If I had the kitchen of my dreams...

If I had the kitchen of my dreams (and one day I will), I hope I'll have other options that the typical stainless steel appliances, dark wood cabinetry, and granite counter tops.

I want my kitchen to have a charming, Western European vibe - with a touch of Tuscany too. I love bright kitchens! White cabinets with brushed chrome hardware - like my mom's kitchen (so beautiful!).

My kitchen now is from the '60s and not too great, but I love my newly painted avocado-colored walls (think mint avocado, not '70s appliance avocado). I love my "happy" plates too and colorful accents around my kitchen. Mix and match stacks of solid blue, yellow, and green dishes. Colorful vintage posters.

If I had my dream kitchen, the first thing I'd do (besides taking a cooking class, or three!) is to fill my cabinets with Emile Henry bakeware! Have you seen the stuff? It has such a classy European vibe in amazing bold colors. I drool over the line (and everything else) every time I step foot inside a Williams-Sonoma.

Ahhhh... I love that dreaming is free!

My dream bathroom is like a spa, with sea glass tiles and thick beveled glass doors, a shower with two or three shower heads, and a eucalyptus steam. Ahhhhhhhh...heaven!
