Kitchens ~ any style goes

[Lilac]

I think the kitchen may be my favorite room in the house ... it's the heart of a home to me. Even though we have a dining room, I prefer our eat-in kitchen for meals.

I like older style kitchens over anything very modern or futuristic. The retro-style kitchen I think look neat when you have the appliances to go with it. Some of the best kitchen are when they fit the style of the house.

Post pictures whether it's artwork or a photo. You can include storage pantries, butler pantries, islands or anything you think would be good in a kitchen.

As the cook, the one thing I want to see is the kitchen triangle. That seems to have disappeared in some of these monstrous homes. Moving back and forth with efficiency is my goal.

PS. I covet a monstrous fridge, preferably a Sub Zero.

My lady is all function when it comes to her kitchen

But

We combined our efforts when building/decorating our breakfast nook up at the cabin

I like black & white in decor, but that takes it to another level @Marie5656.

We've just finished redecorating and the walls are now sort of sage green.

@Capt Lightning, is your stove an Aga?

Really nice cupboards - colour and style. Very nice stove. Where is your fridge?

@Capt Lightning, is your stove an Aga?

Yes and no. It's an AGA Rangemaster which is a brand of AGA making electric and dual fuel cookers. This is mine. It has two ovens, a separate grill and 5 cooking rings in a ceramic hob.

Thanks, the cupboard doors are solid maple 'Shaker style' - the kitchen has a 'U' layout and the fridge and freezers are off to the right of the picture.

We were seriously looking at having a traditional Aga many years ago & would have had to rearrange the layout. The deal breaker was that we couldn't have it running all year around with our weather. It would have been great in winter.

I like the one you have @Capt Lightning. I would love to have two ovens in the kitchen. Right now I have a second stove (my original) hooked up in my basement that I use during holidays & canning season. Basically, I have a small second kitchen.

I've had one dual fuel stove with a LP gas cook top & electric oven which was very nice. The one thing I don't want is an all electric. I used one that we had at work & found out real quick that I couldn't control the burners like I could gas & didn't ever get used to it.

I couldn't have clear doors or open shelves. Too much tupperware!

We are looking at redoing the kitchen. I know it will be challenging. We're trying to find the balance of how much to leave, how much to rip out. A full remodel is so expensive. There's been no remodel at all since '91. House is from the 70's.

This sounds exciting @hearlady ! Tell us more; modern, cottage, retro, or....? built in pizza oven?
