Welcome to Natasha's Kitchen!

Welcome friends to Natasha In Oz! Thanks for stopping by and visiting me in my little corner of the world!


Today I am so excited about sharing my Kitchen, my favourite room in our house!


  I love showing my friends pictures of the transformations that have happened in our kitchen....

It is my favourite room in the house!
Grey Kitchen


Here are a few "before" photographs:







Please excuse the mess...


Here is the bare room after the old kitchen was ripped out!



Here is the kitchen without bench-tops but with a new window.




I love the way the window at the back of these cabinets lets in lots of natural light.





Ahhh....my new farmhouse/butler's sink. I have always wanted one of these!








 







Oh how I love my kitchen!


Grey cabinetry and Villeroy & Boch farmhouse sink
Who would have thought that doing the dishes could bring someone so much joy!




 



I love the pull-out drawers in the pantry. I can see everything, well almost everything...I think it needs a bit of a clean up!


Our kitchen has even been featured on the website for the company that built it. It was very exciting when the photographer came to take pictures of it!




Here are some of the pictures he took for the website (we are Kitchen Classic 3...just in case you want to know!)
Gray Kitchen

Grey Kitchen Cabintry, Limoge drawer pulls and Miele Appliances



Limoge  porcelain kitchen and cabinet fittings


Our kitchen really is the heart of our home!











If you would like to see some more pictures of blogger's kitchens make sure you stop by Sheila's place, and the Thrifty Decor Chick's Kitchen Party
"Brooklyn Limestone"and the DIY Show-Off!

Thank you so much for visiting today and thanks ladies for having me and hosting this fun linky party today!

Now, I know why I love your kitchen. We used the same cabinet maker!!!x

Kim @ Savvy Southern Style said...

Natasha, your kitchen is wonderful. That is so cool to have it professionally photographed for the company. I love your view and that farm style sink. I wanted one but the cabinets would have had to have more work done to them and we were just trying to do some simple changes. That is the same apron that I have. Cool.

Hi Natasha! Oh, Dear One, your kitchen is more than fabulous! What a lovely space - I love everything about it! What a makeover too! I'm coveting that gorgeous sink, windows and the window behind your cabinets! This was a great idea! Truly a kitchen to be featured in a magazine and that website! I went to look - congratulations!! :)
Thank you so much, Natasha, for coming to my party.
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Chow and Chatter said...

Donna said...

Natasha, That is the MOST amazing kitchen transformation I have ever seen! Wow--perfect! It's so homey and I love all the organizational improvements. The best part is the window over the sink.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit what a lovely view I have over the pond and out into the forest which I get to admire while I wash dishes. I'm so glad you have a wonderful view now too.

How sweet to see your kids in the photos. You seem like the kind of Mom who loves their kitchen.

I'm so happy for you!

Your kitchen features in so many of your posts that one can't help but realize how important it is to you and your family.

I like the retrospective shots of your family members hanging out in the kitchen and the quote (In the childhood memories of every good cook, there's a large kitchen, a warm stove, a simmering pot and a mom. Barbara Costikyan) that you end your post with.

Patricia Torres said...
