Do you dream of one day having a
beautiful gourmet kitchen?
Do you pin Kitchens on Pinterest
like a mad woman? 🙂
I know I do.
Here is my “Favorite Kitchens“
So, you can only imagine how much I loved
the kitchen I am about to share with you.
Remember I recently introduced you to a
dear friend of mine, Jeanette – when we visited
Carmel by the Sea together.
Well, it just so happens that Mrs J’s
kitchen is the most viewed ever post
on HGTV’s Rate My Space.
And with good reason.
Her kitchen was also featured on
the HGTV show by the same name.
She was also interviewed for the show.
How cool is that?
Look at these fabulous details…
They chose a beautiful cream glazed
cabinetry with lovely mouldings
and details.
Jeanette placed a wood cabinet
on each side of the large window.
The upper section features wire
for displaying purposes, and
it also fits in better with the design.
Isn’t this stunning?
Plantation-style shutters and
a mixture of hardware highlights this
gorgeous kitchen. Jeanette says the
knobs are from Top Knobs and she
used a mixture of eight different
styles, but they were all in a rusty
patina finish.
LOVE the Roo!
Jeanette says the table and chairs
are English imports.
The 48″ tabletop is cherry.
Each side of the table features a
hinged section which converts the
table into a 72″ oval table.
The next feature is one of my faves
of this space.
Look at this beautiful built-in cabinet!
This cabinet was featured on Rate
My Space as the inspiration area.
Understandable, huh?
Jeanette had the built-in cabinet painted
and glazed just like the island and
cabinetry. She wanted it to appear
as a piece of furniture. The top is solid
cherry. In case you are wondering
why there is a small tv here…
There is a small sitting area just off the
dining area where they spend a lot of time
reading and watching tv.
What a cozy and inviting area!
Here you can see the layout better…
I think you can all agree why this kitchen
is so popular on Rate My Space.
What I love about this kitchen is that
although it is very custom, it
is a look that can be easily achieved
by painting your cabinets, changing your
hardware and adding some moulding
features to plain cabinets for more of a
built-in appearance.
Remember how I added inexpensive
corbels to my own plain cabinets?
Little touches really do make such
a huge difference?
It’s all about creating a beautiful
look for less.
“…its all about the detail!“
Thanks, Jeanette, for allowing me to
share your remarkable kitchen with
my readers.
xxoo

I have a big smile on my face, just thinking back to the days on RMS where it all began for our little group. Jeanette has impeccable taste and her home and especially her kitchen shows it!! She not only has a wonderful design aesthetic, but she is one of the nicest ladies I have met in a long time that I am lucky enough to call a very dear friend. Barb this was such a great post, thanks for sharing her gorgeous kitchen with us.

Barb, it has been fun seeing my kitchen through your eyes. Just think, if I hadn’t done this renovation we would have never met! I am so thankful that I put those photos on the HGTV website. That simple thing has led to such wonderful friendships with you and Kathysue and the other girls in our little group of friends.

I love her kitchen. I remember seeing it on RMS years ago and had it tagged as a favorite of mine. BTW, I just looked around on your online shop and ordered something! I love what you’re selling! I wish you much success with it. I’ll try to do my part to keep you in business too. Ha!!

Hi Barb! Come look! I made a header for my blog using your instructions. It’s not as fancy as yours, but I like it!

That is a beautiful kitchen. These days I mostly dream of it all being clean at the same time, but when that happens I dream of updating it.
