sourceTidying up my files today I realised how many photos of Kitchens I have. For a reason though, to inspire our own re-do, which will be a makeover to begin with and eventually a gut. My favourites are as follows. The top one is just gorgeous in every way.
source This little gem I found over at ABT and fell in love with the island and the beaded board on the cupboards, the hardware and the marble.
source
3 Bell Jar lights sounds good to me. I love that the island is dark against white cupboards. This is a perfect solution for us as Mic wants wood cabinetry, and I want white.
source
I did notice that most of the photos I have on file have 3 lights above the island. I have always been a fan of this, not only for the aesthetics, but for the difference it makes when you are doing any sort of fiddly prep. We had 3 white glass shades above our main prep area at the home we built and I loved it. This kitchen is magnificent and the turned legs over the breakfast bar are gorgeous.

I love this. Simple, white, clean and uncluttered. I have a 'thing' about not having stuff on the benches...except my big glass canisters I have shown you before.
source
The Aga in the old fireplace is something we would love to eventually do in our kitchen (with a electric/gas version), but I don't think I can part with our old wood stove...it's so cozy.
source
A must!!!

I would love to incorporate a breakfast bar. The tin on this ceiling is beautiful.

The thought of having an old farmhouse table to do double duty as dining space and as an island really appeals to me, but it just wouldn't work for us just now. The mouldings on the doors are lovely and I would really like to do something with the baseboards like this to give a touch of fancy to them...the more I think, the more my head hurts...time to go to bed.
