Kitchen Inspiration and Hand Mixer Giveaway!

IF I ever buy a house in the future, I will probably obsess the most about the kitchen . I'm usually pretty laid back when it comes to making decisions, but when I think about designing a kitchen, it has to meet specific criteria which includes: a clean and simple layout that allows for plenty of natural light (which means lots of windows), a viking professional stove and oven, open cabinets where you can display all your pretty ceramics, and little pops of color here and there. I've been scouring the internet for kitchen design inspiration over the past few days and these are among my favorites:

{I love how the counter stools are set up around the island in this kitchen. Makes it the perfect hangout spot}

{the next two kitchens are my favorite. I think it's because it has a lot of yellow, teal, and white- my favorite colors}

{simple yet elegant}

Speaking of kitchens, the generous folks at cookware.com, have allowed me to chose a product to give away to one of my lucky readers! Since the giveaway is kitchen themed, it dawned on me that no kitchen is complete without a mixer! Whether you're a cook or a baker, this thing makes everything almost effortless. Before I graduated to my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, I used a hand mixer given to me by my mom. That little thing helped me make hundreds of savory and sweet goodies, and I can't picture life without it.
