I have major guilt issues with my blog right now. For all of you great people out there who visit this poor abandoned blog on a daily basis, I'm so sorry. When I do post something, it's a load of self help quotes and maybe you're like, "words again, I'd love something pretty to look at".
SO....to make it all better I give you, "Making Love in the Kitchen, I mean Lunch. Part 11.
I made it extra special just for you.
Enjoy, Heidi

I love how the cabinetry looks like real furniture and there is a window full of light at the sink.

Very timeless, I have a hard time trying to see how this will become a dated look in the future when it looks like it could be 100 or more years old already.

Not only does adding the curtain under the counter only makes this kitchen have that old world style, but it is a super great way to save some $$ and you can change it on a whim.

Another example of how a curtain gives an old world look, the brick floor helping out as well.
I love the food in the glass canisters, there is nothing more distracting than commercialized labels out in the open.

This one is my favorite curtain example, the marble sink and window are a plus.

LOVE this kitchen so much. The high ceilings and antique unpainted wood furniture, plus happy sun beams shining into the room filling it with light.

Big windows again at the sink and lots of wood and stone, very nice touch of black or dark gray seems to ground the room

Holy moly, I love this kitchen so much. The bleached wood shutters doors has done me in.
I love the crisp white and the pale bluish grey cabinetry and doors. It has the perfect balance of new and clean paired with old world charm. Thank you Carol, I can now die a happy woman.

I love this small kitchen, it reminds me of another, I once loved. Oh yeah, this one.

Lots of clean light flooding through the windows here, but I wonder if I would still love this kitchen as much if that huge wonderful basket was gone?

Unable to find source of image, please let me know if you know.
I love it all, unless those are Formica counter tops. Lets just say that they are marble or some sort of rock. The baskets are a nice touch to break up the same ole same old drawers, plus adds some charm.
I love the metal open shelving, design of the wood floors and use of black. Lets not forget about the huge window in front of the sink. Looks like we are finding a pattern.

It's amazing what feet on a cabinet can do.

Feminine and masculine balanced with a touch of Goth.
The pictures on the range hood bother me. I would also make the island a raw wood with a dark honey and aged patina.

Three words for a great look, Wood Range Hoods.

Oak range hoods, loving the look and the little detail at the toe kick. I did this in my kitchen and the only thing I hate is that stuff gets in that little nook and you can't just sweep it out. It's not bad enough to get rid of the detail.

Wow! This one is home in the country (bush). I'll take it.

My Boho Chic is showing, I need to tuck that back in. Pretty saucy don't you think?

Here we have all sorts of white with collections. What really makes it work is the baskets and open shelving, it makes the space feel very accessible. Flooded with light is key too, but if you have a dark kitchen, just remember that there is probable a guy outside of this window with a light plant, shining it in just for this shot.

Funny, it seems like I've seen this room before....
Oh yeah. I did a post about it here.
