Anna Maria Horner is a multitalented artist who designs colorful housewares, gift items, and textiles.
Her sewing book Seams to Me is coming to bookstores this fall. I asked her if I could show you guys her colorful kitchen makeover, and she agreed.
Take a look!
Anna Maria Horner’s Colorful Kitchen
She transformed her kitchen into something warm, colorful, and inviting:
Peek outside the window and you’ll find her daughter reading in the sunroom:
The sunroom is a lot of fun, too. We might as well have a look around!
I love her colorful artwork and pillows:
Seams to Me is Anna Maria’s new book coming out in October:
Anna Maria lives in Nashville with her husband and five children.
Be sure to check out her beautiful blog.
Man, Anna Marie does NOT look old enough to have five children, and HOW does she get all that work done too?! I can’t do even a fraction of all that with only three little ones harrassing me.
Her house is awesome. She apparently has no problem picking paint colors, right? I like hoe it looks like she made sort of a built-in-hallway kind of thing around the doorway–if that made ANY sense. Now I need find something to paint bright blue.
Oh, and love the chandeliers.
Have fun on your trip.
Love all the bright colors and the light fixtures.
Hope you enjoy your vacation!
I was just reading about how to make those great painted fabric graphics she has on her wall. There’s a tutorial about it here:

I love the blueish-green tiles in the back splash!
Oh…THAT is a home chock FULL of persoanlity and pizazz!! Love it! What a transformation!
Hava a great Vaca…relax, refresh, re group……
I’ll miss you. Have a great vacation!
Have fun on vacation.
I’m so glad you featured this, Julie. Anna Maria’s style is so gorgeous — mixing all those colors and patterns and having it come out looking whole. If I had that kitchen, I think I’d make risotto every night, just so I could stir quietly for 30 minutes, taking in the space. And then I’d go eat it on the porch. 🙂
Have a wonderful vacation.
I love it! I want that fabric on the chairs in the kitchen. She did a great job!
That’s it! I need Anna Maria to decorate my pink tiled bathroom! I’ve been a long time fan of her house, I really enjoyed seeing these. Have fun on your vacation!
Wow – what a difference color can make! Great showcase!
Wow – it’s gorgeous! I am so covetous, I even like the shirt!
Have a super vacation.
What a cute and colorful house she has. Have a wonderful time on vacation & rest up.

What a makeover. It’s very bright and happy. I am very interested in purchasing her book.
Now that is a happy place. Love it. Thanks for showing us.
Hopefully now you are sleeping in somewhere, enjoying some well-deserved r&r!
That’s a nice kitchen make over.
I REALLY like the blue doors, though. That’s evokes images of walking into the kitchen from le potager, fresh herbs in hand…

The staging show was boring.
Assistant stager wants to be an actress.
Drama about cow hide ottoman that went from MB to pool room.
I loved seeing this post! We have an enclosed porch on our house and have been trying to decide what to do with it. I really like her use of color in hers without it being overdone. PS: This is my first comment, but I’ve been reading your blog for months and I love it!
I adore Anna-Maria Horner’s fabrics…and the way she has redone her kitchen/dining space shows how truly talented she is.
I’m really enjoying looking through your blog as well, thank for sharing…I have house envy now!! 😀
The bright colors are so happy and funky.
