Coastal kitchen dreams...

We are in the very beginning stages of thinking about a kitchen update. I get so excited about it, but must calm myself down because it most likely won't happen until the beginning of next year, but I can begin gathering ideas, right?! I dream of a beautiful, bright coastal kitchen....like this...

or this...

But here's the deal...we aren't going to be in this house forever, so I should probably tone down my coastal love a bit so we can actually sell the house one day! Or, does everyone love blue and green as much as I do? Probably not in Austin, TX...So, how do I find a kitchen with little bits of coastal that won't scare off the future buyers of our house years from now?

Maybe just use a cool backsplash?

Still too much? What about some colored cabinets? They can be painted easily...right?

Or, I guess I can stick with white. No one is scared of white. Or maybe they are...

If you have any ideas/suggestions, please let me know! All I know for sure, is I want a window seat to use as part of our dining area. I love the look of it and we need to utilize space wherever we can. Our kitchen is small! I love this window seat...

If only we had that much space and a beach in our backyard:). I do love the colors and might use this as inspiration for my smaller version window seat.

Happy coastal dreaming and see you tomorrow for VACATION FRIDAY!!!
