Obsessed with Houzz.com/Kitchen

 

I don't know how I found this website, but I am in love with it. Houzz.com. It has given me such inspiration for every room in my house as well as the backyard! I log onto it everyday and add pictures to my "idea book". I figure I will add some of my pictures here since I will be using this as my DECOR BIBLE.

 

 

FLOOR

 

First things first; I want to sand and stain my floors dark wood.

 

I love how a shiny dark wood floor looks against white molding.

 

 

 

 

KITCHEN 

Since my kitchen is brand new; I will not be touching it. Is it bad that I hate the cherry wood cabinets?? They are brand new and I cant stand them!!! I will live with it for now, but this is what I plan on doing to my kitchen:

I love the Dark almost black cabinet with the white granite. I think I am going to try and stain my cherry wood cabinets and then just buy new granite counter tops. My counter tops are more of a brown granite( See below). I also want to make my cabinets go to the top of the ceiling as shown above.

 

(My kitchen)

 

I feel like a big island would not work well in my kitchen and I don't want to make the room smaller by adding one. BUT, I do need an island so I think a long thin one will work perfectly in the space: like the one below.

I am not sure what type of light fixtures I want hanging over my island or if I even want them. But I do know I want them to be glitzy, I love anything and everything that sparkles.

 

 

 

 

I want to put a computer nook in one the corner of the breakfast area like this one:

 At least my kitchen is livable and I don't have to spend $40,000 redoing it...I am very happy about that.
