help me.

photo credit: Meg Duerksen

We are in the early stages of remodeling a kitchen, meaning we are still in the planning stages. Ryan and my styles don't quite match up. I love Meg's kitchen (pictured above), Lindsey's kitchen and Nicole's kitchen (via Lindsey's blog), that I've posted about previously, to name a few.

I'm trying to figure out where I'm willing to compromise and where I'm not. I'd love to see your favorite kitchens. I will look and comment on every link left in the comments. I can't wait to see what you love!

    I want to install white subway tile to our back kitchen wall (the one that is green now) and
    I really, really want a farmhouse sink.

    Nat, that would look so great! Subway tile and a farmhouse sink are both on my list. We'll see how far I get in persuading Ryan.

    Well, I guess this post answers more than one question.
    I think there is a lot similar about all three kitchens. Hold out for that farmhouse sink girl.

    I'm probably not going to help because I just agree with you!! I, too, love kitchen's similar to the one in the Diane Keaton movie "Something's Gotta Give."

    Here's some great links:

    Since I'm not much help on how to make your kitchen pretty, I finally decided to google bad examples! I spent a great 15 minutes looking at "white trash kitchen images" on a google search.

    I absolutely love Nicole's kitchen ceiling. I would consider some type of texture on your ceiling. Also, the subway tile, really!

    I think a different color island from the cabinets is to die for. I couldn't convince Scott to do it though. We didn't go with a full on farmhouse sink, but ours does just have one big basin and I absolutely LOVE it. I highly recommend one. It looks like you want white cabinets(love them!!!), but since you asked to share what we love, if I could get my way, I would love green cabinets.

    I have an old kitchen that I have been thinking about updating, as well. I wrote about it here:

    and included some pictures of what my ideal kitchen could be.

    I think this kitchen may be something you love. It seems to have a few things in common with the kitchen links you have already posted. Plus, I love that she painted her door. And her chandelier is to die for!

    ha ha. I just noticed someone already linked to the kitchen I suggested you look at. Good luck with the decision making!
