Country Cottage Kitchens

I love the bright open feel to this kitchen but yet it's cozy. Wish I had those windows!

One day we will 'bite the bullet' and tackle our kitchen renovation. We've gone through this in a major way once before...in fact 3 years ago we were just finishing off a major kitchen renovation. That was my DREAM kitchen.....and just over a year after we did it... we SOLD the house! Not before we did the dining room and living room first...all major renovations too. This time we aren't going anywhere once we're done....this is where we hope to live for a GOOD many years.

I LOVE the sink...I miss my farmhouse sink. I love the white and red too...very farmhouse 'cottagey'!

This renovation won't be quite as major as the last one but it will still make a big difference to the feel of the kitchen. Like the last time...I've been looking at all kinds of pictures trying to get a feel for what I like. This house is a true farmhouse...nothing fancy...not huge...but it has a cozy charm to it that I like to refer to as 'country cottage'. I'd like my kitchen to be bright and cheery and inviting...a place where people like to hang out. It's not a huge kitchen but it's big enough for the two of us. The layout is great just the way it is and the cupboards will just get a paint job and crown molding and a bit of trim and that's it. Most of the work will be done to the ceiling and walls and maybe the floor...if not now we'll take care of that later. If it all works out the plan is to pull up the stuck down tiles and clean up the original wood floor and paint it...maybe even stencil something on it. We'll see. For now I'm just having fun admiring other kitchens and dreaming. I'd like to share with you some of my favorite kitchens...I hope you enjoy! 

I'm not sure why I like this kitchen...maybe the white with the wood floors. It has a very homey feel to it.

Now wouldn't you just LOVE to have a kitchen like this...especially that sink!!

Another 'feel good' kitchen.

I LOVE this cupboard. The color is great but I'd paint mine white

Did you see the movie 'Something's Got To Give'?

I LOVE the kitchen in this movie!

I'm afraid my house is too small for a kitchen like this but I LOVE it.

This kitchen has character.

This is a peak into the kitchen from the movie 'You've Got Mail'. I LOVE the feel of this little kitchen.

The whole apartment!

I wish I had French Doors in my kitchen...wouldn't that be wonderful!

I picture an English garden being outside of mine.

I hope you have fun thinking about your house

and maybe even about some renovations in the future.

Sometimes these may be dreams of grandeur

but hey...we can dream can't we!
