More Beautiful Cottage Kitchens...

I have quite the obsession with kitchens! I am in the process of rethinking how I want to redesign my kitchen... these pics are just a few inspiration pictures for me.. feel free to use them for your inspiration too!

FRESH!! I absolutely love this pantry. And what a brilliant way to utilize the pantry door as a huge "To Do List" chalkboard! The open cabinetry also adds visual appeal with beautiful dishes on display!

Fun. Daring. Thinking outside the box with color.

I absolutely love this kitchen. It radiates with cottage feel yet still allowing a fresh and somewhat modern look. I love the classic backsplash.

I love the open shelving for this kitchen! A perfect way to display the fabulous array of colorful dishes! I also love the roman shade. The pattern is elegant, but welcoming.

Fresh. Airy. Functional.

Love the arch above the stovetop. Again, love the backsplash. This kitchen is the classic cottage kitchen!

The clock is to die for! You can never go wrong with beadboard cabinetry.

Love the minty fresh wall color. Goes so well with the mahogany countertops. I wouldn't normally like these countertops, but it goes beautiful with the wall color and white cabinetry!

I could look at pictures of kitchens all day. I have to tell you that we put white subway tile up in ours over the holidays and I LOVE IT! It gives it such a clean and fresh look and as far as color goes, I think you know where I stand. Check out my latest post.

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

Great kitchens!! Like LeAnn I could look at them all day! What I love about my old cabinets is that I can repaint them any time I have a new idea (; My cabinets have been green, jadeite green, red, white, distressed black, cottage white, my husband says if the house blew down the kitchen would'nt because of all the paint on the cabinets, LOL, neither would the walls for that matter!!

Just lovely. I especially love the pantry in the first photo. If I had a pantry (maybe someday), this is exactly how I'd want it to look. The chalkboard paint on the door is too fun!

that is a great compilation of photos. i love the photo with the lavender chairs -- i think i have that in a magazine. very familiar. i love a pop of color here and there. i'm sure you will take a bit from each and combine them into a really spectacular kitchen. you have an amazing eye.

Inspiring pictures of some fabulous kitchens! Can't wait to see what you do...I'm planning a mini-renovation too but probably just paint and curtains this time around.

Thanks for sharing!

Great inspirational pics...we are getting ready to put our old kitchen back together, and funny enough, I have some of the same pics in my wish book! Best of luck. You'll have to post pictures when your project is complete.
