I love the white, and dream of owning a kitchen just like all those pictures one day.... Ours is still a small apartment kitchen, and we didn't want to bother with getting the stunning marble counters, etc. for this apartment. But white keeps things so nice and light in the kitchen, plus it matches the original glass-front white cabinets and wood counter in our 1901 butler's pantry.<BR/><BR/>(By the way, we got the white enamel Viking stove; my one huge splurge. It's so pretty!! And such a fresh change from all-stainless.)Kate F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06595890632999010990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-80784332014403743882008-01-16T20:33:00.000-06:002008-01-16T20:33:00.000-06:00You described my dream kitchen; here is the kitche...You described my dream kitchen; here is the kitchen I am patterning mine on when we build our home.

Great examples in your post. <BR/><BR/>I would love to have marble countertops, but I cook a lot and there is no way I would not stain or etch those countertops. I currently have white corian countertops, and as unfashionable as they are (my house was built in the late 80s when they were considered high end), I love them. They are so smooth and warm, practically indestructible. They are so functional.Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-70006267693413151722008-01-11T15:22:00.000-06:002008-01-11T15:22:00.000-06:00Stepford Kitchens...that's hilarious.

I actually gets knots in my stomach every time I have to see yet another kitchen with the fake greenery, fake wood stains, fake stones painted on the walls, fake, fake, fake! I just want to shout "Nobody believes you live in Tuscany, o.k!" Anyway, you can tell I have strong feelings about this. I have a hard time avoiding it, in my business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-36829059503869787622008-01-11T00:38:00.000-06:002008-01-11T00:38:00.000-06:00You know my feeling on white kitchens :) and I tot...You know my feeling on white kitchens :) and I totally understand the other kitchens you are describing- they abound in my neighborhood! Love all the examples you posted. Our pendants (sort of similar to what you posted) for over our island just came today, and I'm soooo excited! Makes things feel a bit more real.mrsplainjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331376202501469908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-46616956628805612042008-01-10T21:29:00.000-06:002008-01-10T21:29:00.000-06:00Gorgeous kitchens!
