    Hi Michelle,
    You're speaking my language! I'm loving that pale art mural in the kitchen, also the giant portrait. Muted colors make them so sophisticated!

    I don't know how I missed this :\ I'm all about this approach to design Michele. Love the dusty rose, pops of cold, smart storage, simple lighting, and clean lines. I also like those fun printed textiles at the bottom and the unexpected artwork. Great post!
