moving to another. Hubby and I have this discussion every Saturday morning. Would love to design, plan and swoon over kitchens with this “feeling”, which seems ironic because yesterday I announced that I was really burned out on cooking. Maybe if I cooked in a lovely place…. My current kitchen IS lovely, just not my own design, right? Maybe I could be more passionate about those burdensome weeknight dinners if I felt the magic of a bespoke kitchen in the English countryside. Can you relate? Do you know the kitchen fairy? Have her call me. Thank you, Michele. P.S. It will be Spring very soon.

I am totally with you. I get aggravated with our kitchen when I entertain because it just cannot accommodate the crowds that want to gather in it! I need that kitchen fairy too. Thank goodness spring is coming…what a grey day it was! Thanks for reading and keeping the mood cheery! xox
The most beautiful thing about the video was the quiet water just outside the window, the graceful swans drying their wings, and the raft of ducks swimming about. I dream to walk that shore, sit on the grass in the quiet of the day just watching the waterfowl and feel at peace.
Blessings,

Amen to Carole! I’m still in my PJ’s…my excuse is that it snowed here last night! 🙌🏼
