KITCHENS WITH THE WARMTH OF WOOD

As much as I love white kitchens, there's something to be said for the
warmth that wood brings to a space.  
Here are some kitchens I found that incorporate a little or a lot of wood in a variety of ways.

This kitchen has soft yellow walls and gorgeous white ceiling beams
that complement the beautiful natural wood cabinets.
That's a pretty amazing sink too along with the countertops.

There's an interesting mixture of wood and painted cabinets in this one.
The range hood has such wonderful detail and makes a great focal point.

Of course I love the blue planked walls and they look great with the wood 
cabinetry and flooring in this kitchen.

There is just a touch of wood here with the old table and the door on the right
but it's just enough to add that warm feeling along with the painted cabinetry.
besides, I really love this kitchen so I had to include it  : )

Look at these amazing wide planked floors and old beams on the ceiling ~ gorgeous!
And isn't that a beautiful cabinet with the glass doors on the far wall?

What I noticed about this kitchen is the wood countertop.
I like how it looks with the trim around the windows ~ very pretty.

This kitchen is almost all wood, even the ceiling!
I think the light color of the wood makes it a welcoming
space without being too dark.

This itty bitty kitchen is so cute.
The white bead board is a nice contrast with the darker tone of the cabinets.

Look at all of the character in this cottage kitchen.
Beautiful planked ceiling and notice the old fashioned cupboard on the right.
Mint colored cabinets are something you don't see too often ~ do you like them?

Look at this stunning kitchen!
All wood and topped off by the huge stone hearth over the stove.
Beautiful sunlight streams in through the windows around the top of the room.

Do you have wood tones in your kitchen or would you like to?
I used to think that wood would (ha ha) make a room dark
but when done right, it doesn't have to.

Thanks for coming by ~ I hope you have a happy day!

  1. I love the light green cabinets with the wood ceiling. Now that ours is bright we are thinking about wood floors for our kitchen next year.

  3. I am right in the middle - what works best for me is pickled oak - it's very light and matches all my doors and staircase.....but I have white baseboards and a touch of wood, ivory and black. All white and all dark wood is too extreme for this middle child Libra, haha. BALANCE in the middle is always my comfort.

    Neat post.

  4. Great kitchens. I so agree that is why in our new home I went with wood in our French country kitchen. Take a look I just posted.

  6. JoAnne- This is a wonderful post. I, too, like a wood kitchen. The first one you posted has hickory cabinets and that is what we used in this house. It is a wood with a lot of movement in it. Cabinet makers do not like working with it because it has little pockets of "gas" in it. Hit just right it "explodes" and sounds like a gun going off. lol The color deepens a bit with age.
    You found some amazing examples here. xo Diana

  9. Love all the kitchens that share with us. We put in a new kitchen a couple of years ago. I was torn between white cabinets or wood cabinets...and I decided on the wood. I really love how it turned out.

  10. I love having wood in the kitchen... Don't tell anyone, but that's what I was hiding in the pictures in my last post ;) I realise reading that post (late) that even if I suscribed to your blog weeks ago, I don't get the updates by email; I don't know why...

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
