So as my house decisions continue to mount and I try very hard to not be overwhelmed….I am pacing myself and keep repeating my mantra “you will take it one day at a time”. So now that my kitchen is in the works, I am feeling a little relieved. I am going with the ever so popular creamy white cabinets, but doing a huge black island, and topping everything with my favorite marble, Calcutta gold, I will be sure to do an ogee edge and make it as thick as my pocketbook will allow! I am getting an ILVE range stove, (pictured above in navy however I am doing mine in black with polished brass accents) which is made in Italy and quite good looking. I am putting a gorgeous limestone french hood above it which is being done by Francois and Company. They also make fabulous fireplaces, mantles and hoods in addition to many other incredible limestone creations. Below is a sampling of some of the pictures that have given me a lot of ideas!
Here I just like the light with the dark contrast
A black range adds lots of panache to a kitchen
Beautiful colorways, love the creaminess of the cabinets
Think the green with the dark island is very nice, not crazy about the floor however
Doing my butlers pantry either in very dark wood like this one with the white marble or black
Stunning butlers pantry
Another view..tres chic!
Love the height of the ceiling, scale of the room and creamy cabinet color
Beautiful, love the tall ceilings, light in the room and the feeling that is cozy though grand
Love the marble with the dark island and dark range
Very beautiful gray kitchen..gray is huge this year!
More beautiful old floors…..
Great feeling to the kitchen, very warm and well done
Love the gray blue island with the dark le cornue range..wow!
This is from Cottonwoods showroom in NYC, very beautiful
More Cottonwood kitchens, gorgeous!
I am having my Paris Ceramics reclaimed floors, which I think will make the kitchen. I have a lot of pictures that I have used over time for my divine inspiration, so here are some of my all time faves.
Great round up of images! I am in the search for the perfect marble countertop for my kitchen. Like you, I am leaning towards calacatta gold – but a subtle pattern if possible. Would love to see the slab that you picked out!
Seems like we have similiar taste! I will definitely post pictures of the slabs once they have been selected…this particular stone has gotten very expensive so I will have to choose carefully!
I really love this blog so far! I agree that the choice of marble is very beautiful. I enjoy creamy white cabinets but prefer a white antique look. You can see it in the link below. http://savagecabinets.com/sav/index.php

I adore marble in the kitchen … I am also going with creamy white cabinets and Marble countertops but but haven’t decided between carrera and calacatta

Renovating our kitchen too, I have a box filled with inspiration tearsheets and images taken from the net.
So many choices!
What made you chose the ILVE? I am considering the La Cornufe…again, so many choices!
Great photos!

Wow, this gives me an idea for my kitchen someday! Just noticed that cream color seems your favorite, me too! neat and elegant.
