Kitchen anyone??

So I may not have my own kitchen, but I sure would like one of these:

These kitchens make my heart go pitter-patter.

Her sink!! I think sinks tend to get underrated in kitchens. When they are really more important than lots of other things. I mean sinks get used multiple times a day! (Sometimes all day if you have dishes "soaking" in it)

These cabinets!!! I die for open cabinetry. Especially with white dishes. 

Can I go live in a french stone cottage? please?? 

Those walls! Those floors! Who needs hardwood floors (Which you have to be careful about getting wet... in a kitchen... with sinks.....) when you can have that?!?

Crystal chandelier in my kitchen? Yes please! Especially if I had that antique holding my dishes.

Dude this trough sink. I may faint from the amazingness of it.

After watching so many House Hunters and witnessing decoration catastrophes (I mean there is good taste, no taste, and terrible terrible taste), it is heartening to see such wonderful designs in our own country. 

PS. One of the great things about blogging is that it allows me to put up links and pictures of stuff that I want for future reference, without actually having to file it away. Score!!!

PS. PS. I may or may not have had this written and posted less than an hour after it was posted on Cote de Texas's blog. Yay me?
