Dreaming of... Kitchens (still)

We've been talking to some contractors and sharing our dreams for the kitchen. I think we're deciding to go the contractor route because, as I've shared before, we have analysis parlysis. We talk and talk (and talk) about remodeling our kitchen, but never get any further than that. My husbnad has decided the the extra money for someone to do some deciding and delegating for us is worth it. He calls it the hassle factor. He's beginning to win me over to his way of thinking, except that we're having a tough time finding someone who completely shares in our vision...

Sure it would be nice to gut our space and start fresh, but I love the 1950's feel of our house and would really like to work with it (as well as not spend a butt load of money). While we're still searching for a team to work with, take another further peak into my kitchen dreams:













It's a bit unnerving how excited I get when I see apron front sinks, butcher block countertops and pretty pendant lights... What features make your heart go pitter pat?

Oh, and by the way, I no idea what we're eating for the week. I kind of forgot to meal plan on Sunday. The holiday weekend kind of threw me off (but it was oh-so-nice). I'll be trying to figure out our meals asap... Any ideas?

Love those pictures!!!! I love the soft white with the pop of color. There's one with a pop of yellow that I am in love with. I can't wait to see how this all turns out for you. Meals...steak, pulled pork & potato salad. I'm not much help.

All of the above! Love the aqua subway tile and the yellow stool and basket.

I've been on a crab salad kick lately. Just a package of imitation crabmeat, some mayo, lemon juice, celery, onion, salt and pepper. Serve it on deli sandwich buns with lettuce and tomato and a side of chips. Yum!

Love the marble countertops with white cabinets with a little wood butcher block countertop to break up the monotony and formality. Love your taste.
