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.

Kitchen Crazed!

Some of you already know this, but for those who don't... I'm getting married in under TWO months! YIKES! July 7th, 2012 is our big day and I couldn't be more excited. Recently, my mom and my amazing bridesmaids hosted a beautiful bridal shower for me. I was overwhelmed with love...

As you know, one of the perks of having a bridal shower is all the amazing gifts you receive. (I am working on those thank you notes guys, they will be hitting your mailboxes soon!) Among the great gifts were stemware, silverware, dishes and kitchen gadgets galore. I am really trying to embrace the domestic diva in myself, but I just can't help but think that if I had one of these glorious kitchens, it just might come a little easier...

I would happily be a modern day Betty Crocker in this kitchen...

Don't you just love the calming color palette in this kitchen? 
I would love to wake up to sunshine and a cup of joe here...

Big style, low fuss, calming colors and loads of stunning pieces...

One thing all of these fabulous kitchens have in common, great lighting fixtures. Don't go skimpy with your lighting. Your kitchen is a place that you can add some serious wow factor with some simple choices.
