STEAL THIS LOOK | KYLIE JENNER'S KITCHEN & LIVING ROOM

Kylie Jenner, 18, gave fans an inside look into her new $2.7 million mansion exclusively through her app and website with a tour of her kitchen, breakfast nook and living room. Like her momager Kris, Kylie's home decor is black and white, and like her sis Khloe, she meticulously arranges her cookie jars! Kylie has added some chic accessories to her home as well, so if you'd love to steal her home decor look, keep reading!

Kylie's Kitchen
Years ago I designed kitchens and baths for residential clients, so when I saw Kylie's high-end kitchen I knew I needed to break down the design for my blog!

Kylie (and likely her designer) chose a full-overlay, raised panel door for her kitchen in what looks like a painted ebony color. I love this look and have always wanted to have dark kitchen cabinets in my own home. To pull it off you have to have a lot of natural light. Selecting a lighter, contrasting shade for the countertops helps to also make the kitchen not look like a black hole!

Kylie's kitchen has high gloss, white countertops (great choice!) with a straight front edge that are likely a man-made stone. I've used something similar from Silestone (below) for clients and I love it. It's the look of natural stone minus the maintenance!



















Cabinet hardware is like the jewelry of the kitchen, and Kylie went with a brushed nickel square knob and matching pull, similar to these knobs available online for $8.76 (below).












And of course, her high-end kitchen needed high-end stainless appliances, like this fridge from Sub-Zero (below) that runs about $10,000.
























Fun accessories in her kitchen include "The Ex" knife block designed by Raffaele Iannello available online for $199, and oversized cookie jars similar to this one from The Container Store (both below).






































The overall look is glamorous with an edge!
Here's more Black & White Kitchen Design inspirations:


















Breakfast Nook
Just off of Kylie's kitchen is the breakfast nook that has an industrial/vintage feel with a round glass top table, surrounded by French style metal chairs. Restoration Hardware's "Remy Side Chair" is likely Kylie's, on sale for $99 (below).



















The lighting over her nook is shaped like intertwined X's with exposed light bulbs, similar to this "Nero Chandelier" (below) on sale from Restoration Hardware for $1605.



















Jonathan Adler's Dora Maar Urn, $395 (below), sits on top of her glass table.
I love this urn by Adler! It's inspired by Dora Maar, the French photographer, poet, and painter best known for being a lover and muse of Pablo Picasso.



















In her tour, Kylie said she recently added wallpaper to the ceiling of her nook, similar to this geometric grey wallpaper pattern (below) available online.



















Here's some Breakfast Nook inspiration with French metal chairs:















































Living Room














While the lip artwork in Kylie's living room may be one-of-a-kind (a photograph of Kylie's lips that will be the packaging for her new LipKit beauty line), the couch can be yours!

According to Kylie it's the "Cloud" sectional from Restoration Hardware in white (below). It ranges in price from $5675 - $15445 (on sale!).



















Like any glam girl, Kylie's couch is covered in furry pillows like these Faux Fur Ombre Pillows from Pottery Barn (below) $45.50.

















Modern wood cage pendants hang on either side of her couch adding texture to the space. Similar fixtures (below) can be found online.



















Of all the items in Kylie's home, I am obsessed with the coffee table in her living room! It's this stunning silver, hammered round table and I found a similar one online for $674 (below).



















And on that chic coffee table I'd put the same book Kylie has in her living room, Tom Ford (below) $95.













Here's some Living Room inspiration, all from one of my fav home decor stores Z Gallerie:




























After Kylie's house tour I can't wait to see the rest of the modern mansion! Tell me what you think of her design style, leave a comment below or let me know on social media.

VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR

This is my first post in a VERY long time, but now that my little one is almost two, I feel ready to get back to my blog and share my fav finds, design inspirations and all things TRES CHIC!

Lately I've been browsing YouTube before bed, watching makeup tutorials and getting up-to-date on the latest beauty buzz (e.g. lips a la Kylie Jenner, contouring, strobing and baking - makeup, not cookies). Although not all of these looks are for me, I am obsessed with the videos and their dramatic before and afters! Currently these YouTube beauty mavens are my Top Three in heavy rotation:

Stephanie Lange
I was drawn to Stephanie Lange's tutorials because she has cool toned skin like mine with pink undertones. Foundation shades that match my skin are super hard to find, as most are too yellow. So I figured I'd get some color tips and product recommendations from Ms. Lange! This professional makeup artist from Australia loves Guns N' Roses and Chanel (nice combo!), does an amazing job of camouflaging redness and acne, and she is super fun to watch!

Stephanie posts new videos three times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). Here's one of my favs, Flawless Foundation Routine:

NikkieTutorials
Nikkie de Jager's video The Power of MAKEUP! recently went viral and gained this makeup artist from the Netherlands a huge following. I love watching this down-to-earth glam girl (those are hard to come by!) and her user friendly techniques. Even Stepahnie Lange is a fan!

Nikkie posts new videos twice a week (Wed, Sun). Now check out why The Power of MAKEUP! has 21 million views and counting:

Carli Bybel
Bringin' it back state-side, Carli Bybel is a Jersey girl and Megan Fox look alike (hello gorgeous!). This professional makeup artist has been my go-to for contouring techniques and drugstore makeup finds. Her home-based "Beauty Room" where she films is unreal (and there's a video about it)! Carli jet sets between New Jersey and L.A. and blogs about fashion as well as makeup.

Check out one of my fav videos from Carli, How to Contour & Highlight | Drugstore Update:
