In The Kitchen

Could we turn my kitchen into this kitchen?

Even though the move into our smaller/older home was tough, I'm loving our kitchen. First, because the computer is in it. There's something about having the computer in the hub of the home that makes me feel like it belongs there.

Let's face it, our entire family goes on the computer at some point during the day, so it's easily accessible and also allows me to stream music when I'm cooking whether it be on iTunes or on Grooveshark.

I wouldn't say our kitchen is big, but it's a good size and it seems that everything is in arms reach. In our last house I felt like we had to walk a few miles to put away silverware from the dishwasher or travel to another state just to check out what was in the pantry! Okay, I'm exaggerating. But you know what I mean. Kitchen layout is essential.

Our cabinets are oak and I have forever loved the idea of a white kitchen. But sadly, the last time I mentioned painting any woodwork in the house, Husband poo-pooed that idea. Must come up with another idea...or wait awhile until he warms up to the idea, hmm.

I've also found a new favorite designer on HGTV, her name is Sarah Richardson and her designs are amazing. Of course I don't have her budget, but her style is just beautiful.

Who's your favorite interior designer? Which DIY/decorating blogs inspire you?
