When we decided that we were going to build a home, I started scouring blogs and design magazines for inspiration. I recently came across two magazine articles that I had torn out and showed to our builder as the inspiration for our current kitchen. I can’t remember which magazines they came from, but I’m thinking Traditional Home and Kitchens & Baths.
Based largely on these photos, our kitchen was born!
Here’s a peek:

That's so cool to see the similarities, but also the way you guys tweaked things and made it different/more modern. Love!
I do the same thing 🙂 I have a binder with page protectors that I put my magazine clippings in ….
I am planning an addition and basic update of the main part of the house this Spring 🙂
Wow! It's gorgeous! You should get YOUR kitchen in a magazine!
I LOVE your conountertops! My husband and I are about to redo our kitchen, and our contractors keep trying to persuade me away from marble, which is definitely what I want!!
What are your countertops, and how have you enjoyed them?
i am in LOVE with your kitchen…so tastefully done my friend! it is just perfect
Your kitchen is one of my absolute favorites and one of my inspirations for my kitchen at the home we are building. Cabinets are going in this week and I am dying to see the final result! I am sure you know how that feels!
I never get tired of looking at your kitchen!
Still one of my favorite Kitchens!
I love the way your kitchen turned out. It's also neat to see how you put your own touch on it compared to your inspiration pictures. I'm also glad that you love the finished product and are happy with your choices.
Absolutely gorgeous kitchen! Went from wonderful inspiration to fabulous reality!! Hardwood floors – excellent, pendent lights – excellent, big windows – excellent, island – great, all great stuff! What a wonderful outcome! And I’m sure a lot of work! Enjoy how beautiful it is!
Your vision definitely became a reality! I'm afraid for our future kitchen designer…..I have way too many ideas I want incorporated in there! Adding to the long list your fabulous lights….love those! Your kitchen is gorgeous!
Your kitchen is so beautiful…we are in the final stages of building our new home and I admit that I looked to yours for much of the design inspiration. (lights? marble? :)…so Thanks! I can't wait to move in next week (we hope) and enjoy it…thanks for sharing your inspiration.

It all looks so pretty!
Hi,
The first picture is from a local company here in Toronto, Canada. Their web site is http://www.downsviewkitchens.com
Love their kitchens! As for your kitchen, it's stunning! Love your farmhouse sink.
Cheers!

So amazing! It looks fabulous. I love when things come to life from inspiration!
Lovely! So wonderful that you've got all you wanted for your kitchen. Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
your kitchen is still one of my favorites….love it.
wow — so cool to see the inspiration…you certainly nailed it!!!
So beautiful! How have your marble counters held up? We take care of our things, but do cook a lot, so I'm not sure if marble would stay looking good in our house. . .but I sure ~love~ it! I'd love to know your experience with it, how it ages, patina, your take on the pros/cons, etc. Thanks for your great blog!
LOVE all of these images. I think I used YOUR kitchen in my inspiration list 🙂 We updated our kitchen when we moved in, but I'm dying to do a major (knock down walls and start fresh) remodel. I'm pinning this for when the time comes.
When I build a home one day, your kitchen will be in the inspiration pics I show my builder 🙂

Your kitchen is beautiful, Megan! I love the photo of your pretty staircase in the background.
I love your blog & kitchen! Now that you've lived in your house for awhile, I'd love to see a post on things you might have changed when building it. Like floor plans, countertop colors, paint colors, etc.
what an awesome kitchen you have!
Stunning Megan! Every room in your house just amazes me with beauty.
I don't think I could ever tire of looking at your beautiful kitchen!!
Such a beautiful space, fun to see your original inspiration. Love the view of the curved staircase through the arched entry…a very lovely siteline! ENJOY, Janell
Magnificent. You took those pages that inspired you and turned them into something real, something that you can be proud of. Your new kitchen is stunning, and it's all thanks to the ideas and work you put into it.
I have been really wanting to redo my kitchen for the longest time now! I have so many great ideas. The only problem is, I don't have a lot of money to work with! Are they cheaper ways of renovating, or is everything pretty expensive?
