Home-Kitchen Accessories

This first picture has a very creative storage solution: the barn door.  I've seen larger ones used to hide laundry facilities, but this is the first I've seen of one used for a pantry.  Of course the color helps :)

Up next, lighting.  SchoolHouse Electric is a great source for these types of fixtures:

Backsplashes are your chance to really define your kitchen.  You can show your style, and pretty inexpensivly, if you do it yourself. You can't go wrong with glass piano tile:

                                     

And finally, stools.  The first is a BassamFellows Tractor Sool:

This is a Thos. Moser High Stool:

Home-Kitchen

There is without a doubt a common thread in the pictures I select for kitchens: white subway tile.  I installed it myself in my own kitchen, which should tell you how simple it is to do.  I also really love sage green painted cabinets, which I also painted my kitchen.  Of course, once I realized that the sample pint I bought wasn't real paint, I had to sand down the counters and repaint them.  This time I went for a brighter green.  Ah, the joys of the learning process.

This picture was the inspiration photo I used when re-doing my kitchen.  I even use red as an accent color.
