June’s Room of the Month: Kitchen

Kitchens. They are the heart of the home. So it it seems very appropriate to start a new monthly feature highlighting this central room of our daily lives. At my house, we are in the home stretch of a bit of crafty renovation on our warehouse; the beau has tirelessly built out a new bedroom for us closer to the kitchen and living rooms, including a fabulously well executed closet {thank you!} ….all 18 feet of it.

So I am now itching to continue revamping our space and the kitchen would ideally be next. Until that dream becomes a reality, I will happily collect these inspirational images of industrial-esque kitchens that are perfectly well suited for our unconventional urban space. One thing that all these photos have that we don’t: lovely windows of daylight flowing into the kitchen {I suppose that is the difference between Loft living and Warehouse living}. We’ll have to settle for what we’ve got with 15ft ceilings and a skylight; which is definitely charming on rainy days!

This Kitchen above is a bit too refined, but I loved the causal straw pendants and the striped rugs!

This last image below is from the latest issue of Lonny Magazine…I love the combo of colors and materials. LOVE the painted base cabinets and the fact that they opted to forgo upper cabinets. With such great bones architecturally and a Hamptons view outside, who can blame them! I’ll save this gem for my future home when it’s time to move on from the warehouse.

I would likely select a different barstool for my own twist, but the rest is fab!
