WHAT'S HAP-"PINNING": DREAM KITCHEN EDITION

I always say to Kyle that I'd totally cook more if I liked our kitchen better.  Whether this is true or not is my little secret ;)  I love a kitchen that is well lit (preferably with natural lighting), which our kitchen definitely lacks. I'm also over the warm color tones in ours, And, I need LOTS of space to cook and love to spread out and make a mess, which has never been an option in our kitchen and certainly is even less of an option now that we've had to reorganize. I knew babies required lots of stuff-- it's one thing to hear it and another to see it! What once was pretty decent counter space for meal prep and the likes is now space for our bottle steamer, our bottle brushes, and our drying "lawn." 

To say I've been dreaming about what the kitchen in my future home will look like is a complete understatement. And, thanks to my Pinterest board, I know exactly what I want!

So, dear hubby, I promise I'd cook in a kitchen that's...

Light and airy
