Heart of a Home

I've always heard that the kitchen is the "heart of a home" so naturally I want our new kitchen to be...well, perfect. It must be gracious, inviting, warm, timeless - and so on. Oh...and not a million dollars.

My job as Realtor takes me into some pretty stunning kitchens. I am talking, magazine caliber, jaw dropping, swoon worthy kitchens. Marble backsplashes, granite countertops, wine refrigerators, cappuccino stations...and to think that mere Formica and linoleum were once the gold standard. The bar my friends has been raised. Really high.

I want a kitchen that is beautiful but in an effortlessly cool kind of way. You know the girl who can role out of bed, run her fingers through her hair and look amazing? The girl who exudes style without even trying - who somehow missed the memo that she happens to be stunning. I want her...in a kitchen.

I am obsessed. Poor Darden has learned more about cabinet styles and edging options on granite than he ever wished to know. Tonight I found myself debating between "weathered nickel" or "oil rubbed bronze" hardware.

What I want (today):

 

 

 

Cup Pulls
Huge Island
Industrial inspired lighting
Comfy Bar stools
Subway Tile Backsplash
