If you follow this blog regularly, (yes I realize that's a big IF!) you may have read some posts on how much I love my little bitty studio apartment. I've certainly done some bragging...however, you will rarely hear me brag about or even mention my kitchen. That's because it looks a little something like this:
Only enough space for one person, dark, ugly cabinets, ugly floor, about two inches of counter space, you get the picture...
I've been doing a good deal of cooking recently and although I've made the space work, I look forward to the day when I can spread out, have another person join me in the kitchen, or at least use more than one pot at a time! Here are some kitchens I'd be happy to spend all day in.

The farmhouse sink here is also a must.
And finally, tons and tons of natural light:
Cool overhead lights. Love the blue and white.
Glass cabinets and/or open shelving helps to show off pretty dishes and glassware.
Fantastic windows welcome the sunlight.
