Guys, I’ve probably told  you this before, but just in case I have not let me remind you my feelings on living in a rental house . . . blerg. I have owned my own home twice, and both times had to move back into rentals. It’s where we currently are now since our recent move from the north to the south, and I know it was a good decision. We also get lucky with our house, and our landlord. I recently found out about the new Samsung line of black stainless appliances at hhgregg, and decided to put together a mood board for my next house.

There is just nothing like having your own space to do with how you see fit, and no one asks you questions or gives you permission. ESPECIALLY your kitchen. Only Jesus and I know just how deep my yearning for my very own custom made kitchen is. I got close at our last house with our kitchen remodel. It wasn’t custom, but we did renovate extensively. I loved it, and it was all me. I learned some things during that renovation, and it just makes me want to renovate another kitchen to make it even better (and even more me). Here’s 5 things on my list . . .

A big ol’ fridge :: The hubs and I like to eat fresh food. We like to eat healthy. We try out bests, and having a big ol’ fridge helps motivate me to do so. Besides having the cool black stainless steel look, Samsung has a 4 door fridge! 4 doors! you only have to open the section you actually need. And it holds 23 bags of groceries so all that fresh food will fit and be organized.

A stylish rug ::It’s sort of hard to add in textiles to your kitchen, right? It shouldn’t be because everybody needs a rug and some towel’s. I know I’m risking a lot with a white rug in the kitchen, but guys it’s so plush and wonderful. I won’t actually do this, but I wanna.

A fun color cabinets and some open shelves ::I love the look of open shelving, and it makes everything simpler to get to. I know it means you can’t hide your mess, but I’m a neat freak so that wouldn’t be a problem. I love white cabinets, but in our next kitchen I definitely want to try something fun like black or navy!

A killer dishwasher ::I have never had a good dishwasher. It’s a true tragedy in my life, and I will rectify the situation when I get to design my next kitchen. Samsung has this pretty amazing dishwasher. Just some of the fun stuff about it . . . it cleans the dishes faster, holds 15 place settings, has adjustable racks, and has waterwall and zone booster technology to clean  the dishes better.

A butcher-block countertop ::I decided to get a butcher-block island I our last kitchen, and instantly regretted not having them throughout so next time butcher-block all over it is. It’s so versatile and hardworking, while bringing in a little rustic yet modern quality that I love.
