I don't have a large kitchen, there is no room for an island with seating, no place to install a wine cooler, nope, I have a small rectangular eat in kitchen that came with my three bedroom, bath and a half, 1970's ranch house. My husband and I raised our three children in this 1,300 square foot home, it is perfect to me and for me.
When I started making choices for my kitchen remodel, I of course, went to the Internet for inspiration. I quickly realized that the kitchens I found were from modern home layouts and designs. It didn't appear that I would find any inspiration out there for my rectangular eat in kitchen with a footprint that cannot be changed, unless, of course, I wanted to knock down and move walls.
I realized I wasn't looking in the right place. I found the website houzz, which has the largest collection of interior designs and decorating ideas, I found the small kitchen design on houzz. I gleaned a few helpful ideas from this site.
One of my first decision was what style and color cabinet did I want in my kitchen. While I never did find a kitchen with the same layout as mine, for me, it was helpful to see different styles of cabinets and wood colors in a kitchen setting. I decided which styles I liked and didn't like before I went to select my cabinets.
I selected a few styles that I was considering and brought them home to get an idea of what they would look like in my kitchen. My eye was consistently drawn to one particular style and color, I ultimately selected Dura Supremes door style South Haven with a painted white finish.

I decided on the full overlay doors and drawer fronts. This door style covers the entire face of the cabinet, with little space between the cabinet doors. The cabinets are a contemporary style with clean lines. I will be using a monochromatic color scheme and add a pop of color.
I have posted two blogs about the progress the kitchen . . .
