So all this talk about kitchen’s really got me thinking…I wonder…If I had my dream kitchen, would I cook better? 
Who among us hasn’t drooled over a kitchen in a Hollywood movie, or taken mental notes of a friend’s to-die-for kitchen. I just wanted to share my ideas for my dream kitchen with you {sigh}. I call it “Modern Bungalow.”
Now picture this (with the help of a few inspiration photos):
Dark soapstone counter tops with white cabinets– several with paned glass fronts to display a colorful Fiestaware collection. Breakfast bar and/or an island with ample room for seating. Below is a home from a TLC project, and a nice assortment of Fiestaware.
Back splash? Wow, we’ve been talking a lot about that at HOMEdigz. For me, it’s a toss up between stainless steel, recycled glass or subway tiles. Maybe a combo? (sorry, no inspiration picture here – use your imagination!)
Rolling Red Cart for Convenience (if room and needed). Here’s a cutie from Target.
A must-have for my dream kitchen is a chalkboard wall. I found this sweet inspiration shot at www.blackwhitebliss.com. Love it!
This kitchen would not be complete without retro red bar stools. Here are a couple ideas.
For the floors, I’d like an espresso, wide-planked wood floor with a custom area rug made with FLOR tiles in their stampede collection. Giddy up ya’ll!
For artwork, I could see a playful vintage print involving wine in some way. Here’s one possibility:
Now this is perhaps my favorite…a glitzy black chandelier for a little unexpected bling!
Thanks for joining my in the tour of my dream kitchen. And I’m sure my grilled cheese sandwiches would taste oh-so-much-better in my dream kitchen

Oh, I want a chalkboard in my dream kitchen too. Actually, my current kitchen (not my dream kitchen, but one day I’ll have one!) has some vertical wall space that I think is just perfect for a chalkboard.
My husband asked me why we needed one….he just doesn’t get it

Your dream kitchen sounds great — love the red accents
We’re about to do a mini-makeover of our kitchen. It won’t be my dream kitchen, but it’ll be a lot better than what we have now!!
If you’d like to check out my dream kitchen, I wrote a post about it here:

Love that kitchen at the top! I’ve got black counters and white cabinets, and this photo makes me want to paint the walls a pale blue. It’s so pretty!

I love white cabinets! My dream kitchen would be a lot bigger than it is now and would have a sun room off the breakfast room.

Love that chalkboard, and would die for a huge island with stools and tons of storage underneath.

Love the chalkboard wall!When I was young I had to get wallpaper you could color in as I colored my mother’s white walls in red marker…and signed it with my sister’s name

Hi Liz and THI! I’m so not compromising on my next kitchen. And I love the dark soapstone countertops…they look less harsh than granite (although I like granite too!)
I’m loving that kitchen! I really want to paint my kitchen cabs white (just have to find the perfect white) this summer. I’m sick of the aging yellow maple that looks sickly! Thanks for the inspiration photos.
