Designs by Kara Kihm: Blue Dutch Oven

Colin and Merril are Absolutely one of our Favorite couples in Town. I just adore them and am so excited that they have recently started a blog "Blue Dutch Oven."

They are such a gregarious and fun loving couple and when ever I am with them, Colin and I are bound to be partners in crime! We just have way too much fun together!

I am excited to follow their new adventures in the kitchen and learn more about good cooking and delicious food! Let's face it, I need help in that department! Boys, I can't wait to one day know how to cook my own Thanksgiving feast! Love you Both!

What Inspires me...the things I love

I love anything from seersucker, star gazer lilies, and dragon flies, to starfish, and the beach. I got married on the beach and nothing is better than walking barefoot in the sand in your wedding dress! Pink in any shade is my favorite color. I am trying very hard to branch out, but I just can't get enough of it! Bright pinks, lights pinks, magentas, corals, hot pinks, salmons you name the shade I have something in my wardrobe in that color. My addiction to pink has been the challenge in my clothing line! I want everything to be pink with ruffles so I am working very hard to become more versatile. I love my dogs, they make me smile everyday. Lucile is a bouvier and Leonard is an SPCA speciality..... a pit beagle. My house is covered in yellow and blue and bright colors. Toile is my favorite decor for my home and it is found in nearly every room in some form. I think ruffles and bows on clothing are a must--the girlier the better! My house is covered in my monogram-from pillow cases to shower curtains, to glasses to towels, to clothing. My all-time favorite designer is Ralph Lauren but my go to for any occasion was always CK Bradley (We will miss her bright fun flirty dresses). Now that my favorite dresses are no longer all the more reason to start my new project. I LOVE nature and am always inspired when I am on the water. I grew up going to Smith Mountain Lake or to the beach in Beauford N.C most weekends. Anytime I am near the water I find a sense of peace. I love to travel and still believe to this day that if I went to visit Italy I would never come home! My favorite city is Boston, but Richmond holds a special place in my heart. I always have a camera on hand so that I can capture the moment. My goal is to do once nice thing for somebody else every single day...... Try it! The ultimate mode of communication is laugher. No body makes me laugh like my husband.
