Thanks to all for your comments on my bathroom related posts. I was planning on posting some kitchen images anyway, but I think now it’s a must!
As you can probably tell, my taste in kitchens runs along the same lines as bathrooms, mostly white and fairly classic. But not always. Here are a few that I’ve recently been drooling over and some oldies I’ve been holding onto – just in case…
A modern but classic looking kitchen by Joe Nye
Three classics by Steven Gambrel. This man can do no wrong in my eyes.
A very small but very luxurious kitchen by Hong Kong designer Steve Leung. So crisp, so fresh and so chic!
The kitchen of Michelle Smith featured in Elle Decor Oct ’07 . I have always loved the combination of black and white in kitchens – especially white cabinetry with black benchtops, and this is a great example. Plus I love the idea of having a breakfast bench – and having art in your kitchen.
From one of my favorite all time NY apartments, designed by Fox-Nahem. So classic. I love the vintage light fitting.
One of my many tear sheets I’ve been carrying around with me, from an Australian magazine. I love the combination of dark wood flooring and all white cabinetry. Plus the light!
Another old favorite, so classic.
These two are from a Melbourne home decorated by Stuart Rattle. I love the simplicity of this and how well it blends into the rest of the interior without necessarily looking too ‘kitcheny’. Plus I think the tiled wall/splashback looks remarkably stylish.
From the apartment of Timothy Whealon. I probably don’t need to say much more than that. Simple. Chic.
Again, the dark countertops and flooring with the white cabinetry. I must be onto something – it seems to be a recurring theme.
And another. Also a great example of displaying art successfully in a normally utilitarian room.
the NYC apartment is so AMAZING!! that kitchen is a dream come true….i love the brightness of it all.

Great pictures! It is so interesting how you can find a theme in decorating that you might not have been aware of when you were saving the pictures. In this case, the black countertops with the white cabinets.
Thanks Anna!
Mrs Blandings, good luck for your day of cooking and Happy Thanksgiving! I love the Fox-Nahem kitchen too, but of course the Steven Gambrel kitchens are so classic.
Kate, good luck with your renovations! Make sure you share some pics with us when its done.
Suzy – you have certainly posted some GORGEOUS kitchens here!

Oh,yes, I was hoping for this. And, no surprise they are all wonderful. Hats off to Gambrel, of course, but I also love the Fox Nahem – and hadn’t seen it before. Fun inspiration for those of us spending the day in the kitchen!
I love all these images! I big on white cabinetry in Kitchens. Can’t wait to do my own, which might closely resemble you last pic with simple glass cabinets.
