Dream Kitchen

Last week I shared this photo which was the closest image to one version of my dream kitchen.

source unknown

I love the floors, gray cabinets, the Moroccan tile, the sconces, the exposed beams and even the turquoise teapot. I wish I could find pictures of the rest of this kitchen.  To see how they addressed storage and where they stuck the fridge.  If anyone knows where this image came from please let me know in the comments.

My dream kitchen wouldn't be too large. I am all about an efficient work triangle...the fridge in my kitchen would be directly opposite the oven.  Next to it would be a pantry door similar to this one:


I would not require it to be arched but I would like this tone of wood and the pantry would be a walk-in to accomodate my crazy stockpiling ways as well as appliance and less used items.

On the wall with the sink I would like to have open shelves flanking a window. I like having things accessible and easy to reach.  I love this idea from DIY with ADD, incorporating a pot rack into open shelving.  It would be the perfect place to display my copper bottom pots and pans, oven-mits, and so on.



 Ideally, I would also like a place that I could display some framed family recipes (photocopies if my mom won't share) similar to this or maybe even hanging on the walls behind the shelves. 


Hope you all had a great weekend.  I am getting ready for a little girl's birthday party this week and hope to show you some before photos before Saturday.

  2. Love your kitchen ideas. I love the color of the pantry door. It wouldn't have to be arched, but wouldn't it be great to have? Love it!
