Home Sweet Home: Part II


So if you haven't read the post, "Home Sweet Home," I would suggest you do so first.  This Part II will make much more sense if you do so.  

Ok so I forgot that there were more pictures that I downloaded into my photo library to show you all!  So here are the rest.... hence, part II.


I could totally paint my kitchen this color yellow.  It's not too bright, but not too faint that you can hardly tell it's yellow.  I want a happy kitchen that has a lot of sunlight coming in, and the yellow helps. :)


I really like the drapes!!!!  So cute!  I don't love the pattern so much, but I totally dig the bunchy type of drapes.  I think they add the personality that I like to the kitchen.


So I think the backsplash in this kitchen is hideous!  But If you move your eyes up just a little, you will notice a lovely open cupboard displaying some adorable dishes ( and the dishes are even the right color).  That is what I love.  I really like the open cupboards that are at the end of the cupboards that kind of have a rounded edge... I don't know if you can imagine what I am trying to explain but it kind of reminds me of an old house.  That's a really bad way to describe it but I guess it's kind of a little hint of vintage.  And I think Spencer thinks I am crazy because I like vintage/antique things sometimes... he always double checks to make sure that I want a new looking house... not one that looks really old because I am always pointing out the houses to him that are older and have a lot of personality to them.  I always reassure him that it can look new but I want some pieces that give it some kind of personality that makes it a little different than the normal modern decorations that you see these days.  Well... all of that made sense to me so I'm just going to leave it at that haha sorry!!  Oh and I like the cabinets in this picture too.


I really like that the backsplash wasn't full of just tiling and that it just has a little touch of fancy design on the tile.  :)


Um.... love this idea.  And I really like how everything is neatly labeled and such instead of having all those ugly spice containers that they come in.  This is a narrow cupboard that actually has a door that you can close when you're done.  I like this much better then a spice rack!  And they look so organized!

I want a light yellow kitchen too!! I think we have similar taste in things :) Where did you get all your pictures from?

Melissa said...

In the meantime...take pics of your current apartment for yourself and for us all to see :)

How 'bout some pictures of your *actual* apartment eh?

Rebekah said...

I love all of those things! But I hope this isn't a downer but you can't have ALL of those things in ONE kitchen! :) Oh and along with Melissa and Paul lets see some pictures of your actual apartment for some comparison! :)
and P.S. me and mom were cracking up at this post! you are so funny! I love you and miss you! Mom would also like to know if Spencer likes those bar stools?!

I think it is great that you have starting planning your future kitchen too! It helps me to not feel so silly about having my kitchen completely picked out! I have the cabinets the colors, the dishes, appliances, really everything picked out. Now for the big bucks to fulfill my dream....
