I'm Dreaming of a White..... Kitchen!

Anyone who follows me on Pinterest knows that I.am.obsessed.with.white.kitchens! I adore everything about them! They are just so fresh, clean, and bright! We've lived in our apartment for just over a year now and I've come to realize that our kitchen is just plain dark. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the contemporary, sleek, dark cabinetry and all wood kitchens do create a nice cozy atmosphere but we have no natural light in our kitchen! So unless the sun is shining in just right, you can't see a thing without turning on the overhead florescent light (I shudder just thinking about it). We're just ready for a change! After scouring through numerous Pinterest pictures and home design blogs, we've settled on a look we love!

Here a few of our must haves for our new kitchen:
  • White wood cabinetry... obviously
  • Stainless steel appliances
  • Dark granite counter tops
  • Dark, rustic wood floors for contrast
  • Grey walls
  • A kitchen window... for that elusive light! 
And a couple items on our wish list...
  • A couple of glass front cabinet doors for displaying special serving pieces
  • Large crown molding 
  • A French door refrigerator... because while Spencer gets all excited about putting a built in gas line on the patio for a grill, a huge, fancy fridge makes make my heart go pitter patter! 
So without further ado, here are three kitchens that have all the aesthetics we love.

What's your personal style? Bright, white kitchens or cozy ones with lots of wood tones?

  1. I think I would change back to a white kitchen on my next house too. I've had cream, then white, and now cherry wood cabinets. I think it is time for a change too. White is so bright and clean looking - great choice!!!

    1. Hey. I like the idea of white cabinets. I think from your 3 pictures I like the 2nd and 3rd set up of the room. I like the style of the 1st and 3rd cabinents the best. I think being able to see the hinges on the 2nd picture takes away from the elegance that the white brings out. Sandra

    2. I love that you like the set up of pictures 2 and 3 the best because that's very similar to how our floor plan is set up! And agree with you about the hinges - thanks for your comment! I hope you're doing well!
