11.19.09 / What’s Cookin’?

I really hate my kitchen.  Take a look… (Don’t mind the kiddos hangin’ out.  I was trying to keep them busy with snacks while I took the pic.)

Don’t get me wrong, it could be worse.  It’s a good size with a functional layout and oodles of storage.  However, I despise the orangey-oak cabinets and the busy laminate countertops.  Here are kitchens that I enjoy looking at…
Brown Design: lots of molding, contrast and textures
getdecorating.com: similar layout to ours…totally doable
Marin Kitchen Company: so airy and bright
DecorPad:  white, grey and dainty
So, the whites have it.  Our cabinet doors are coming down this weekend in preparation for a budget-friendly facelift.  We may be seeing the contents of our cabinets for a few weeks, but that’s okay.  We’re not hosting Thanksgiving.
