H2H: Martini Time

I have to laugh at this edition of Project House to Home. Jeremy & I are not at all drinkers. I wouldn't even consider us social drinkers. Occasionally, if we are with a group of people we might partake of one drink, but that is very, very, rare. I do like a good Virgin Pina Colada though. This is what makes the theme for our kitchen and family room so funny...Martini's.

Our original plan was to go with a theme of wine, since it seems so fitting for a kitchen. But in reality the wine themes were not modern enough for the look we wanted. That's when we stumbled upon Michael Godard and his art, well not exactly when since in reality my sister introduced the the paintings of Michael Godard a little over a year ago (but more about that at another time). Back to the kitchen and family room. The abstract martini, bold colors, clear lines, is exactly the modern look that Jeremy & I wanted and if it happens to be Martini's then roll with it. We are totally loving the way it's starting to come together.

Large canvas pictures start the theme in the room, bring in the colors in the placemats and flowers, and also the rug leading to the backyard. Adding Martini glasses to the ledge on the cabinets. Still a ton to go but baby steps is the key for Project House to Home.
