Today’s installment of Friday Eye Candy is a bit like my week . . . all over the place! So hang in there. First up, I have some gorgeous photos from Traditional Home for you. {Photos via traditional home} Our Favorite hotel in Las Vegas {The Encore} has walls that are houndstooth. When we stay there I always return home saying I am going to do it. Still no houndstooth wall in my home, but this one sure is pretty! …………………… Next up is an amazing before and after Kitchen from Dream Book Designs. I sort of have kitchens on my mind and will explain more about that next week. I’ll need your advice, dear blog friends! ………..…………………………….the before ………………………….the amazing after Do you see what I see? An amazing transformation. I just love that island and the brick wall makes me giddy. You can check out more fantastic projects over at Dream Book Designs. …………………………. And lastly, I am over the moon excited to meet up with Carmel from Our Fifth House tonight. We have become fast friends through our blogs and it will be wonderful to finally meet in person! She is remarkably talented and creative. I am sure you have seen many of her projects. Her stenciled drapes are stunning. ………………….. Thanks for sticking with me on this all over the place post! Enjoy your weekends!

I love that brick wall in the kitchen – it adds so much character and warmth!! Reminds me of Beth's house on A2Z – so cool.

I have been looking for those chairs used at the bar. We have been going round and round about what bar chairs to get. A picture is worth a thousand words – thanks for the breakthrough on this style journey.

I love this post! First, the houndstooth wallpaper, it's gorgeous! And the kitchen makeover is absolutely beautiful and inspirational. Love the exposed brick wall and the rustic coffee table, it feels very industrial chic!
And the deer head is fabulous, too!
Thanks for sharing!
Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season!
