I Want That Kitchen! – Affordable Kitchens and Baths

Here at Affordable Kitchens & Baths, we while away a many an hour combing the internet and magazines for inspiring kitchens and baths. It was in one such hour of inspiration that we came across this BEA-U-TI-FUL specimen of a kitchen from TerraCotta Properties in New Jersey and Georgia. We’ve never met the folks at TerraCotta Properties, but judging by this lovely kitchen and the rest of their spectacular portfolio, we deem them geniuses . . . geniuses one and all.

The two-toned cabinetry in this kitchen speak to us on many levels. This effect always creates more depth and interest.

Commence drooling over the beautiful herringbone backsplash. We also love the wood island and oriental rug that give this elegant kitchen a warm, lived-in feel.

Yep, that's a mirror over the sink! Genius design choice. Kudos, TerraCotta Properties. Kudos. The reflective surface, coupled with carrying the tile backsplash and cabinetry all the way to the ceiling, enlarge this space and make it feel more grand. — Yep, that’s a mirror over the sink!

When you set out on your journey to remodel your own kitchen or bath, we suggest you take a page from our book. Spend many an hour whiling away on the internet, searching pretty pictures of kitchens that speak to you in some way. Bookmark, print or compile photos of kitchen elements that you envision in your own space. Spot a decorative range hood that you want for your very own? Tag it! See a backsplash pattern that you want to duplicate and base your entire remodel around? Print it! Compile a mood board or a binder of images that represent all that you want your future kitchen to be. This will make the journey toward getting the kitchen of your dreams much, much easier.
