Contemplating the Kitchen....

My thoughts on the new kitchen are constantly changing. Weighing up cost, function, how much longer do I plan to be in my little place and then will it become a rental or will I sell, do I create a mini version of the dream kitchen or do I put in the bare basics. However - one thing that has remained throughout the whole thought process. The black and white flooring. A long lasting love affair I don't plan to give up anytime soon.

I have the same thoughts with my kitchen! I have a million ideas but don't know if it's worth executing them... and the one thing I know I want are white cabinets :D

I love that this doesn't even look like a huge house, just a little flat somewhere - which gives me hope that I too can create something as inspiring in my little, tiny abode! Oh what I'd do for an eat-in kitchen - nothing worse than keeping busy in the kitchen while your guests are relaxing in another room.

Go for it, Kim xo

Kitchens are tough because they're so expensive. We are in a similar boat. I love my '50s style kitchen but eventually it will need an update. The black and white floor here is adorable!

You must do black and white flooring in your redo-- it is so "Kimberlee" (honestly, I really can't look at a black and white checkerboard floor anymore without thinking of you!)
