Kitchen Inspiration

Love the chalkboard.  D is building a butcher-block island and I've asked that he rig it so that there is a hole in it, with the compost bin below--no more trips across the kitchen to the rubbish bin! 

This is actually the layout of our kitchen, exactly.  I want some open cabinets and shelving, however.

Subway tile, check. Honed black granite, check. Viking range, check.  And I LOVE the faucet mounted over the stove for pot filling.  D tells me he can make this happen.

Lovely.

I'm really digging the classic, post-war look right now.  Apparently so is everyone else!  That's good, because even though my dream house is an Eichler and not a craftsman, I can definitely appreciate the craftsman look.  It's a bit of a balancing act to make one's home classic enough to re-sell and also fit one's personal tastes. So, I'm going with clean and classic, knowing that paint, furnishings, and art work will really make it ours.

Also from Rejuvenation--note that this kitchen is pretty much what we are going for: shaker cabinets, honed granite counters, and a white subway tile back splash
