I'm Dreaming of a White Kitchen

My little guy had birthday party to go to at a friends house last week. His mom had told me she recently renovated the kitchen. I've seen the old kitchen and it really did need a facelift.  It was a 1970's 
kitchen with ugly dark wood cabinets, formica counters and old appliances.  The space was quite large so it had tons of potential.   Anyway, I walked into this newly renovated space and my jaw dropped.  WOW, it was gorgeous, right out of a magazine white kitchen. Of course I forgot my camera.  She had built in professional appliances with cabinet fronts, granite that looked like Carrera marble and a beautiful farm sink.  So now, of course, I'm dreaming of  a white kitchen!  

 Black island, marble counter top and sparkly pendant lighting.  I love the 
contrast of the black and white.  




 Coffered beaded board ceiling is just beautiful.



This is simply gorgeous....and the closest thing I could find to my dream kitchen.  This kitchen was published in House Beautiful magazine and was designed by Susan Dossetter and Andrew Skurma for a home in San Francisco.  I must give credit where credit is due!
I'm in love with the old display cabinet on the back wall of this kitchen.....
what a great way to show off all of your vintage treasures.






This is another beauty with the natural wood vintage china closet.  



Thanks so much for stopping by to view these beautiful kitchens.  I'm be linking with,
