redesign {M}

I've been helping my friend M redesign her big and beautiful home. She has a wonderful combination of classic and playful fashion style that I want to help her translate into her own home. Seriously, this girl can pull off this fun outfits. But her home doesn't reflect this seem sense of style. She asked me for some input.

First, we needed to start with some images to help her define how the juxtaposition of classic and playful can be interpreted.

outlet placement

A few weeks ago, my new blogger friend Lisa, of Lisa Mende Design, wrote one of the best design posts I have read in a long time. She commented on how we often go to great lengths to renovate our spaces, then fail to overlook something as simple as the outlets placement. This is most noticeable in the kitchen space, where smart outlet placement lends to increased work function and efficiency.

Lisa's post specifically addresses kitchen outlet placement. Her position is simple- great style and design can accomadate high function. Whether you are starting from scratch or retrofitting,  her post is complete with photographic examples of each design point.

As a someone who has plans/hopes (fingers crossed) of a kitchen remodel in the next few years, I'm filing away this one under key information to remember.

Lisa is an interior designer of 14 years and a master designer. Read her post and then c'mon back and let me know what you think. Have you considered outlet placement before or is it an "ah-ha" moment?

(Of course, feel free to leave Lisa some comment love too!)
