Kitchen Inspiration

Our first big project is to remodel our kitchen. I love simple, white cabinets with dark granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and subway tile. Here are a few of my favorites.

I have toyed with doing a color back splash like this:

But now am pretty much decided on a more mono-chromatic look with a luscious subway tile back splash such as:
(the first one is from casamacho whose kitchen inspired my whole white/black kitchen obsession.)

I love the ranges that have the dials on the front, instead of covering up the back splash.

Here is another picture from casamacho's blog. I would love her same cabinets (American Woodmark - Gettysburg White from HD) but the quote we got from them seemed awfully high. We are still shopping around.

Perhaps an idea for more shelving since our cabinets will already be the tallest possible and we have high ceilings.

Looove these ceilings...

An idea for a punch of color, paint the walls a fun color. We will have very little actual walls showing and I would love to do the jalepeno green from BM.

Of course, I would die if my kitchen was this huge, but I love the dark wood floors. Not sure how these would look next to the lighter wood floors that are in the rest of our house.

I am toying with the idea of doing a color behind the glass cabinetry.

I love the dark countertops and splashes of red color.
