Kitchen Dreaming

I’ve been dreaming of my kitchen makeover yet again. Hoping to start our makeover before fall.  So as you guessed, I have been perusing the web for some inspiration. My kitchen is very small, mind you-I live in an old city, in an old house.  I am definitely a white-kitchen-kind-of-girl but welcome a splash of color. I love the cottage look although my house is a mix of motley furniture from yesteryear and today. I guess my style is a cross between midcentury, country and cottage. Can you even call that style?  I can’t make up my mind. I love the patina, grace, and quality of antiques. I see Pottery Barn and I want to buy out the store. I’m on craigslist and see an absurd deal on Heywood Wakefield and I’m drooling. Anyhoo, I digress.  I was dreaming of kitchens.

    really great pics .. you and short southern mama have the same ideas today. Ah to have a dream kitchen, I have my dream kitchen from 3 years ago, I am so over it, and am looking forward to our hacienda kitchen make-over in Arizona….ah to dream.

  3. SB says:

    LOL. I just checked out short southern mama for the first time. We are kindred! I see we even like the same colors!

  4. It’s Jenny here, thanks so much for commenting on my blog! I’m glad you found me too! We seem to be living in parallel universes… we are about to remodel our kitchen too (we’ve been “about” to remodel since last spring :-( ). We have the same vision. White walls, farm sink, hardwood floors. Oh I can’t wait!
    So glad I was led to your blog! Have a great day.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier today – I really love the look of white on white kitchens but for me, a light colour was more practical so we went with a honey maple cabinet and flecked taupe counters with mid-tone beige floors… I use blue and red as my accents!
    Good luck with getting your kitchen makeover started!

    You can call any combination of styles a style. It is. And there’s no reason to narrowly define yourself into a single category. As for your style, I love it. Kitchens always cause my heart to race a little faster, but the ones you chose are absolutely divine. The third and the sixth are my favorites. I’m saving them to my inspiration folder now.

  8. Lovely kitchens. :) Thank you so much for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. I’m still trying to get a handle on SITS. Do you have any tips on maneuvering their site and being a good SITSta? Thanks.

    Best wishes,
    Brook

  9. I love your kitchen ideas!

  10. Joyce says:

    All these kitchens are lovely. I can’t decide which I like the most. Maybe a combination of all?

  11. Whoa…these really lifted my spirits this morning! I am LOVING all your pics, but 3 4 and 5 have captured my heart! Good stuff! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet words! xoxo

  12. Love these kitchen ideas! I am crossing my fingers that ours gets redone next year (after our basement project!) All of these pictures are so pretty!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hi! Hope you don’t mind I’m now following along!

  13. Bree says:

    I LOVE those kitchens! So bright and cheery! Hopefully I can have a kitchen like that someday.

    Thanks for stopping by and welcoming me to SITS!

  14. I love your style! My faIvorite is the third from the bottom. I really like those cabinets.

  15. All the photos you included are too pretty!! I wish I could have any one of them!! Hope you get your dream kitchen too.

  16. oh i love the white/cream/light color kitchens too.. love the pics, especially kitchen #2 & #5
    gorgeous!

  17. Joey says:

    Those are some beauties. I did notice one had wood countertops. I put those in my last house and found them to be a nightmare to maintain. Just thought I’d put that in for your consideration! :)

  18. I love the old farmhouse style sink– I think they’re beautiful and oh-so-useful. But while I love the idea of glass-plated cabinets in *theory*, in actuality, my cupboards are far too messy/crowded/disorganized for me to want anyone to be able to see into them at all times!

    Your comment on my blog about telling DH you were pregnant made me laugh… men are so dense sometimes!

    Thanks for stopping by my part of the world!

    I so have kitchen envy… mine is hideously early 90s and everytime I see a lovely, sparkling, stylish kitchen I feel pangs of jealousy!

  20. Mmmmmm – loving those photos. It hurts to look. My kitchen makeover is years away.

  21. Love those kitchens! Thanks for stopping by and following you back!
