Kitchen Crush!

When I saw this kitchen it almost made my heart stop, so I knew that it was a must share!

In all honesty, there is absolutely nothing I dislike about this kitchen...except that it's not mine!

Kitchen Crush

As my 3 year old would say, this is one "awesome and super cool" kitchen! 

The custom shape of the stove surround is genius and the herringbone pattern of the tile backsplash is the icing on that cake! The huge wood island is another favorite element and did I ever mention how much I love clear doors on a fridge!

There is really nothing I dislike about this kitchen....major crushing on the huge antique replica stove, the rivits around the cutout stove surround (I believe the material is metal), the flooring, the cabinetry surrounding the apron sink, and of course the focal point of the entire kitchen the glass ceiling! Yes, I would love to pick up this entire kitchen and plop it right into my dream home!

A Perfect Kitchen

This is what I would want in my perfect kitchen and it was discovered in a rather round about way.  While searching google images for photos of Thai spirit houses and trying to find examples of them used as decoration in home decor, I stumbled upon this wonderful kitchen.

of course this kitchen requires the right style of house...not plopping in into a mid-century modern, but for let's just say a great stone cottage or rammed earth cottage in the hill country of Austin, TX. (perhaps one day) it would be perfect. I adore the old butcher block island with the metal strapping, the large mortar and pestle, the shelving for your cookbooks & pottery (asian tea pots?), all the inspiration photos stuck to the wall in a haphazard way, the huge fireplace with the stacked wood and the great lighting.  The only thing I'd like is a larger farm table.

Love finding great inspiration....helps to keep the dream alive!
