So in the new house, the area that I am most excited about and putting most thought into at the planning stage, is the kitchen. I have always wanted a yellow country kitchen and that is what I am working towards.
The kitchen will have white cabinets and wood floors with a mid. grey/brown counter (backsplash to be chosen) something like this inspiration image. I won’t have glass on my upper cabinets but I do like the natural stone backsplash tiled on an angle.
The other area in the kitchen that I am very excited about is the desk area. We have added cabinets all the way along one wall and at the end will be a desk for the phone, and even my computer while I wait for the basement (and an office) to be finished. I like this inspiration photo of a kitchen desk as ours will have a window above it as well.
But my mission this week is to locate the lighting. I am purchasing the lights myself for the kitchen and bath areas to avoid the standard builder’s selection. In the kitchen, I really, really, want school house lights but I don’t want to pay so much for them. These ones are from Restoration Hardware but are a little pricy (since I want at least 2) and I would have to also pay for shipping. But I love them. I just have to find my available and better priced options.

Yes, my name is really Janet Murphy. Check out my new kitchen under construction. We’ve got most of the light fixtures up since this pic was taken. I hope to update the pics this week. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31131307&id=1038667875 My countertops and sinks are swanstone, and my backsplash is Wilsonart that looks like brushed stainless. the wallpaint is called ochre.
