What I'm Loving This Wednesday: SMEG Appliances



If you love retro, you’re going to love Smeg! This Italian company’s focus is on kitchen appliances and they have three different lines, Linea, Piano, Classic and of course 50’s Retro. They have fridges, ovens, ranges, dishwashers and even cabinet organization products to help keep the theme throughout your kitchen and help you keep it tidy too! 

Smeg’s tagline is “Technology with Style,” and that is exactly what their appliances scream. You can really do a lot with your kitchen by incorporating one of these appliances, even if you don’t want to go totally retro.  If you’re going to have one iconic piece in your house, why not have it be in your kitchen – which is often the place where people congregate in a home.  I have a feeling that having one of Smeg’s ovens could really make cooking a lot fun! 

Each of Smeg’s lines features appliances with sleek lines, innovative design and a just an overall gorgeous look. Plus, not only are they amazing looking, but they are actually high quality appliances with lots of great functional features.  All of their appliances are high performance and low consumption. Also Smeg is environmentally friendly company and only uses such as steel, glass, aluminum and brass, all of which can be easily recycled.  Their production process also followings and improves on environmental conservation standards. 

 Another thing that is really cool about Smeg is that the designers really do a lot of research on functionality, usage and aesthetic specific to the kitchen and kitchen appliances. And their international design studio is supported by prominent architects like Guido Canali, Mario Bellini and Marc Newson. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of style and technology, Smeg appliances are really a great option to consider.  





I’ve included just a few examples of their products, but there are a lot more! Check them out for yourself at www.smegusa.com.

Coastal Love

Yesterday, I was driving to work and it was such a beautiful day here in Indian Rocks Beach, FL. The sun was shining and the water was glistening. It looked like someone just threw glitter in the bay. It brought an instant smile to my face and I felt cheery all day.

Throughout the day I was thinking of beautiful coastal inspired interiors and I haven't been able to shake this stunning color palette. I love the beautiful green and blue hues...


So here are a few coastal inspired images that make my beachy heart sing! :)


I love the coastal-cool retro kitchen:

I love the shutter details on the walls of this breakfast nook:

Provide a happy dose of sunshine for your guests with a bedroom like this:

Kelly Wearstler's line of textiles would work out great for a coastal home:

I don't know about you... but this would be my perfect beach home. Modern, sleek and full of windows and natural light....
