Dreaming Again

So this might be severe nesting, or spring coming on (it is above the freezing temp. of 32 degrees so technically it is spring in MN) but I am back to dreaming about the kitchen again...  I know I know I promised not go go here again ... buuuuut IKEA was calling my name.

   

I had a little time today while Emily was napping and Bryan was taking the LSATs to play on IKEA's website (we are sidestepping the fact that Bryan took the LSATs today until we know he aced them and that every law school wants him...until then mum is the word).

I have created my dream kitchen, the one that requires no walls to be torn down, no electrical to be moved and no plumbing in sight....Bryan is very enthusiastic about my ideas.  I used the measuring tape to draw and measure my lines on my wonderfully accurate and to scale blueprint...later to find out there were rulers in our junk drawer (Bryan was the one to point that out, don't know what I would do without him).

I have priced out everything - even the tile on the floor to the door knobs.  The price tag did not stop my heart, and best yet did not scare off my husband.  We are going to visit the store tomorrow (after I feed Bryan coffee and breakfast - tip to all - taking a man to IKEA to "dream" must start with coffee and food).

So here are some of my ideas that I have stolen off the internet:

Love Everything about this Kitchen

For a bit of Whimsy for above the Sink - Lovely from West Elm

Counter Tops

Would love, love, love these above my dinner table handing from my vaulted ceiling (when I say vaulted - I mean more like slanted)      again from West Elm

Another To Do for Mr. Vargas....

Wallpaper - are you feeling the Gray Theme yet?

So I don't know exactly how to make the pictures all line up cute or be able to type in between pictures - but I will have the husband figure that out tomorrow if he survives our trip to IKEA .... to obviously give my kitchen a punch of color I am going to paint my table a buttery (but still bright) yellow.  The table is one of the many projects I have started and not yet finished - however it is completely stripped and ready to go. God I love Spring - makes you want to do everything at once :)
