neato kitchen

  

We went down to San Diego yesterday to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my Canadian mother-in-law.  (Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, Canadian girls! I hope you are having a good day.)

She let me borrow her June '09 copy of House Beautiful magazine, because I fell in love with this kitchen! :) (You can click on the photos to see larger versions.)  It's this first shot that did me in . . . I love that green! And I like how, effectively, they've created two, parallel galley spaces to work in. That is kind of neat. And I always like beadboard and hardwood floors and schoolhouse lamps.  And look at those neat, tidy shelves of glasses and dishes.  So serene. :)

I love the dark, rich wood and stone with the green cabinets. It says that green is "Bayberry Green" from The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co.  I might have to track that down. :)

 

And look at that shelving on the left that they use as a pantry.  It says it is about four inches deep, which is "just the size of a typical jar, so things don't get hidden behind each other." I think that makes sense.

I thought that little nook in the wall (third pic from the left) was cute, too, with its own light.

I feel a kitchen cleaning and reorganizing coming on . . .
