Hello friends. I hope your week is off to a great start. The sun was out this weekend and though it was a little cold and windy, the sun blesses my soul. Over the weekend I bought some beautiful Freesias and some tulips. The colors make me so happy. I didn’t realize how pretty Freesia smelled, but when I asked my daughter to sniff them, she said they smelled like pepper. Ha. They actually do kinda smell like pepper, so weird. Nevertheless, they’re still beautiful.
Today some of my friends and I are sharing various spaces in our homes with a touch of Spring. If you are coming from Jaime’s home, welcome! Jaime is a fellow Canadian and I just adore her style.
I’m sharing our kitchen and although I didn’t go overboard with Spring, by just bringing a few flowers and some potted plants, it already feels fresher.
I bought a couple of olive trees at our local nursery. I hope they last longer than the last ones I had. Olive trees don’t like a lot of water and love sun. I’ve placed them at a prime real state spot by the window so hopefully they will thrive there. I’ll keep you posted.
I also bought some fresh potted herbs and placed them here and there…
I’m really loving our white kitchen, even though I’m really considering painting the island black. I have the paint already, just not the courage to do it just yet.
I’ve also been craving lighter food lately though admittedly not actively acting upon that craving. Ha.
See what I mean? HA
I moved the bar cart to this spot for now. I love the versatility of bar carts don’t you?

I ordered a pink rug a few weeks ago, but when it arrived, it had more red and gray than the way it looks online. ugh I hate when that happens. It will do for now though.

Sheila says
So lovely.
Where did you get the pot that your olive tree is in?
Sheila says
Oh which dollar store!?
Tiffany says
Hi Lucy! You have such a beautiful kitchen! I’m sure you have answered this before but I am new here 🙂 Where is your kitchen backsplash from? I also have an all white kitchen and have been waiting for THE backsplash that speaks to my heart and I may have found it with yours! Thanks!
Deborah Tolland says
I really like the island white.. and the back splash is beautiful I look at my dark, disorganized kitchen and I know that just adding some colorful flowers isn’t really going to change it enough to make me happy. I’ll give it a try though…I really do like tulips so I can start there.
Jamie says
Your kitchen is gorgeous, Lucy! I waffled back and forth about my kitchen being black too! But in the end I did a light grey, I chickened out lol. I think it will be gorgeous no matter what you decide.
Hugs, Jamie
Randi says
I love all of your stunning, fresh spring touches to your beautiful kitchen! It makes me so excited to have my kitchen back!!! xo
Barb says
Lucy,
I love, Love, LOVE your herringbone backsplash! Is it marble? My kitchen cabinets are the same style (Shaker) as yours but in maple, and my handles, knobs are just like yours. You have excellent taste!
Judy Davey says
Lovely…your ho,e is so beautiful & serene.
Jennifer says
Incredibly beautiful Lucy! Your little olive tree is perfect. I’ve looked for a small one, but have yet to find one. Such a great kitchen tour and I can’t wait to see whether you decide to paint the island or not.
Elizabeth Bullard says
I love your kitchen flooring. It is the perfect neutral gray. Is it laminate or hardwood?
Frances says
Hi, Lucy! Your kitchen is beautiful! I would love to know the source for the wicker chairs.
Thanks,
Fran
Lisa says
Hi Lucy, Your kitchen is stunning! I think the island would look amazing painted black, or dark graphite. Can you please share a source for the wood chairs wth upholstered seats? THESE are the chairs that I need but have never been able to find!
Kathy says
After looking at your navy and turquoise accessories in your kitchen I wondered if you had considered painting your island navy blue? Black would look great as well.
Jen says
Hi! Your kitchen is just lovely. Love the spring touches.
Where did you get the white board that your utensil crock is sitting on? Is it marble?
Thanks so much!
