Inspiration: Kitchen

If you're decorating a home Pinterest is about the best thing to ever happen. I am convinced that just seeing different pieces together on a board has already prevented me from making some pretty drastic design mistakes. 

I like to put things together, sit with is awhile and see how I feel. I decided early that the basic color/material scheme would be black, white and wood. Initially I wanted to do a black and white kitchen with black bottom cabinets and white on top, but it turns out that just won't work in my space so I went back to the drawing board (although I still love it and think it's beautiful in the right space!)

First Idea: Black & White

So I had to think about how I wanted it to feel... a little rustic, a little modern, but still comfortable, approachable and warm. I know those sound like crazy adjectives to describe a kitchen! Here is where I landed: Modern white cabinets with a cement-looking countertop (cement is crazy/stupid expensive so I'm on the hunt for a great alternative) and a vintage farm table for warmth.
