Pastry with Jenn

After ogling at the colorful and quirky kitchens from Because I Said So, I knew I had to post Meryl Streep’s character’s kitchen from It’s Complicated.  If I had to pick a dream kitchen this would be it.  Of course I say that until Nancy Meyer comes out with another romantic comedy with an amazing design I’m sure I’ll want.

Equally as charming as her daughter’s kitchen, these are a few favorite things from Daphne Wilder’s cooking space and home.

With Mother’s Day coming up, I was reminded of the movie, Because I Said So, starring Diane Keaton as Daphne Wilder, the overbearing mother to daughter Milly Wilder, played by Mandy Moore.  It’s not my all time favorite romantic comedy but I find myself re-watching because both the mother and daughter, cake artist and caterer respectively, have really colorful and inviting kitchens that I would love to have.

Take a look at Milly’s culinary spaces.

Teaching a cooking class in her work kitchen for her catering company, Good Enuf to Eat.  I love the orange and lime striping that go across the room.  I also noticed the colors get picked up as well in the grated cheese and herbs on the chopping boards.
