culinary oasis
I've been saving lots of images of kitchens lately, I don't know why, but it's possibly due to the fact that ours is tiny. I dream of having a big kitchen where everybody can hang out. This one in particular I love - the all white and stainless steel is very nice. It makes for a clean look. The only thing I would change is the light fixer. I envision something bigger and a little more rustic. What do you think?Photo by Per Gunnarsson

Really, sometimes the tiniest of kitchens can be brought back into the light of charm, simply by having a good scrub down...inside and out.
My general rule, is to ditch the upper cupboards, and replace them with open shelves, and a collection of your most favored plates, that actually get used and loved daily.
The other is, everything below the waist (counter) gets a dark color, and all above the waist (counter) gets to stay in the bright white.
And, Yes...lighting must be placed with intention.
These three easy changes, will alter any kitchen into a bigger, brighter, major player.
Cheers!
Yes, I do love white in a kitchen, as long as it has a rustic feel. I'm not a fan of a minimalist kitchen so I do prefer wood, I must say. However both kitchens are divine!

White does have my heart.
I also love the open shelving, and how nice it is to have a herb plant to look after, and compliment the kitchen with its scent.
Ahhh, now I'm dreamy for a new kitchen.
Take me to that kitchen, like, now, please! Stunning!
I kind of like the light fixture! It just bugs me that it's hanging in the middle of nowhere... I want to photoshop it so that it's above the island, but perhaps I'm just a little anal
I do like this kitchen. The stainless steel shelves, scrubbed table, white floors... But I agree about the light fitting. And about the need for a large kitchen! San Francisco kitchens are generally pretty small, I think. I too am dreaming about a big open kitchen where everyone can hang out.
I like the fixture, it's rustic and sweet. Perhaps a bit small for the space, three of them would be perfect =)
