A Dramatic Kitchen Entry




Hmmm... this kitchen is definitely gorgeous with its white and grey color palette and wide windows that supply enough natural light and airiness. But I don't think it will be as lovely without its dramatic kitchen entry of salvage yard antique posts. Gosh, I love this kitchen entry because it gives this kitchen a warm and even a rustic touch which I love in a kitchen. And that dish rack on the right side is antique too, dated 1865. I just love how antiques are mixed with modern and contemporary pieces. I also love the pulley lights and the chairs and of course the exposed wood beams above.


And since I'm into quotes these days... here's another one for us ladies ♥

    This is one of my favourite kitchens - it's been in my inspiration file for a while because I LOVE those huge windows. And now it's doubly-awesome because of the angle I hadn't seen before with the rustic wood entry - absolutely fabulous!

    We did get Jackson back - YAY! He somehow found his way back home. No idea how he did it, but he's safe & sound and back where he belongs :-)

    I love this kitchen too! It's so clean and bright and clean and just CLEAN! And pardon moi but isn't it okay to spend the grocery money on shoes? If you actually cook in that kitchen it won't look so CLEAN!

    I'm in love with the mix of white and natural wood. One day my kitchen will be filled with these colours.

    And thanks for making me feel a little better about husbands and Ikea Ann. I really thought my husband had a weird reaction to the place.:-))

    Have a wonderful weekend!
