Hello, my friends! I have a lot going on right now so I'm not about to begin a renovation but I saw this photo and it reminded me of what I'd like to do with our kitchen. It's about the same size as ours, (but we have only one window)...and of course we'd have to finally knock down the wall between the kitchen and living room to put in an island....(mine would have an aged wood base with a white quartz top.) But, it'll have to wait until there's more free time!
Meantime....if you want to join in on my film's marketing research and fill out this quick, 7 question survey, that would be great! Here's the link to click on or cut and paste to pass it on!

Wow! Kitchens
I can hardly stand the beauty of these kitchens!
When I was in design school at F.I.T, I have to admit-- the last room I cared about designing was the kitchen. I had no interest and every project reflected that. Now (and maybe because I've recently learned how to properly cook) I do believe I could live in a kitchen... well, a kitchen like one of these.
The photo above with the pop of red and the gray lower cabinets is killer. And that hood range? Oh.. my heart.

Beautiful wood floors and a country island on wheels is fab.
Ah.. the picnic table and bench resurfaces to make this cozy, but what really got me was the black trimmed doors!
Wood beams high in the sky? Oh, yeah-- I'm there!
Why is this on my fav list? Um... a cozy sofa in the kitchen will do it every time.
Charming colors, interesting ceiling and wood floors!
A galley kitchen never looked so good and that kind of focal point makes it a winner.
How do I love thee pantry, let me count the bowls.

Eat in kitchens
i mISs THis !!
I really do miss an eat in kitchen. It's so charming, warm, inviting, yeah--like I said...missing it. Growing up we did everything at the kitchen table...homework, debates, sewing, science projects (yeah, that erupting volcano needed some space to flow, baby-flow!). A lot of people these days are opting for the island with stools and as much as I love that and it certainly is a space saver, if I had an eat-in-kitchen, I'd choose a table and chairs instead. Do you love it? Hate it? Bring back memories? Do tell...Photos: Pinterest and House Beautiful Magazine

Kitchen LOVE
If you love kitchens, like I love kitchens...(yeah, I'm singing --in case you were wondering) well, if you do then you're gonna just love these photos. They all have the clean lines I adore. And my fav thing, which is varying the wood/paint colors in the cabinets and island so things aren't so matchy-matchy. I can smell the banana bread baking already...

After having so many house guests and dinner parties, I found myself in the kitchen more than usual. Check out some of the beautiful kitchens that make me want to gut my kitchen or move!

Kitchen Love-Li-Ness
Jack Arnold collection from Bentwood Kitchens
I've been doing more cooking lately and if you know me you know that's kind of unusual! I'm performing less on the road and more in the tri-state area so I'm able to finish some writing projects. Since I'm home more I find myself enjoying more homemade meals and I'm enjoying them even more since I'm off sugar and white flour. I'm into making my homemade goat's milk yogurt and baking with almond flour or pecan flour and honey-have you ever tried banana bread with almond flour and honey??...amazing! Even my dog is surprised by the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. And confused. I used to rarely go in there and now she follows me all day long because she knows I'm going to drop something or a pot will spill over. (Did I mention I am not the neatest cook? Sure, I try to wash each pot or dish as I use them but pffff-- that doesn't last long.) Looking at these kitchens is making me really hungry. You?
Benches are really cozy and you rarely see one at the counter. This one has been customized to accommodate the counter height. That pot-filler sure comes in handy, but when I can't get to the gym I count on the heavy lifting to sub for 3 sets of 10 reps with 8lb wts. (I can hear some of you laughing at that. I already know I'm a lightweight or as the guys at the gym say: a girly weight trainer).
These are so beautiful I want to put a chain on them and wear them as a cameo necklace... or eat them. No, I'd rather eat them. And then, yeah I'll think about up-ping to 10lb wts. Yeesh.
I always love when the kitchen island or work table is a different wood finish or color than the cabinets. If you do nothing else in the planning, this one thing screams custom. And it makes me want to bake some pies (with almond flour of course).

And of course, my sort of comfort foods.
I found this over at Brooke Giannetti's lovely Velvet and Linen blog. She's a talented designer on the west coast and this is one of her projects. It has so many beautiful details: Fluted farmhouse sink, Calcutta slab counters, glass cabinet doors... You can see more photos from her blog.
See, now that chandelier makes the room.
