Inspiration Kitchens

Have you seen that movie "Something's Gotta Give" with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson?  Check out the pictures of the house and the amazing kitchen.  I love the kitchen in that house for its simple design, understated elegance, and subtle contemporary touches. 

Okay, true.  I don't live in the Hamptons and I certainly don't live in a beach house.  However I do have a kitchen and it has does have potential and that's all I need.

Over the past few months I have collected pictures of other white kitchens for inspiration for my own little kitchen design.

So without further ado here are some of my inspiration kitchens.

Love the contemporary glass backsplash in this kitchen.


If I had space for an island I would make the island cabinets dark like in this kitchen. Maybe I'll have space for an island in my next place!


This one is a Candice Olson kitchen with quartz countertops and woven textured blinds. I don't have a window in my kitchen but I will add some texture to the design to soften up the space.


Love the carrera marble countertops!  Combined with the dark wood floors this kitchen is classic and timeless. I like the micrwowave hidden in the base end cabinet too.

Another Candice Olson kitchen - my favorite TV designer. Notice again the woven textured accents.


And finally, the hardwood floors in this one are gorgeous but maybe a bit too dark for my place.
