Dark in the kitchen

 

This kitchen is so beautiful.  What do you think of the dark finish?  I tend to lean towards a light or white kitchen more often than not.  I love the stools too!

What do you think are you a light or a dark kitchen fan?

kitchen love....

 

yep you guessed it I am completely kitchen obsessed right now!  I cannot stop looking through images and thinking of new ideas to add to my kitchen.  We are working on the island and the pantry right now so it is all about the right sink and faucet, how big can we make the pull out trash cans, and things like that (sounds pretty exciting, huh!)  This kitchen is pretty amazing I love the separation with the glass windows, the stripe for the banquette and the pendants- all fantastic!

a little kitchen inspiration...

 

I have been hording images for months and after getting the green light on the kitchen remodel I have had to finally narrow it down.  So here they are most of my favorites...

Above is the beautiful kitchen from the home of Loi Thai from Tone on Tone.  Pendants love them and they seem pretty similar to the pair that I purchased last week for my kitchen!  Cabinets- beautiful color so soft and clean and just not quite white (well in this photo- I am not sure if they are in person).

 I love this glass front cabinet for dishes and glassware with storage on the bottom.

Something similar will go where our really large pantry is now.

 

Beautiful island love the cabinet color..  Our island will be a light grey to match the colors in the backsplash which will be a vein cut limestone (my color starting point).

 

I love the base detail on this piece and of course the color is super cool.

 

We will have a similar cook top- I am leaning towards the Kitchen-aid version with a griddle.

Yes please.

 

I love this cabinet too for dishes just deciding on the style.  Mine will have a dark espresso finish.

 

I love the huge molding detail on the top of the cabinetry in this space and the storage on the island.

As well as the amazing pendants!

Also, thank you for all of your sweet comments and emails about my last post!!  Keeping those fingers crossed for me always helps!  Off to start a wonderful week...

Kitchen pendants

 

So I am in the beginning design stages of my kitchen remodel.  Which I am super excited about but there are many very important decisions to make.  The sooner the better considering the lead time on some of these pieces!!  The first thing I had to figure out was my cabinet colors and the counters..  done there just need to get all of the pricing together (I will post those as soon as I make the final final decisions based on the cash).  But I have quickly moved onto lighting.  I love lighting!  So there is a small nook area that needs a chandelier and then we need to add pendants over the new island. 

My first choice on the chandelier is below..  this one if from Arteriors but I might have to adjust considering the price... (oops I always go based on looks for myself first then try to figure out pricing- it can be easier that way sometimes but in this case it is not really going to work).  Aside from that isn't she beautiful!  Another choice is the hand made piece above from Cleveland Art.  I have several pieces from them in my house (they made the amazing lights in my master bath) and I love them as each is a unique work of art.

 

So I like this one for a pendant but I am not sure about cleaning the shade and it may not be quite right but it sure is cute!

  This is one of my all time favorites from Cisco Brothers!  Love but it may be too small for there..

 

Another contender but it might be over done.  I have seen these in all kinds of kitchens...

 

I love this piece from Arteriors- new and fabulous!

 

Another Arteriors piece very similar to the Cisco piece but a bit larger...

This is fun and new from Arteriors too..

 

 Then there is the large bling that I decided half way through this post might work over the table in the nook too... 

 

Any suggestions?  I like the idea of mixing something a little fancy with something more industrial.  Lighting is the most visual accessory in a room next to artwork and I like to keep things interesting!
