We love mirrors for a variety of reasons over here at Kismet, but we love them even more when they are show-stopping, oversized works of art.  They instantly make any space appear larger and add an element of style to any room.  Lean them or hang them – either way, you can’t go wrong.  And […]

Kitchens are filled with a huge variety of “things” so the thought of embarking on an organization project is daunting. It doesn’t have to be, though! We have a few tips to give your kitchen goals some structure. Before you know it, you’ll have a kitchen set up to make Martha Stewart proud. The easiest […]

Guys.  SPRING. IS. HERE.  Can we all just take a moment to welcome warm weather (hopefully sooner rather than later!), longer days, and the resurgence of life into this world?  I don’t know about you, but after this long winter, I’m really looking forward to all three.  And speaking of looking forward to things, I’m […]

A dressing room doesn’t have to be an entire room necessarily, it can be a small designated area that works as an extension of your closet. Defining that staging area makes getting ready in the morning a more streamlined […]

Guys!  Today is our BIRTHDAY!  We launched exactly one year ago and it’s been a tremendously fun ride.  We’ve designed, we’ve shopped, we’ve blogged, we’ve posted, and we even got to have a few east coast/west coast reunions!  So really, we’ve done it all.  Here are a few highlights from one heck of a year.

Every room needs a statement piece and Jonathan Adler has no shortage of possible contenders. Bright colors, luxe materials and modern shapes, all the makings of a showstopper! We like to shop around, layering in pieces from a range of vendors, mixing high end worthy splurges with less expensive (but still beautiful) finds. And Jonathan Adler has […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be swooning over wood kitchen cabinets.  They can come off as a bit traditional, and sometimes heavy, and truthfully, sometimes remind me of the 90’s (DON’T GET ME WRONG — I love the 90’s, juuuuust not its cabinets). But […]
