Nha means House

I have been collecting lots of picture for my ideal kitchen, but it won’t happen for a long time, maybe another decade or so.  I am happy with my kitchen, though I wish it had more cabinet and counter space, and I wish the space was larger to accommodate more cooks.  I have a lot of friends that love to cook and several people has asked me to giving them cooking lesson, which I am seriously considering but my kitchen probably wouldn’t allow more than two students at a time.

This morning I woke up to early and started browsing through my RSS feed and came across this kitchen and realized this is exactly what I want, and Gwyneth Paltrow had it!  Check it out – found via Bijou Kaleidoscope.  Check out the two white gorgeous chandeliers, her grill stove top and her two ovens and the black glass cabinets. Love Love Love!  I also love her huge woodblock island and that she has such a huge window on one side, and she also has sky lights to bring in more light. Just lovely…I am in love and totally want!

Here are some more random pics that I have been saving for a long time. I’m sorry I can’t give credit out, but if you recognize, please let me know and I’ll update it!

Here’s another view of her kitchen that I have had for a long time and didn’t even realize it belong to her

As you can see, I am loving the color black or the dark charcoal grey and white combinations with open space and lots of lights and windows.  I think that is a must for me because I love the outdoors and cook so much with fresh and local ingredients, aka my P-Patch! 

As for the appliances, I had a Viking stove when I had my catering business and would go back to them hen I get my stove top and a definitely two ovens because most dishes do not cook at the same temperature.  If possible two dishwashers, one for the heavy duty items and another for all the glassware and chinaware.  I would love to get a Sub Zero fridge and wine storage too since we are talking about my ideal kitchen.  Plus a walk in pantry area to store all the dry items and to store all my heavy duty food equipments and machines.  I think also really important is to have a heavy duty hood over my Viking stove because I believe in searing and grilling your food before cooking it.

What is your ideal kitchen?
