Touring the parade of homes is something we look forward to doing every year. It’s always refreshing to gather new decor and design ideas. As if we don’t already have long running to do list, we always manage to come home with even more ideas to implement in our own homes.

Arguably kitchens are the most important room in a home. But have you ever pondered why?

Household kitchens were once designed solely for preparing and cooking meals. However, over the last few decades the kitchen has become the main hub of the home.

The kitchen is the center of your day to day living. This is one area of the home in which every family member uses on a daily basis. Social gatherings even tend to congregate in the kitchen. In short, the kitchen is a space for creating memories and bonding with those we love.

In this gallery you’ll see beautiful dream kitchen ideas you’re sure to want incorporated into your own home.

Traditional Twist On Modern

Generally speaking, I tend to lean more toward the traditional look, but there’s something about this kitchen that captivates me.

Black shaker kitchen cabinets with a modern crown detail, french oak floors, white and gold cafe appliances, modern gold pendant lights over the lighting.

The use of shaker style cabinetry creates a timeless look. These simple lines also add character in the crown molding.

There’s also something about the contrast of light and dark that draws me in. The mix of pattern use with tile and stone along with the colors in this kitchen are divine.

I’m a DIY enthusiast at heart—after all it’s in my DNA, thanks to my parents and grandparents who are avid DIYers. I’m also a devoted wife and mother of three amazing kids who keep me on my toes. My DIY journey began after my husband, Dan and I bought our first home. With high-end taste and a tight budget, I was determined to transform our builder-grade space with creativity and minimal cost. There’s nothing more satisfying than taking something unwanted and making it into a cherished piece, whether I’m restoring a vintage dresser or upcycling everyday finds.

I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned along the way and helping others create beautiful spaces without breaking the bank! When I’m not hunting for new DIY projects, I love spending time outdoors with my family, hiking, snowshoeing, and traveling.
