Great post. Thanks to you I've now found some great new (to me) blogs to check out, and that's what I love about the blogging community - where else would you meet so many like-minded people?

Dear Maria,
I love all of these kitchens. Do you know why ? Because they are achievable and not those gi-normous impersonal kitchens that cost a small fortune !!
I have the exact same taps in my kitchen as Janice @ Canadian Kitchen although, mine have seen better days and I call them shabby chic now !! haha.
I have already entered Ness's generous giveaway and put it on my sidebar. I chose the same picture as you. That's one of my favourite cushions of hers.
I also have that grey iron planter on Lulu's coffee table and, I am desperate to own a Gustavian clock like the one she has got.
No wonder I like this post....I've got lots of the things in it (although, not enough !!). This is the trouble with blogging. I am always wantinng to re-decorate !!!! XXXX
Fantastic choice of blogs to share Maria..Tina' is as gorgeous as her beautiful home..if not more gorgeous actually..she is so crafty and clever! I will be sure to check out the other two mentioned as I am not familiar with ..but look forward to visiting. Anna x
Maria, I agree, all three are wonderful, homey, gorgeous kitchens with charm and personality. Love them all.
True Maria, these bloggers are very gifted about interiors and some of the photo already inspired me for my upcoming home!! Especially the Ikea kitchen:I chose all my furniture at Ikea, it's cheap but very nice and has this nordic style that we all love so much..I will show you as soon as my house is ready, I have so many ideas!!
Have a good Sunday dearest!
Thanks Maria,
For introducing us to some new gals. I know Lulu who is one of my fav allies in design! Don't you just want to crawl into the pics of her rooms and stay there??
Oh, I'm so glad Tina's beautiful kitchen is featured here..! She is just a lovely human being! And I'm smitten with Janice's kitchen - it's adorable and thrifty, too - so inspiring. Thanks for posting about these wonderful women and homes, Maria!

Someday I will have a white kitchen. I love subway tile(just did both my bathrooms) and farm sinks. Thanks for all the new blogs to go to. This is why I don't get anything done!
Enjoy your Sunday.
Hi,

We're getting ready to make some changes in our kitchen, so I've been seeking out inspiration. Thanks for sharing, Maria!

All of the kitchens are beautiful and these are three of my favourite blogs.. and I love Ness' blog and her beautiful creations. xx
Very sweet of you to post for my sister LuLu from DustyLu; she was so happy and thankful too. What fun : )
Such a beautiful family you have!
Ciao~
I love Tina and Janice's blogs too - they both have such lovely homes. I haven't visited Dusty Lu so I'll have to pop over there and say hi...
Dear Maria
those kitchens are to die for !There are so many beautiful blogs around it's just impossible to keep up.. you have a gift of showing us the creme de la creme here!
Thanks, you are brilliant !!
xxx, Flaviana
I LOVE white farmhouse kitchens, too!!! I would love to have one someday, also. Those are some great photos you shared! I love all those pretty kitchens and I really love the farmhouse sinks!
Michelle
Maria,
Wonderful post. I love the white too, but the last one you showed, LuLu I think. She has a blast of black in there & I think that just makes it all pop & look amazing. Love those sinks too. I'm getting one from Ikea, so glad they are only 200 there. I agree about the faucets too, funny they are more than the sinks! I think I have to steal that clay tag idea. I've been doing clay buttons lately. Lisa
I had recently found the Canadian cottage. It is amazing...I love it!
You too are a new blog for me...And I am so glad I found you both!
I love the real life, simple elgance that your homes have in common!
Have a beautiful and inspired day!
Blessings~donna
