Rustic, elegant kitchens

Though completely varied in their location and space, these kitchens all seem warm and charming- and despite some being quite elegant, I can imagine actually cooking in them. I'm always falling under the spell of rustic or old-world kitchens! (photos, from top: Taschen, Elle Decor, Living Etc; last photo from Marie Claire)

Hi! I`ve been visiting your blog for a long time, and I like very much your way of writing. It`s surely one of the first sites that I visit when I`m looking for news.
I have a blog called ponto.arquitetura, and it`s from Brazil. It talks about architecture, interiors and design. I`d be greatfull if it could be between your blogroll. And I also want to ask if I can put your between mine.
Congratulations for your talent! And my best wishes!

I absolutely love these post office box looking storage in the last image! Fell in love with that idea when I saw it used by AvroKO in Pulic restaurant in NY. You might enjoy a glance just for fun!
They have such unexpected little design elements there... a wall of keys, soap, mailboxes... your blog post was a lovely reminder. I'm not advertising I just liked it haha :)
