Rainy days = Kitchen Dreams

I love the skirt and the beam

(click the photo's to make them larger)

It's raining...again. So I'm stuck inside sipping my coffee looking around my kitchen.

That usually get's me thinking about our future kitchen renovation.

I'm not really looking forward to it but once Mr Fixit and I start

talking about it and looking at pictures then I get in the mood pretty quick.

This morning I thought I'd see if I could find a few pictures on the internet

to inspire me.

I've done this before in a previous post.

Funny how my mood changes when it rains. This morning the rain got me thinking of my sister in England and then I started thinking of English kitchens.

English kitchens always seem cozy to me. Maybe because they're usually so small

but more so I think it's because they have character.

What do you think?

Here's a few pictures of English kitchens.

There's those skirts again...that's different

Love this hutch...need one of these ;-)

There's the beams again and love the plate rack

I miss my farmhouse sink

Love the sloping ceiling and the cottge window

Don't like the cupboards but love the windows, floors and low ceiling

Such a cozy space with those low ceilings

Love this one! I was thinking of doing this to the floor and for sure beadboard to the ceiling.

Oooo look at that stove! Love the low ceilings with the beams.

Love the stone walls and the window with shutters.

I hope you liked these English kitchen pictures. Our kitchen certainly isn't English but it would be nice to add some of the elements from these photo's.

The bead board ceilings and the painted wood floors and painted cupboards are certainly things we could do here at the farm.

Maybe when my sister comes to visit she'll feel right at home!

Do you have kitchen dreams too?

What's your favorite style?
