Show me your "real life" kitchens...

[emdude]

Just moved into a new house. Kitchen is properly grim! We're going to get it knocked out and replaced ASAP. I've been drooling over various Pinterest but I have two kids (actually 2 messy, dirty boys). I'd love to know what people have that work in "real life". I can't see these beautiful glossy affairs working for me.

I'd love an amazing, stylish kitchen but want it to be practical too. I need ideas!!!!

I like kitchens with personality.

This is mine. It's my favourite part of the house.

Ooh that's nice

Some lovely kitchens posted

Just had my kitchen redone. Love it, esp quartz worktop and island with nothing appliance wise cut into it.

I’m about to move house to a place where we’ll defo be replacing the kitchen soonish. So I’m admiring all your lovely kitchens very much!
Great thread OP!

Lovely kitchen Pump.
Also going to go for two tone.
Maybe white and light blue/ gray.

@openup double oven yes. It's a rangemaster Toledo. It was already in the house. Wish I could afford a cream one!

@timeisslipping Yes I sanded them first very lightly. It's actually really easy to paint them. Planning to do them again now that the units and walls are done. Go for it, you can always re do them if you're not happy with the colour.

@mamaTT, your units are a beautiful colour, what is it please?

Loads of inspiration, thanks everyone for sharing. Hoping that in a year or so I will have a shiny new kitchen to show off

Loving this thread, loads of inspiration. I'm debating over colour, would like something other than white / cream. Like the look of a grey / taupe colour but not sure if it will date?

Also can't decide on worktops. Think I might have to stretch my budget because I really want quartz!!

How do I add a photo onto here from my mobile phone ?
