Leslie's Whimsical, Candy-Colored Kitchen Kitchen Spotlight

Now this is not a kitchen you see everyday. Leslie's cheery pink-and-turquoise kitchen is inspired by her home city of Los Angeles, which she calls "the land of make believe." As she tells Apartment Therapy in a recent House Tour regarding her love for Los Angeles: "Say you want to live in a witch's house, or a sleek glass box, or the turret of a castle, there are plenty to choose from." Clearly Leslie has chosen to live in Candy Land, and if she promises to let us dine on her fabulous patio, then we'll live there, too!

Love the wallpaper!

Lovely use of space, although it's only doable with the outdoor area. So nice that she can use that to expand on her footage. The wall paper is interesting but a bit too busy for my taste. My first thought was, although the furniture was placed nicely...everything seemed so cluttered. And where is the storage? I didn't see any closets...does she own any clothes? She has that nice blue secretary but my hunch was that her wardrobe couldn't be stored there. Oops, missed the curtains hung from the ceiling...this must be the wardrobe area. Very clever and attractive. As far as the rest of lack of storage, it doesn't exist...so that's why she has everything out on display. All in all, she's done a wonderful job in such a tiny space.

I LOVE these colours.
