kitchen inspirations

This is one of my favorite inspiration photos. I think the color scheme here is so well done. The calming warm yellow combined with the dark wood of the bar stools and purple lavender. The green and beige in the next room combined with the open iron chandelier. love the white cabs, the light granite and the polished nickle faucet. all the colors and textures work so well together. It looks like they carried the white of the cabinets through all the trim, but the ceiling is a much warmer, muted tone...

Less warm and inviting, still-- I love this french country kitchen. the clean blue and white, the sense of space from the cathedral ceiling. i love the blue check and the dark hard wood table and the gorgeous chandelier. i would warm it up with hardwood on the floor and some window treatments. the marble counter tops are beautiful but might be more practical with our pick-soapstone. anyway definitely an inspiration picture.
