Kitchens: From Country to Stainless Steel Modern

“Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavour.” 

                                                            --William Cowper

Here is a true variety of Kitchen designs.  They are all gorgeous.

 Sweet country kitchen nook:

THIS is awesome! 

 Dual refrigerators with freezer drawers,

 Undercover as a lovely Hutch:

Love that. Oh, yes.

Happy happy happy!

So many excellent choices, so little time...

Have a great day!

Irresistible!!!! :

NY designer Howard Slatkin renovated his Fifth Avenue apartment. His kitchen:

                                                         Swanky, glamorous with "country" touches:

  The sink and  cabinets are gorgeous!

  So chic~

 Kristen Buckingham --  What's not to like?!

I would love to live here:

I feel the romance of this room...I hear a French accent...

I like the hardware, stainless steel and cabinetry,

 including the white cabinetry around the lovely wood tone:

    And this is SO lovely and memorable~
    From the Coastal Cave House of French Designer Alexandre de Betak:

     Cool, chic, relaxed luxury~

Kitchens: Endless Choices, So Much to Love!

I am obsessed with kitchens lately. Mine needs a few serious updates.

With so many new materials out there (like Enameled Lava Stone!!!), and with some exciting new ways to mix it all up, it's hard to commit to just ONE kitchen. Sigh.  I'm longing for part of or ALL of each kitchen below:

OK, WOW.

I am seriously wanting this enameled Volcanic Lava Stone, .

  I might go for it in a Brown:

It's like a fantasy eye-candy store to look at these kitchens with the various types of wood, stainless steel, granite, glass, lava stone, shelving, paint colors...flooring...it's like I said the other day on my post about cabinetry: 
I am in AWE of all kitchen designers!!!!!


Have a great day~

Repins: Rhyme or Reason?

Do you know Pinterest? 

It is highly addictive, extremely easy to use, and so much fun!

I haven't figured out why some of my absolute DREAM favorites get ignored while others that I find to be simply nice are wildly popular. Figuring out what Other people might like is a science that hurts my brain to think about. So I'll just show you what people are really liking: 

I get repins on these first two every single day

 Anyone who repins this  finds that it gets more and more repins...viral.

And then  certain Bedrooms seem popular--

"Now THAT is Industrial"

Re-purpose those old bottles!

And now I must continue my addiction to pinning....

All images were, of course, via my Pinterest boards.

  I pin a LOT, so there is LOTS to see. There is some amazing stuff...check it out!
