I found this kitchen “The Steamer Bay Range” on freshome. What a amazing design! Charming and efficient,  I love the rustic touch! It is my favorite style!

“The Steamer Bay range is an easy, freestanding kitchen style with warm, homely colours. Combinations of rustic oak worktops with painted cabinets reminiscent of faded timbers and relaxing landscapes of sand, sea and rolling dunes. The Steamer Bay range is complemented by a selection of furniture including tables, benches, dressers and larders.”  See more about this kitchen: John Lewis of Hungerford, Price of this kitchen: here.

“The kitchen collection also includes a classic butler style sink unit, that is perfectly integrated in the design.”

” The Steamer Bay range is constructed using a combination of woods with solid pine fronted drawers and doors with a unique ‘in frame’ design. There are wall unit combinations with solid doors, pierced tin doors and simple shelves with brackets. Handles and finishing details can be chosen from a large selection.”

Painting Old Country Kitchen Cabinets White

This kitchen is bright, white, modern and fun. The choice of yellow adds to that liveliness. Adding a rectangular plank to the island and attaching some legs is an affordable and relatively easy solution. Tie it in with matching colored trim, and viola – extra function. Or even easier, use an existing table and again, tie it in with that trim. The trim is key to achieve that union between the table and the island while providing a nice cascading effect.

Here is a very good design if you want to gain space in the kitchen, it inspires a simple DIY idea of extending the kitchen island to gain dining and/or working space. Mixr.se.  via

Which Wood Will Be Better For Your Kitchen Cabinets

Cypress is excellent to stain. Islands look superb in the dark, rich colors you can create with cypress.

Walnut is a fun wood to work with. Leave it natural and seal it. It can even be contemporary with its defined lines and tight grains. It looks refined with white marble and stainless steel.

Mahogany will forever have that old feel of your grandfather’s study. It is a marvelous wood with yellow and gold tones and keeps a traditional kitchen looking good.

How to Paint Wood Cabinets:

Before you begin re-painting your cabinets, there are a few details that you need to consider to ensure that you are satisfied with the result. Are your cabinets painted now or are they finished with a stain and varnish (or lacquer)? If they are painted, do you want to paint them the same color? Take some time to visualize what you want your refreshed kitchen to look like before you decide. This could be an opportunity for you to not only get the cabinets cleaned up, but to completely change their look.

1. Clean the cabinets.

2. Sand the cabinets.

3. Apply primer.

4. Paint the cabinets.

5. Add additional coats.

When it comes to contemporary kitchen design, defining a kitchen area in an open loft or great-room can be tricky. In this large living area, the homeowner chose to unify her one-wall kitchen by painting it a soft green and treating the upper kitchen cabinets like a single built-in unit with glass doors. A natural-color wood plate rack and open storage break up the long green wall. (via: kitchenbathideas.com)

One-Wall Kitchen Design Ideas

1. Plan Your Layout

Just as you would with any kitchen, but particularly those with long runs of units, you need to carefully map out where your appliances will sit. Ideally, you need to keep your ‘work triangle’ close – in other words, the sink, oven/hob and fridge within easy reach of each other. You can then consign storage cupboards to the ends of the run.

2. Treat It Like A Display

A down one wall kitchen necessarily looks onto an empty space with room beyond. It’s likely that this space will be devoted to dining or sitting, or both. So, it makes sense for your kitchen to look good – and by that we mean not entirely like a kitchen. Here, open shelves provide plenty of practical, to hand storage, but are also carefully colour co-ordinated and extremely neat. The result? A kitchen that’s good to look at.

Cabinets with Character

A farmhouse kitchen brings back nostalgic memories to nearly everyone, even if they never experienced warm, homemade bread straight from the wood burning oven.  A farmhouse kitchen is a symbol of family, good food, simpler times, and a lifestyle that is almost extinct.   Exuding warmth and charm, the farmhouse style kitchen can accommodate every activity from baking to a Monopoly game.  Everyone is welcome, everyone is comfortable, and it is a low maintenance decorating choice.

What Color To Paint Your Cottage Style Kitchen Cabinets

Small Black and Cream Cottage Kitchen with Italian Details

This bright and cheerful kitchen belongs to a 1875 Tidewater farmhouse situated in Irvington, Virginia. Stephanie had new cabinets made with recessed beaded-board panels to reflect the simple, homespun character of the place. Even the refrigerator and dishwasher are disguised with matching panels. Other glass-front cabinets and open shelves allow Stephanie plenty of room to display her collections of antique bowls and dishware. Well-chosen items like heart-pine countertops.

Custom cabinets and matching appliance panels: Contemporary Kitchens; conkit.com or 804-758-2001.
Countertops: Butcher-block, also by Contemporary Kitchens.

Farmhouse-Style Sink
A butter yellow farm-style sink completes the kitchen’s authentic look.

The nostalgic look of a farm-style sink (also called farmhouse) harkens back to a simpler time when vegetables were freshly picked from the garden and rinsed off in the kitchen. Originally, this hardworking, utilitarian style of sink was intended for tasks that required a deep basin.

Its signature front apron protrudes beyond the countertop and into the space generally reserved for cabinetry. Stephanie’s sink, which is actually wall-mounted (Gilford apron-front in Sunlight by Kohler), also has an integrated backsplash.

Breakfast Nook
Surrounded by large double-hung windows, the breakfast nook continues the same airy feel of the kitchen. Painted a pleasingly light blue, the dining table was handmade by a local craftsman. The playful scalloped detail of the table’s skirt is echoed by the edging of the nearby window shade.

Painted Floors
Once Builder John D. England had replaced the pine floors, Stephanie painted them a subtle yellow-and-white harlequin pattern to brighten the space and add an aged appearance.

A Tuscan theme kitchen is a masterpiece of decoration that combines the best of all materials. It’s time to free up your creativity. The use of diverse colors especially a bold use of orange and yellow colors is an elegant touch. Pay close attention to a twang of colors in bright reds, sunshine yellows, sea blues, shining blues, bright greens, and browns mixed with burgundy.

For the flooring, you can consider granite, stone, marble, limestone, and slate. Terracotta or lightly distressed wooden floorboards give typical Tuscan feel to the kitchen. The paints should have a weathered effect such as a fake paint finish of antique plaster or sand added to your paint enhances the real Tuscan kitchen decorating style.
Now the furniture. Distressed finish and old paint should be the main theme for the thick wood furniture
. You can choose table linen in luxurious tones and give it an exotic look. Also, use plenty of wrought iron in furniture. As for the décor, tile murals play a key role in bringing out exquisite essence of space. They compliment Tuscany style of decor like the murals of olives, cheese, pears, zucchini, and everything that is Tuscany. You can use accessories made of ceramics and terracotta in rustic colors. (via: momoy.com)

There are no binary perceptions as to what homes in the surreal Italian town of Tuscany bear allegiance to. Of course, it’s the imposing mountains dotting the countryside with loads of company from oak, cypress and lush green olive trees, soaking up oodles of sunshine. Tuscan interior decor displays an insatiable zest for the wonderful things life has to offer.

Here are 7 secret ingredients to create a delectable Tuscan kitchen decor …
•A riot of colors: The bold unabashed use of eclectic colors ensures that there’s never a dull moment in your Tuscan kitchen. Painting the town red will seem really passé when throbbing shades of orange and yellow rule the roost in the kitchen. Gold and burnt terracotta on the walls and floor never hit a false note. Tuscan kitchen accents in flaming red, gorgeous green, luminous blue and sunshine yellow make all your purple hued dreams seem rather pallid.
•Walls: Intricately layered walls in exotic shades of yellow sponged to perfection are sure to evoke piquant reactions from even the most reticent of all your guests. The smoldering appeal of the old world charm is sure to get under your skin. Let your imagination run wild, and try out new techniques to create magic on the plain kitchen walls.
•Floors: Laying stone or quarry tiles on the floor in enigmatic earthy shades is sure to place your antiquated interior design notions in serious jeopardy. Area rugs with the same spectacular style quotient are no less.

Updated Vintage Kitchen

Yellow paint, a checkerboard floor, and soapstone countertops create vintage style. Stainless-steel appliances and the clean lines of the cabinetry mix in modern touches. Glass-front upper cabinets make the room feel more open. Crown molding added to the upper cabinetry coordinates with the home’s existing trim to create a unified look.
