Not So Kitschy

In case this hasn’t already become crystal clear, I’m a huge fan of cooking and food in general. But perhaps even stronger than my love for culinary delights, is my love for kitchens. Allow me to rephrase that – I love beautiful kitchens. Old, dilapidated kitchens with ugly cabinets and gross countertops and broken sinks and horrible linoleum (hello, rentals) make me feel like I have been stabbed in the heart with a diamond blade, left just a little bit alive, and then fed to a pack of very hungry wild boars. If that was too abstract, I don’t like them.

But gorgeous kitchens, with fun countertops (granite to butcher’s block – it all works for me) and perfect color accents, or awash in white with simple stainless appliances and a general feeling of “aaahh” when you’re inside of them? Now we’re talking. Or should I say, cooking? (Sorry.)

I digress. (Story of my life.) In the spirit of moving, new places, and rooms that I do like, a kitchen dump for your viewing pleasure. Pilfered from various sources around the interwebz that are probably linked to on the right (and, I should say, inspired by this article posted today on Design*Sponge – if you’re not already familiar with their Monday sneak-peeks, get familiar and quick).
