white kitchens: always classic

as promised...

part of the white kitchen stash:

(notice as you look through

these images how often you see 

wood floors paired with the white cabinetry.

adding wood is a great way to inject warmth and

texture into a white kitchen!)

it doesn't get more classic 

than this white kitchen.

love the arch, the floors,

the huge window, and 

aren't the shelves in the left great?

beadboard always looks great in a kitchen.

this grey/blue island really looks fab with the 

white walls and cabinets.

i love, love, love the

transoms over the breakfast room windows!

great light fixtures really add some zing here.

and i heart the coffered ceiling.

yummy.

* love the detail on the transom windows!

and all that light is divine!

i really liked this soft olive colored tile paired

with the white cabinets and wood floors.

another view of the kitchen above.

love the stainless countertops 

with the marble island!

pretty sink!

simple and classic.

great detail around the sink,

and i love that backsplash and 

vintage looking fixture!

i love the surprise of a painting above the hood.

unexpected and fun!

white on top, red on bottom.

this look is prefect in a country kitchen

the high ceiling in here is beautiful!

and i love that they wrapped the crown molding

around the top of the cabinets.

and, on a side note:

i have several posts on white kitchens i will be *dumping 

in the next several days,

and i *almost named this one "kitchen dump #1".

ewww. 

i'm glad i didn't...

didn't quite have the appeal i was looking for!

hee.hee.

p.s. we just got back from our first ever

family camping trip. it was a blast.

despite the rain.

but, man, is it ever a load of work!
