Whilst I'm still in the planning stage of my dream house I am putting a lot of thought into what I would like my dream kitchen to look like. The kitchen in my last house was very nice, but dark for my liking. It was made of Tasmanian Black wood with Black granite bench tops.
Our last house had already been fully renovated when we purchased it & although it was a very nice home, it was decorated to someone else's tastes. Changing major elements would have been over capitalising for the market it was in.
This is why building from scratch is so stressful exciting, its all about ME & I can have just what I want(within budget of course)
Sorry about the quality of the images, I hadn't even heard of a blog when I took these pics...
As you can see, its a little dark
This is an appliance cupboard, we kept our kettle & coffee & tea here & the cups above.
The fabulous wine rack that i never managed to completely fill....
Now for my inspiration:
I love beautiful white kitchens
I love island benches
I love pendant lights over the Island bench
I love walk in pantry cupboards
I love overhead cupboards that reach all the way to the ceiling
I love shaker style doors
I love double bowl sinks
Home Beautiful
Great overhead cupboards. The marble with white & stainless steel looks fantastic
A little pantry love here...
Is this every bodies favourite, its just perfect in every way....
What a nice coffee making set up, perfect for the connoisseur...
This is pretty close to what I would like....
Great industrial looking pendants...
These bamboo roman blinds add great texture, I think I will have these in my dream house kitchen
for sure!!
I couldn't resist adding this one because I LOVE that clock!!!
This is a gorgeous idea for along the window side of my dream kitchen...
Colour Me happy
This one looks like it has a tile floor in the colour I would like in my dream house, makes me feel I made need to go for black bench tops....
Home Beautiful
These baskets add a nice touch, giving this kitchen a bit of a country feel.
I am having a tile floor in my kitchen, probably a sandstone colour, I really like warm whites.
Do you have any suggestions for the perfect bench top colour to go with my white cabinets & light tile floors?

I love dark wood, but am drawn to the white for some reason. Bright and cheery perhaps?
I feel like a white kitchen always looks really fresh & clean, it probably wont once my 4 little slobs...oops...I mean kids move in!!!!
I'm feeling more drawn to white kitchens myself, everything looks brighter and more spacious....I think I will have to wait for that in my next house though.
All so lovely! What wonderful inspiration! Good luck with the kitchen; it will be beautiful, I'm sure. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment about the entertainment center. And my little girl is really kind of squishy and chubby...but tiny compared to that mantel! :) -shaunna
I had a little chuckle reading this post. Today I posted the pics of my kitchen makeover, where I painted my timber kitchen white! I was so sick of all the wood, and I love the white, it looks fresh and fives the room a real lift. I also have many of the photos you posted in my inspiration file, so we obviously share very good taste!! K xx
Hi Trish! I stumbled across your blog and I have to say, the white kitchen with the three topiaries and the industrial looking pendants... makes my heart ache it's so fabulous!!! I've been going in a completely other direction with my kitchen and now I wonder if I should do a 180! So enjoy the few pages I've seen of your blog! I'm looking forward to seeing more pages and bookmarking yr blog!
Cheers!

just stumbled across your blog - which is betting bookmarked as I love all the great photos of the kitchens you put in. I'm dreaming of redesigning our kitchen so appreciate this post of yours... thx
I have a white/creamy kitchen and dark floors. I'd only change the layout as I love my white kitchen
When it comes to benchtops, two major factors will influence the design – personal choice and budget. But with so much choice in the market and different materials varying in price, choosing the right benchtop material can be a hard task.
