These days I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Between preparing meals for my family, recipe development, and shooting photos of recipes for my blog, I feel like I spend half of my awake- time in there. If a fairy godmother suddenly appeared in front of me and granted me a wish, guess what my wish would be? If you guessed a brand new kitchen, then you’re right!
My current kitchen is practical and perfect for home use, but with video equipment, lights, cameras, and mixing bowls and plates of all sizes for taste testing, it does feel cramped. I also don’t get natural sunlight so it has to be lit with lights. My wish list goes go on and on, but a girl’s got to dream right? Do you also dream about a perfect kitchen? Now I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately so here is how I imagined my dream kitchen:
- Kitchen countertop – white in color, man-made and non-reflective so it doesn’t get stained from the food.
- Gas cook top on an island, facing away from the walls so I can face the cameras as I prep and cook the food.
- Sink and prep space next to the cook top, so I can cook the food right after washing and cutting.
- 2 fridges, one for home use and one for photos and videos (I can’t show my home fridge, it’s stuffed with produce!)
- Large windows to let in natural light.
- Rustic table & bench large enough for the family to enjoy a good meal.
- Lastly, smart & elegant appliances that help you store, prepare, and complete delicious meals.
I’ve created a Pinterest board with kitchen layouts that I love. Check them out! Speaking of appliances, I was recently introduced to the LG Studio product line and I fell in love with it! They’ve partnered with Nate Berkus to design amazing looking appliances with state of the art technology. Product details below:

Good luck!
I live in a house that is 58 years old. In fact it is a old farm house. I am in of a kitchen make over. The cabinets and countertops are original to the house. In desperate need of a makeover.
Hi Rhonda! Thank you for your comment! 🙂
What a great collection of kitchen design inspirations, I feel that my kitchen is cramped sometimes and I wish I have big windows for lots of natural light and shelves everywhere to store. I would love a rustic table and bench 🙂 makes it easy to photograph though!
Oh those are some amazing kitchens..and yes I think we all dream about beautiful kitchens! I think your vision is fantastic and perfect for one family as well as for photography! Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures!
That is an amazing price. I think my kitchen is too small to really win that one- there is only so much a designer could do! It’s still nice to dream, though.
Sooo gorgeous! I love the clean, sleek look of LG Studio appliances and I love Nate Berkus!
What a great prize! Love Nate Berkus!
I also have a Pinterest Board for kitchens, I am happy with my own kitchen (especially designed, so I should be :-)) but I am planning another kitchen in Italy, and I am always looking for ideas!
