What's Cookin'?

I really hate my kitchen.  Take a look... (Don't mind the kiddos hangin' out.  I was trying to keep them busy with snacks while I took the pic.)



Don't get me wrong, it could be worse.  It's a good size with a functional layout and oodles of storage.  However, I despise the orangey-oak cabinets and the busy laminate countertops.  Here are kitchens that I enjoy looking at...

Brown Design: lots of molding, contrast and textures


getdecorating.com: similar layout to ours...totally doable


Marin Kitchen Company: so airy and bright


DecorPad:  white, grey and dainty


So, the whites have it.  Our cabinet doors are coming down this weekend in preparation for a budget-friendly facelift.  We may be seeing the contents of our cabinets for a few weeks, but that's okay.  We're not hosting Thanksgiving.

  2. Those are some great home decor items! I would love to do my kitchen in that kind of design. Especially the hardwood floor, I really need to get rid of my tile.
