First of all the kitchen was tiny in the original design so with the help of a local architect and general contractor we pushed it out in two directions. This left room for a lot of cabinets and a huge island with seating for 6. The Wolf gas range, huge built-in refrigerator, hidden dishwasher and dishwasher drawers, refrigerated drawers, pot filler and gorgeous faucet make this a chefs dream gourmet kitchen.

With a lot of decor details purchased from Anthropologie it has an eclectic feel. The cabinet designers did an amazing job mixing clean classic white cabinets around the perimeter of the kitchen with a custom island that feels like it was imported from Europe and the space built around it. Check out more details and details on what and where I bought it on my blog:

I found wire initial frames at Anthropologie last year, so I got a J, G and B since those are the initials of everyone in my house.

I wrapped the wire frames with sturdy wired ribbon, and then filled the inside with a layer of damp peat moss, another layer of a sand/soil mixture, then a top layer of damp peat moss. I wrapped green floral wire around it all to keep it in place.

Then I used the end of a pen to make a hole where I stuck the roots of the succulents into the soil. I attached a hanging ribbon at the top, and let them lie flat for a few weeks while the roots took hold. After a few weeks they were ready to hang.

This was such a fun project, and I absolutely love the way they turned out. If you'd like a LOT more info and step-by-step photos, please check out my full tutorial here: http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2011/05/su...
