Hi, happy Thursday afternoon. With all the spare time on my hands from being home sick, it’s giving me time to finish up various posts which I had started bu didn’t complete…until now! I haven’t done a kitchen post in a very<\/em> long time, I think it’s been years! So I am going to start a fun kitchen series just highlighting pretty kitchens, fun elements, materials that appeal to me, lighting, whatever goes. These posts will not have a particular theme other than a subject many of us enjoy, kitchens:)<\/p>\n

And since I am going to eventually be doing an entirely new kitchen, kitchens are very much on my radar. There are so many styles of kitchens, all of which I have\u00a0 a great appreciation for when done well. I for one, operate best in a light kitchen, I need light and airy to do my “best work” but I have surely seen a number of beautiful dark kitchens that are brilliantly executed.<\/p>\n

Today is a look at kitchens that I think work well for a whole host of reasons along with details that I particularly like. Hope you will chime in with your own comments as to what is important to you<\/em> in a kitchen. And here we go-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beautiful, open and inviting..great space! Reno Shope and Wharton<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What’s everyone thoughts on open shelving? I do like it in certain spaces but it would probably never work for me, however I think this shelf with a bit of a decorative element is very pretty, I ike how that they are “beefy” so they don’t look too delicate so to not be practical, Carol Reed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I actually really like this idea and may do this myself, love the idea of keeping all the appliances behind a conveniently located closed cabinet door, Amy Sklar<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thoughts on a white kitchen with a blue island? This pretty kitchen makes a strong argument for it! MMI Design<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pretty, white, bright and inviting,\u00a0 Pineapple Palms<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though a lot darker than I would personally ever opt for, this really is quite a striking kitchen!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another clever way to conceal,the microwave and builtin cappuccino\/espresso machine are behind a pair of cabinet doors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brass fixtures are a big deal right now, what are your thoughts? I think they are beautiful as shown here but I am more of a nickel person, Atlanta Homes Magazine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I always find myself on the fence with a two tiered island, one higher surface for cooking\/prepping and the other for seating…it sure seems to work beautifully in this pretty kitchen, thoughts?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is an interesting nook, love the fridge and the open shelves add a lot of interest but I wonder about the day to day practicality of such an arrangement, would you do this? House Beautiful<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love the idea for certain kitchens of large oversized wicker lanterns, think it’s a more casual look but so chic Kara Herbert<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I like this frosted glass design element, pretty wood tones too. Roux Macneil<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cromone bolt hardware is old school but still so beautiful!\u00a0 Steele Street Studios<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always thought it’s very practical to carve out a spot for a small desk if space allows, it’s just a matter of practicality and convenience, Harding and Co<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though this island is a brighter blue than I would ever imagine doing,\u00a0 I must say it looks gorgeous in this kitchen by Douglas Vanderhorn<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thoughts on glass paneled refrigerator doors? I actually like them a lot but am concerned it would become a part time job to be sure the fridge always looks in perfect order:)\u00a0 R Cartwright<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love how despite how grand this large scaled kitchen is, it still feels so inviting and intimate. The\u00a0 kind of kitchen that invites you right in, a space to cook in as comfortably as you could entertain a large group in! Reno Shope and Wharton<\/p>\n

Maybe you are in the the throes of designing a new kitchen yourself, would love to hear what’s important to. you. Or if you could design a new kitchen, what would be most important to include in your new kitchen? Do tell! Thank you for stopping by, wishing everyone a great day. Until next time….<\/p>\n
