Best Pantry Ever, Really!

Swoon. Found on Instagram artichoke_ltd -- all of their custom cabinetry is handmade and everything I have seen is absolutely wonderful! ♡xo

Vegetable Drawers That Can Breathe

I love these wooden crate drawers. They don't match the kitchen cabinets but they match the butcher block counter. They are probably designed for vegetables so they can breathe but I will fill the second one with dish towels. I love the look, don't you? Enjoy this October Monday. xo

UPDATE: I FOUND MORE PHOTOS OF THIS KITCHEN IN THE COTSWOLDS HERE.

Great Kitchen in Edinburgh Scotland

I found more photos and an article about a kitchen I blogged about recently and loved here. I thought it might be in France but turns out it's in Edinburgh in a Georgian Apartment. Now I love it even more. Read the article and see more photos here. Enjoy. xo

 

Contest Winning Galley Kitchen

So nice. If you can't have a window over the sink, try to have one nearby. I love this bench under that grand tall window.

"Beating out bigger and grander rooms, this small and understated kitchen clinched the top spot at the very last moment! Whilst many of us dream of large sprawling kitchens with islands, dining tables and counter space galore, the reality, particularly in the city, is often a small room which can fit only the necessities. However, this project shows that even a small space can give you the kitchen of your dreams, all you need is well-made furniture and some clever design."

Wonderful Country Kitchen

I have been saving this photo on my desktop for ages and I have no idea where I found it. Later today I'll search for the photo source. Isn't this a wonderful country kitchen? Don't you want to pull up a chair and have a cup of coffee? The drop-leaf table is all set up for that and acts as a kitchen island as well. I am calling the blue and white checked table covering oil cloth. Can you still buy that? It lasted forever and was so much easier to wipe down than to launder and iron a tablecloth. I grew up in the era when nothing was used rough dried but had to be starched and ironed. That was the only household task my mother despised. xo

Best Repurposed Under Sink Cabinet

This sink cabinet juts out into the room like a piece of furniture that has been converted for use in the kitchen. Designed by Gregory Vaughan of Kelley Designs, Inc. I honestly thought this was an old piece of furniture that was repurposed. It's fabulous, isn't it? More kitchen trends here.

Old Workbench as Kitchen Island

I have always loved old carpenter workbenches in a house. 

This one in a Steven Gambrel kitchen is wonderful.

I wouldn't change a thing. 

I am currently watching and thoroughly enjoying WYCLIFFE on Tubi.  "In a coastal English town, an exacting detective picks through clues while investigating a wide variety of crimes in his otherwise quiet community in Cornwall. This is a very different Cornwall from the village in Doc Martin. Starring Jack Shepherd, Helen Masters, Tim Wylton, Jimmy Yuill, and Adam Barker. Link on Tubi HERE. There are 5 seasons.

Genius Idea for A Pot Filler

I love this idea for a pot filler over an expresso machine tucked away in a cupboard. I never could understand them over a range because you still have to pick up the pot to empty it. This is a terrific idea, isn't it? Photo found in a wonderful before and after kitchen remodel.

Enjoy all the wonderful photos and have a good week. xo

Cubbies in A Shaker-Style Kitchen

I really like this idea of open cubbies instead of drawers under this kitchen island.

Accordion Windows over Kitchen Sink

Isn't this the best summertime kitchen with accordion windows that open up to the covered porch. What could be better when entertaining and cooking? Who needs an outdoor kitchen when you have an indoor kitchen that opens to the outdoors? So nice! via

Most Amazing Kitchen EVER ! ! !

This interior photograph looks like a Dutch painting, doesn't it? To see all the detail and study it, click photo to enlarge. It is actually an advertisement for an English brand called NEPTUNE. Their spring collection is all about the neo-rustic style in English country houses. I might have to save each and every photo to study more closely and swoon over. Yes, I know. I find the best things to share with you. You're welcome. xo

It's lovely, isn't it? It must be wonderful in the summer when both doors are opened wide for outdoor dining on the patio. photo source

Tall Case Clock in My Kitchen

New Jersey Tall Case Clock circa 1820

I found this old photo with the sundial that is now in my garden next to the tall case clock in my kitchen. There was an area of my attic over the kitchen that was too low for me to stand upright so I incorporated it into my kitchen during the renovation. That was fortunate because the kitchen ended up being the only room where my clock could stand after I moved in. My former house had eight-foot ceilings and I never measured the room heights in my cottage but they are only seven feet, eight inches.  My clock needs a minimum of eight feet to stand up with the finials in place, so in the kitchen it went and I have absolutely loved it there ever since. It fits perfectly between my cabinetry and the pantry even though this space wasn't designed to house the clock. It couldn't be any better if I had planned it this way! xo

A Real Cook's Kitchen

This is a real cook's kitchen for sure. The stove is the most important thing and then the pots and pans, mostly copper. I think the worktable to the left of the range is fabulous and love that it's an antique and not a custom built-in cabinet. There is an old chopping block to the right and a step stool to reach the hanging pots. Love it all. via

Kitchen Sink View: Like a Painting

Best view from the kitchen sink, ever. via

Small but Sweet Kitchen

This tiny kitchen is delightful and I can see myself working there quite nicely. Just a pivot is all it would take to reach what you need. Sweet!

Kitchen Opening to Family Room with Fireplace

I think this room arrangement is better than having a fireplace in the kitchen. It's the best of both worlds having it overlook the family room. Love it all, don't you? designed by Amelia T. Handegan, Inc. Interiors Charleston, SC.

Nicest Kitchen Ever

I   really love this kitchen. The cabinetry is beautiful and looks like antiques that were built in. What beautiful fine woodwork. I like the combination of wooden countertops and black honed granite. The ceiling beams are wonderful and so is the lantern. It's really special, isn't it? via

Copper Pots in a Great Kitchen

How high can you reach? I should do this with all of my old copper pots that live in my pantry. Don't you love all the blue and white porcelain? This photo was found on Victoria Magazine's Instagram feed.
