Interior and home decor: The Kwendy Home Christmas 2023

It’s that time of year again: Christmas at The Kwendy Home 2023. Every Christmas, Wendy transforms her house into a welcoming, festive home. It’s a feast for the eyes and a delightful immersive experience.

She’s shared where she found just about everything so take a look at her blog if you’re hunting for ideas and decorations.

Interior: Narrow 10-foot wide galley kitchen (Sabrina O'Neill + Emily Bazett-Jones)

September 25, 2023 in Interiors

Sabrina O’Neill and Emily Bazett-Jones took this 10-foot wide kitchen in a semi-detached house and made it feel wider and taller. They added two-toned cabinets with white oak and a detailed toe-kick. The warm wood tones from floor to ceiling make the space feel cohesive and comfortable.

This bathroom is a special one because it was designed by @creativedesigntherapy to be more accessible. I loved photographing it and I hope to see more inclusive design like this.

There are many ways to create a space that is inclusive so here are a
Need to keep the kids and pets out of the pantry? @creativedesigntherapy designed this kitchen with Dutch doors to do that while one person is prepping inside. Swipe to see how it works πŸ‘‰πŸ»
