Breaking Down a Great Kitchen

Now here's a kitchen that really speaks to me.  I like it so much I thought I'd share IT and some of the reasons I love it.

• Vintage style and white(Christopher Peacock inspired)
• Inset doors on the cabinets
• Ceiling is covered in tongue and groove paneling painted semi gloss
• Light fixtures don't all match, but they go together and there are several of them for plenty of light (I can't cook in the dark)
• Upper cabinets have glass door fronts that make the space feel bigger.  I think I like this better than open shelves (less dust).

• Three windows over the sink come almost to the countertop
• Natural Roman shades (bamboo?) break up the all white-ness.
• Plants
• Bridge faucet 
• Undermount white porcelain apron sink (A word here--my deep undermount sink gives me a back ache when I wash pots and pans, the bending over and reaching down is not good but I love the look)
• Contrasting countertops
• Marble on the island (this is bianco Venatino)
• Urn and wire basket
• Contrasting hardware finish
• Clasps on upper cabinets--vintage look all the way
• Brackets under the cabinets
• Beaded board back splash
• Wide board floors in a dark stain
• Sub-zero
• Wine cooler
• There's a Wolf range not pictured

I think one thing I love about this kitchen style is it's timelessness. Scullery kitchens like this have been around a very long time. We see butler's pantries in this style all the time in vintage bungalows. 

What do you think?
