If you can organise your kitchen, you can organise your life

I like that quote and hope it applies to me haha

Im really excited about Crustation’s House project.
The room Ive been assigned to design and draw is the kitchen – awesome!!
The kitchen Im planning is more playful and colourful than these kitchens but I thought Id share some of my favourite kitchen images that I have saved on my computer.

I always regard the kitchen the heart of the home – a place to prepare food and nurture loved ones, a place to gather, entertain or to chat after a weary day at work (my life right now), a meeting point for the whole family.
Open plan kitchens are even better as it brings the family even closer!
Im not a fan of sleek modern kitchens. The Australian interior magazines really emphasise these so
I guess they are popular but not with me - I want warm and wholesome! I want a kitchen to smell like cinnamon and comfort!
I love buying American magazines like Romantic Homes and Country Homes for great kitchen inspiration. The british also do great kitchens!!
I need solid cabinets, thick benches, cute appliances and a huge clock on the wall – a necessity when you are in a morning rush!

I hope to have a dream kitchen one day – any of these would be just perfect! these ones too!!!

We are going away tomorrow, we’re off to a beach town Nelson Bay which is a 3hour drive north of Sydney
5days of relaxation! Bliss!!!
See you next week!!

    Oh those kitchen pictures are wonderful. As someone who spent the whole of yesterday painting her kitchen I know how much you love that particular room in the house.

    Oh dear oh dear - seeing those pictures just reminds me how much we could do with a new kitchen of our own! Ours is pretty old and in a real state, the gas cooker is actually older than I am!

    But I agree that kitchens are the heart and soul of a place, I love to be in mine with the oven on and something cooking. Which is a good thing seeing as we cook everything from scratch - next thing is to get the ceiling repaired, before we're swimming in there!

  16. These are all beautiful. I love old fashioned kitchens too and especially some of the British ones that I see in magazines. I like the unstructured way that they mix and match things there.
