1584eastmoreland.com Midtown Memphis home for sale!

I haven't blogged in...well, years.  It's been a busy year!  I've been wanting to get back on here for a while, if anything just to have a place to post some thoughts and fun stuff.  Perfect timing - important yet terrible news:  my favorite sushi place of all time is closing.  Do, in the Cooper Young area of Memphis, will be closing this weekend.  Apparently the owner, who also owns Beauty Shop next door, is closing it to start something new in it's place.  I am guessing she will just expand Beauty Shop into that area (they already share a kitchen and bathrooms) but who knows.  Nothing can be as good as Do!  It was the most unique sushi place in Memphis, very small and quaint, a few tables, curtains, couches, sushi bar....beautifully decorated and awesome rolls.  My favorites were always the BLTA roll and Strawberry Kona roll.

If you like the place be sure to get over there this weekend or else you're out of luck!

French doors

Something I really love and wish I could have are usable french doors on my house. (Note: I actually DO have french doors on my house...but...) I love the idea of opening them up and letting a rush of air into the house. Of course, living in Memphis having anything wide open like this is a bad, bad idea. Not only would the air rush in, but a herd of bugs as well :) But in the right setting, it would be nice to be able to use them. I also like the way they look, more classy than the typical screened sliding door that most people are forced to use here instead.

Random kitchen pic

This is one of my favorite kitchen inspirations. Although it's nothing fancy and obviously a pretty small kitchen, I like it because - well, it resembles MY kitchen. It's something that I could totally pull off at my house with little effort.




I already have white cabinets. I would just need to add a backsplash - and although I do like the white subway tile here, I'm not sure if that would be my#1 preference. White subway tile seems more like a bathroom tile to me.

Regardless, I have also been wanting to purchase stainless appliances for my kitchen. Not because I am on the "stainless bandwagon" (ahem) but because I think they look best in small kitchens like this. My current black appliances are too heavy for a small kitchen, they stand out and are the first thing your eye is drawn to when you walk in. Stainless would blend in better, and also reflect light which is important in a smaller kitchen.

The countertops look like some sort of stone or quartz maybe...less expensive but they still look very nice. I think granite is again too heavy for small kitchens and completely unecessary.

Overall I just love this kitchen and with a few tweaks I think I could get mine to look strikingly similar.

Landscaping ideas

For whatever reason I've been in a decorating/home renovation mood lately. I saw this house for sale in Memphis a while back (still for sale) and I fell in love with the landscaping and the outside of the house. I'd love to have my home this exact color and have landscaping just like this. Without giving away the exact address, it's on Philwood in the High Point area. My little house is very similar to this in structure, so I honestly think I could make mine looks eerily similar if I tried. Just need the $$$ !
