Hello! Hope you all had a great weekend. We headed down to Portland for a couple of birthday parties and just got home last night. It was a whirlwind trip, but it was so nice to reconnect with some friends we hadn’t seen in years.
So, today is the BIG DAY :-D. As I mentioned at the end of my kitchen update post on Friday, TODAY we are installing a surprise design element in our kitchen. There were so many good guesses as to what it might be in the comments, I read them all :)!
I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It’s time to let the cat out of the bag and reveal the surprise … as some of you might have guessed by now, we are installing a round window above our sink! I promise to go into more detail down the road on the decision to change out the window and all the ways I expect it to transform our space, but today I thought I would start by sharing some lovely inspiration photos featuring round (and some oval!) windows. Enjoy!
Happy Monday, friends.

What a lovely idea! I’m looking forward to seeing what yours looks like!

Literally jaw dropping! The combination of round window + round moon fence gate = awesome!
Yay! Thanks. Oh, and good memory on the gate :)
Love, love, LOVE! What a GREAT idea! Can’t wait to see it in your house!
I can hardly wait! :-D thank you. Have a great day, Sallie!
I kept thinking about your post about the “feature”. I was stumped about what could be going in “early” in the process. Now after reading this about your round window, I can see it! What a great idea!!
I bet it’s going to look wonderful! Can’t wait to see it. In a previous house, we had a round stained glass window in the guest bath that matched the stained glass in our entry door. I loved it.
So pretty! They immediately have me thinking of how you could mimic the look on a blank wall with a mirror, too. Looking forward to seeing yours!
So coastal!
What fun! It’ll be perfect in your home!
LOVE the round and oval windows! We are building and have already talked about incorporating them into our new bungalow! So exciting for you! It will look fabulous! :)
Whoa, that’s exciting news! Can’t wait to see the kitchen reveal. The round window will be such a gorgeous feature! I’ve been loving round mirrors for awhile now.
