Fantasyland Friday: The Kitchen


Ususally the heart of any home, right? I have one must for when we eventually buy a house; the kitchen has to be open to the family room. It's where all the good conversations, meals, and all-around family-togetherness takes place. So naturally, in my fantasyland dream house, the kitchen is part of a great room that is open to the family room, and would ideally have some kind of built-in breakfast nook.



If you can't tell by now, I'm a sucker for timeless design and would love to have traditional white cabinetry with a few glass-panelled ones for display, a beautiful subway-tile backsplash, with a natural stone counter-top. A big farmhouse sink, and perhaps a gorgeous butcherblock island. I'm always partial to a beautiful hardwood floor, but I love these herringbone-tile floors as well.




And of course form and function would need to work together. Like a pull-out drawer under the sink instead of the annoying deep cabinets that you have to get down on your knees to reach the back of. A pots-and-pans organizer, a pot-filler by the stove, gigantic pantry, all those fantastic new innovations.
