Daydreaming -- Kitchen Style

I haven't met anyone who does not LOVE Pinterest. We use it for inspiration and for daydreaming and even room planning.

Today I am dreaming of our kitchen (and linking up). The one that SOLD. THE. HOUSE. for us. We love it in its current state for sure. But who doesn't love to put their own personal touch on it. We may be hosting the annual New Years Eve Dinner Party that we do with 8-10 other couples so I am pushing the hubs that we should have our kitchen done by Christmas.

Here is our kitchen in all of its move-in/cleaning madness (I'm so slack about taking pics that I haven't shot any of it as it looks all unpacked).

Here is what I am planning:

 I can not wait to pull this together. It probably does not seem like a lot, and it really isn't. The hardest part is pulling all the fabrics together and saving the money to do it. We plan to do the tile ourselves and the bench cushions and curtains. I am an amateur on the sewing machine (which is older than I am), so it will take some careful planning considering how expensive fabric is and how much we will need for our 129 inch bench!

Here are some images I have put in my Kitchen folder in Pinterest.

There it is. Our monochromatic kitchen with its stainless steel appliances, charcoal concrete counters, blue slate tile floors and light gray walls with slightly metallic stencilling...topped off with touches of turquoise, or whatever color may strike us in the future. This post makes me want to get started right now!
