Kitchen Inspiration

Have been thinking (well, dreaming) about the new kitchen. Because I'm having timber floors, I think a completely white kitchen like this will be ok and not too washed out.

I love the three pendant lights over the breakfast bar and the pure white splashback. I think my kitchen will be very similar. I will probably have a gabled edge on the breakfast bar and an inset rangehood instead of a freestanding one.

These also must be self opening doors as there's no handles. I like that minimalist look, but I don't like constantly cleaning the dirty marks of the cabinetry. So I might still have chrome handles, but very discreet ones.

  1. What a beautiful kitchen that is... So crisp and fresh... ahhh. Love it!

    Although I don't like the way the breakfast bar ends - very dangerous, and not just for the littlies either *shy*

    Push to open drawers look stunning, but not every practical, are they. You are right about the finger prints. We've got 3, push to open overhead cabinet doors (the rest just have an overhang which you grab from behind) ... luckily they are only visible during certain times of the day and some angles only :)

    1. *shy* - not even going to ask ;-P

      I like that idea of the overhang on the cabinets - I'll add that to the file - thanks!

    1. Love love love the pendants, def going to have them. Only thing is, when you're cooking on the stove/hotplate, is there enough light? The pendants on their own would cast shadows. I guess there's always the light on the rangehood?

    2. Our rangehood lights are on whenever there is something on the stove. They are the bomb! Although, cheapskate Miele only put the standard down lights and not LEDs :(
