White Kitchen Inspiration

I looked through many (say, a zillion) pictures of kitchens to get an idea of what I wanted my kitchen to look like.   Although my kitchen does not look exactly like any one of these, I did take elements from most of them.  It was important for me to look at as many examples as possible to really narrow down the look I wanted.

Mostly I wanted a clean, white space with a hint of blue on the wall.

This kitchen was my main inspiration.  It was for sale and is located in Australia, if you're interested in new digs, mate.

The whole house is gorgeous so I encourage you to check it out by clicking the House of Turquoise link.

Ok, enough gushing....  More kitchens:

This is the Something's Gotta Give (movie) kitchen.  Very copied, but always a classic.  I like the white subway tile and used this element for my own kitchen.


 Speaking of back splash, I love this blue subway tile (below).  I would have loved to use a color, but I figured white would not get tiring and is universally accepted if I ever sell the house.


 This kitchen (below) has glass counter top on the island and caesarstone on the perimeter.  I love how the glass looks like water.  The glass subway tile is the same color as the island counter, but less intense. 

Here are some more:




This one (above) has the inside of the cabinets painted blue adding softness to the white.


This one (above) has Ceasarstone and a classic farmhouse sink.  Great combo!





The one above is a bit on the modern side, but I like how the stainless farmhouse sink, the classic lights and the chunky stools and table pull it back to a classic modern.  Does that make sense?  I love the marble look.   The counters could be a Quartz called White America.

Have any favorites?
