Kitchen Inspiration

Well, I wasted the morning on Pinterest, but I’m glad that I did.  I am starting to get excited for my kitchen remodel that should be happening this spring.  So I typed “kitchen” into the search box on Pinterest and these are some of my favorites among the MANY pins that came up.

I love the rustic look, but I am leery about how easy this would be to clean.  My kids are little and the unfinished wood would collect crumbs and stickiness.

What I love about this one is the very basic cupboard, the ease of use – everything is in an arms reach, the open shelving.

Our whole home is very eclectic.  Nothing really matches.  I love how this kitchen is put together with handmade pieces that all serve a purpose.  And again, the open shelving.

This one is very open and bright.  Everything matches which would take time for me to do.  I think this kitchen would be very easy to clean.  And I like the drawers on the bottom.  I won’t have room for an island, I don’t think but I am hoping a peninsula.  The shelving by the chairs, will be perfect for each child to have a cubby, a place to put their stuff that gets scattered around the house.

I love the wood counter!  I think DH has a concrete counter in mind, and I’m okay with that too.  I love the colors, but have always wanted a yellow kitchen.  I know we plan to use tongue and groove type of wood for the cupboards, but I’m not sure if we plan to pain them, or to paint the walls.  I love the idea of having the mugs hanging.  This kitchen has too much stuff on the counter for my taste.  I prefer to have everything in a home and to have my counter space available as work space.

I love the white and the under the stairs!  So very simple.  I don’t know what the rest of the kitchen looks like and I know this wouldn’t work in my house, but when we retire, I would love to have just the very very very basics…

My kitchen sink is going to be under a window.  I love that!  I love the way the plates are stored, so close to the sink, for ease of putting away after washing.  I’m not thrilled with this sink though.  And the little shelf  under the winter is awesome!  I’m trying to decide if I want a concrete backsplash and counter, or just one or the other.

Again – the open shelving.  So easy to put stuff away, and to grab it when needed.  No doors to clean!  And incentive to keep the clutter at bay!

Simple.  White.  Drawers. Shelving. Large pantry (appears to be anyway).  Seats for kids near by.  I even like the steel blue coloring.

Again, with the rustic wood and concrete counter!  I love this combination.  The open shelving and the stacks of bowls.  I don’t like the pallet on the wall though.

I love this sink! And the drying rack.  I think my dishes would just live there.  I love the concrete, too.  And what a great use of the wall space at the end of the sink and counter.  Normally that space is wasted.  I love it!  I already have my sink chosen, though I think I’ll be repainting it.  It’s currently pink.

And I love this artwork.  I’m thinking of something a little more subway art.

 

In talking with my DH a couple of things I haven’t taken into account is the fact that I have 2 fridges.  But I am thinking I don’t want them BOTH in the kitchen.  And the amount of upper shelving I want may not be enough.
