Divine Kitchen Details

Kitchens are so easy to fall in love with.

So many details to choose from, and so many options to play with to get it just YOUR style.

In this post I will be pointing out some fabulous details. For instance, this kitchen has the most beautiful black cabinetry. Look at the trim work in the glass upper cabinet doors; this makes them more like china cabinets than plain old kitchen cabinets. Let’s face it, they had to have something a bit more elegant next to that stove hood. Did you notice the spice racks made into the hood? I also love the different tile patterns used on the backsplash. My favorite, subway tile, is used under the majority of the space and under the stove hood they have created a diamond pattern. That pot-filler is really special too. But only consider adding one if you will actually use it. They are very costly to install.

Did you also notice, that is not a table there to the left, they raised the island a few inches higher to create the effect of a table and added taller, and GORGEOUS bar stools. I love how elegant, yet cozy this kitchen is. Oh, and check out the chandelier! FAB.

Talk about details! In order to make this room appear taller they have painted the ceiling boards white and have taken the white plates all the way up. Also, they kept the color of the door the same as the walls to make the room appear larger. When the paint color stops at the doors, it breaks up the room. Having the vertical set of white frames also draws your eyes up! Love this kitchen…

Have I ever confessed my love of a booth in the kitchen? That’s another post for sure!

I love this pale green color and how they kept some doors off and some with glass doors. Love the open shelf over the sink for collectibles too. There is also bead board inside the open cabinet and on the island to tie the room together. Did you notice the subway tile? I do love subway tile….

Wow! Look at the open window over this cook top. Using BIG features is the way to go in this open room. Anything smaller would get lost! See how they have used similar slate on the floor and the wall around the stove…nice.

And this…there is woodwork from floor to ceiling, and it is gorgeous! Keeping it white opens up the room, and gives it a clean, crisp feeling. They have balanced the darker woods on the countertop and floors. It’s beautiful! What I would give for that sink….

Have I ever confessed my love of a black-and-white floor? This floor is actually painted wood slats. Right up my alley.

The restaurant style island is not my “usual” style, but I would LOVE to cook in this kitchen. Look at the light fixtures, they are perfect here with the giant stainless steel countertop. This looks like easy breezy clean up.

Now, I am sorry if I offend…but I could NOT cook in this kitchen. I am not a fan of pink anything. This sort of reminds me of an old laundry mat. If you are reading this and it is your kitchen, I sincerely apologize. I could see baking cupcakes here; with sprinkles, and cherries, but not gourmet cooking.

To me this is one of the most beautiful kitchens ever. I go from one end of the spectrum to the other, literally. My favorite is at the end of the post. We are getting there. Be patient.

I love how crisp this room is. No drapes, and the only color is from natural items. It is elegant, whimsical, and warm all at the same time.

Is this not the coolest idea ever? Taking out a drawer and installing closet rod brackets with a simple dowel rod would make this possible. Who couldn’t do this little project? Love it!

This kitchen is extra fabulous, really. It is in my top 10 kitchens that I have EVER seen. I am not crazy about the fabric choice on the stools, but it works well with the toile on the drapes, and it really pops off of the green cabinetry.

 This is Misti’s most favorite kitchen EVER.

When I saw these pictures my mouth fell open, and hit the table. I have never seen a kitchen that had so much of what I would want.

I love the mix of stained cabinets, the yellow island, and the large white built-in off to the side. The drawer pulls are stunning, the range is to die for, and the accessories could not be more perfect. I love how they have large, heavy oil paintings attached to the UNBELIEVABLE walls of crackling cement, broken bricks, and stone.

Did you notice the details on the ceiling? There is more texture in this room than I have ever seen. I am blown AWAY. They have added copper pots as well adding to the excitement of this room.

This is the ultimate kitchen space for me. The pot rack is charming, as is the black chalkboard in the corner; love the heavy gold frame. They have balanced the white cupboard with the plate rack full of large white dishes.

This is just a phenomenal kitchen. If you, by chance, are the designer of this room, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU.

Thanks for letting me swoon over this room. The minute I saw it I knew I had to blog about it.

I would love to know your favorite style of kitchen.

What would make you want to linger all day- because you want to, not because you have to?
