Kitchen Renovation Inspiration Part 1 - Cabinets

A few weeks ago, DH and I made the decision to renovate our kitchen. It's a project I thought we'd be doing next year, but thanks to the first time home buyer tax credit, it looks like we can do it this year. I am really excited by anxious at the same time.

While browsing through dozens of cabinet books I came across this Thomasville Cabinet & Kitchen. I immediately fell in love. I love the cabinet colors, the hardware, the back splash - EVERYTHING! I think my absolute favorite part is the apron style sink. It gives such a good contrast to the cream colored cabinets and it's something different that you don't see every day.

I am using this kitchen as my color & style inspiration to convince DH that we should get light colored cabinets and not dark cherry. Don't get me wrong, I love dark cherry cabinets, it's just we have a more casual style in the house and I think cherry is too formal.

Over the next few days and weeks I'll post more inspiration photos and when demolition starts I'll keep you updated on the progress (or lack of).
