Love this kitchen!
























Here is a photo image of a kitchen that I just love! Love the colours and contrasts; and the subtleties; the soft moss greens, the forest hunter green marble top, the woods with their grains and tones, the appliances etc.

Our tidbitz kitchen is quite similar to the photo; save that ours is a whole lot bittidz smaller! Nor do we have the wonderfully high lofted and beamed ceiling, with creative track lighting; instead, we will be looking to refurbish the ballasts in our low ceiling; and work with what is there already. Our (without door handles) cupboards are of the varnished brown colour that you see in the bottom cupboards; and then our ceramic tile floor is a caramel brown, as a voluptous contrast. Our tiles around the stove and sink, are creamy taupe. More light than dark. Imagine a cup of milk with a dash of coffee. There is the colour combo! Also our countertop is a white meringuish marble. Our appliances we had to replace; and the gas range stove with fan is exactly like ours...right down to the number and location of the burners! Our tap and sink (along with a good sized garbarator)also resemble what you view in the picture. The cutting board too, along with the utensil holders, the nooks and crannies for "objects" are uncannily like ours. There is a white container with kitchen utensils...hmmmm. looks very much like a Pampered Chef container. Those are great; they can hold so many items! We have 3; makes it a lot easier to reach for tools etc; then to have to burrow for them out of drawers etc. We do not have a lot of room; "old fashioned" type of kitchen; however, it works delightfully for us! Our window, is a bit bay window; and our tid of a glass table and 4 chairs fit nicely into that little cosy alcove.

Tidbit -Enjoy your kitchen; regardless of its size or any imperfections or "character", it may have. Those can either be left as is, or replaced with renovations, or just simply "moving things" around. I did that yesterday afternoon; and it was creatively restful. And, my husband, Alan prefers the changes! - which is important, as he loves to cook! This might also inspire me to cook a tid bit more! I used to cook; however, Alan really enjoys it; why would I want to ruin his fun! LOL!

Bittid - The kitchen is a wonderful place to entertain, to enjoy family and / or friends. Generally, the kitchen is the "grand central station" or place where people gather - be it at a party or whatever; somehow it is like a refuge...Maybe with the comforts of food and drink close by.

Hope you are all enjoying today.
