I’m always designing, writing about and thinking about kitchens.  It’s what I do.  Today I started thinking about what MY dream kitchen would look like and thanks to our uber talented design pals over at houzz.com I think I found it.

It’s this stunning kitchen by Shannon Pepper Designs in New Zealand.  Not only is it a visual pleasure, but it would also be a blast to cook in!  It features glossy white cabinetry with contemporary slab fronts, white marble counters and a stunning red painted glass backsplash.  I’m loving how the red is picked up by the bar stools too.  I love, love, love.  I wonder if she calls this “Pepper Red”?  If not, she should!  

I also love the contrasting cabinetry in the adjacent bar. Now for me I must confess I would tweak just a couple of things because that’s what I do.  I take a dream and I tailor-make it to suit YOU.  But wait we were talking about me today!  I would have run that HOT “Pepper Red”  backsplash all the way up behind the hood and I would have lowered those upper cabinets because I’m short and because it would give me more storage.  Something like this:As they say, a girl can dream.  Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and tons of beauty, love, health and prosperity in the new year!! Thanks for reading Kitchens for Living.  XOXOXOX
