Yesterday I talked about our kitchen, and my consideration of black cabinets. Today I'm feeling like cream would another good option. Bright and airy and cheery. Plus, in case of resale, cream cabinets are going to sell much easier than black.

I love the mixture of white, cream and red in this kitchen. Love the beadboard backsplash, love the shabby blue table. Pops of blue in this kitchen could easily be subbed with green to tie in with our counters.


Another beautiful example, this one with stainless appliances and butcher block counters. Love.


I adore the bright pops in this kitchen - yellows, greens, blacks - all balanced with bright cream cabinets.


I love finding "real-life" photos that inspire me. Anything from a magazine is going to look amazing because of edited, lighting, you name it. But when you can see a picture that represents exactly what you would see when you walk into this person's kitchen, that's what really inspires me.
I love the farmhouse sink, the butcher block counters, and the narrow wood island, all ideas my dream kitchen would incorporate.


This kitchen is by far my favorite. I love the way the red, green, cream and white all play off one another.
