But since I am sitting here after teaching all morning, I thought I would take my few moments of "me time" and do just that.
These are my inspiration pictures....via Home Design Board
My material choices are pretty solid:
Soapstone countertops or honed black granite (at least in one area of the kitchen)
Honed Carrara marble on another area of the countertops or island (if the kitchen isn't the size of an island already!)
Nice and very quiet dishwasher
White subway tile with grey grout
White/Dove White Shaker style cabinets with simple brushed nickel pulls & white planked walls...

Viking or Wolf stove
Interesting light fixtures. Really leaning toward something in brass...

So there ya go. My thinking on our new but completely fictional kitchen.
