Amazing kitchens

I took this pictures about 4 years ago while on a home tour in the Salt Lake City, Utah area and fell in love with everything about it!! I love white kitchens so much! This is where I first fell in love with the robin’s egg blue color of the walls. I can’t seem to find the other pictures that I took of this house. It was one amazing home. I still dream about it.
Look at this black and white kitchen….I love the stripes and big check patterned fabric. I really like the glass cupboard doors on some of the top cupboards. The built in bench seating is just so adorable. It looks so inviting. I want to be there right now having a lovely breakfast…or lunch…or dinner…or even just a snack. 🙂 (photo from internet I don’t remember where)

This is probably one of my favorite kitchens….I call it Sweet Potatoes because of the sign in the background. I love the butcher block counter tops, the warm golden wood floors, the little “leg” styling of the cupboards touching the floor, the glass cupboard doors and the simple black knobs. OH yeah and the cute chalkboard sitting on the counter. This just says come on in everyone and let’s have a meal. Doesn’t it? (Photo from country living July 2002)
Okay now this is another one I love…It just says warm and cozy doesn’t it. Again another chalkboard in the kitchen (hanging in the back from a ribbon), glass doors, old fashioned knobs, wood floors and ivy topiaries. (photo from Remodeling Ideas Dec/Jan 2004)

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • I LOVED this post. I have an idea book, too, but I haven't been adding to it in a while. It's been more on my computer lately, but it's not the same. You must show more of that/those books!! :-) OH...I'm a white kitchen fan too!

  • I know there is just something about seeing kitchens all put together to get you in the mood to do a re-do! Please post pictures of your re-do when you are done. We will be checking out your blog.
