I love all these pictures, I’d take any one of them if someone else was willing to do the work– and if I had the money for it! I wish I could redo my kitchen, but my mother in law gave me almost everything in it and my husband and I can not bear to see it go..

Marble and old wood, tiles, a lot of white, the combination of modern and old- I thought you might like this kitchen.

The glove mold really grabs me! Ha pun intended. Actually it did make me take a second look. I guess you could say that it is a one of a kind kitchen appliance

wow. i’m in the middle of trying to plan my kitchen reno as well. It’s funny i have alot of the same photos as insparado…and now i have some new! the thing i’m most excited for is a larger sink that UNDERMOUNT! omg the amount of yucky grossness that’s probably trapped under that little lip of a drop in sink completely freaks me out! i’m thinking of a nice clean mostly white kitchen (dark cabs on bottom whit to the ceiling cabs) with some open shelves on one wall. thanks for the great ideas!

It’s funny that you’re fantasizing about these kitchens, because I think yours is just as nice — actually, maybe even better. Of course, I wouldn’t know about the sink being too small from photos.

I recently saw an absolutely amazing kitchen that used Ikea cabinets. They used the white lacquer ones and had miles of thick white marble on top and for the backsplash. It was in the rear parlor of a Victorian row house and the fireplace opposite was wood painted gray. One of the owners is an architect. I saw it on the Bed Stuy house tour. The whole house was a wonderful mix of old and modern. You would love it.

I have so many things to say about this post! I found your blog last winter when my friend commented on this photo of my kitchen and its similarity to yours, only in reverse colors. I’ve been reading ever since.

Next, I just picked up the Woods wallpaper, also in the negative colorway (silver on black) for the wall at the top of my stairs…I’ve seen it everywhere for so long but the black is really fresh, it’s not even on the Cole & Son website, so I’m justifying it! (plus it was free, left over from a coworker’s living room).

I’m actually in the middle of painting my stairs right now, which will be white leading up to the black tree wall. But in my last rental before we bought this place, I did this with some leftover vinyl from a project at work.

Lastly, I totally just used that Heath Tile photo as a concept image for a design project at the office! LOVE!

Oh, I lied about “lastly”…one more thing: have you seen the Viola Park kitchens if you’re into green with your wood and contrasting cabinets? TDF. http://violapark.com/

I have that tree wallpaper in my entrance hall, and I’ve never got bored of it since putting it up a year ago. It gives a lovely calm vibe as you walk through the door after a long day.

I’ve been working in a 1909 house in a bad 50′s remodel kitchen (and bathroom) for 3 years. I have hundreds of paper and digital photos of the dream kitchen. Love these!

I think the last one fits your house so perfectly. Someone must have been sneek peeking at Door 16!

I was exclaiming over these photos, and my boyfriend made the mistake of asking what I was cooing about. I then showed him all the photos of your painted floors, and he had to remind me that we rent an apartment with carpeted floors. One day, though, I swear…

I LOVE your unfancy kitchen post, and have gone back to it countless times as I struggle to build my own simple, functional, budget kitchen. Thank you for the inspiration. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with!

I feel for you and that tiny sink. I’m SO close to finishing the sink side of our little galley. Since you guys are such good DIYers I thought I’d share my experience with semi-diy stainless counters (where you build the wood tops, take them to a metal shop to be wrapped in stainless then install them yourself). This brought stainless into our price range, and as a lifetime restaurant worker, stainless was my only choice.

Ha, just coming to comment about Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers! Size-wise (and looks-wise) they would be perfect but I can’t comment as to reliability.

We definitely have to agree with Jacqui Bennetts. We hope you check out our DishDrawers. http://bit.ly/2CLRsM Great blog post.

Nothing wrong with dreaming!I am always dreaming about a new kitchen…& we have only had this house 3 years…But we chose the “nicest” & plainest one for our budget at the time, & o course my taste has totally changed…One part of me thinks “just be grateful for this lovely kitchen…” – & the other part of me yearns for a beautiful, white kitchen!! Especially when I look at lovely magazines or blogs!
Take care
