Just as I melt in the face of perfectly packaged pastel Laduree macaroons, I swoon over the soft and girlish home of gallery owner Katie Ukrop featured in August’s Domino.
The look of Ukrop’s row house in Virginia is bright and soothing -- like an elegant and dainty salon fit for any Marie Antoinette seeking a moment of respite.
Although a gorgeous home through and through, the kitchen is probably my absolute favourite with its white-washed cabinetry, stunning breakfast table and fabulous gas stove.

It’s all so warm and delicate that I cannot imagine a hetero-male living happily here without intermissions of some grit and gryme --- indeed as I suspected, her husband spends a lot of time in the detached alley garage with his big TV…sounds like someone else I know who lives with all women
