Lyno, I love those sites too! Have you checked out atticmag.com? There's a mix of styles but a lot that would be good inspirational pix. Allison704's kitchen is on there.

Eliz - Thank you! I have seen the kitchens at atticmag.com. They are drool worthy, too! I love Allison704's kitchen.

Plain English, an English company that doesn't do work here in America, but is beautiful and very simple.

They have a whole Web site, but this link takes you directly to their project gallery.

Lyno, growlery's reminded me of a couple of others, both British but great if you're looking for inspiration. Mark Wilkinson is a bit more fussy; Chalon has some beautiful designs.

And, ps, thanks for your nice post on my kitchen! :-)

Kennebec is another company I looked to for inspiration -- lovely period looks, I think.

Another source I liked was Old House Interiors magazine --
I ordered some back issues that had period/style I was interested in, This is their web site:

There's the Swedish company called Kvanum Kok. Link is below. I love looking at their traditional kitchens for inspiration. Very similar to all above.

I was also going to suggest The Kennebec Company too. Beautiful workmanship

Garden18c --

I had never heard of Kvanum Kok. Wow!

Sundby Smokey Grey 3. Super wow!

I love their other lines too.

I am a huge fan of Scandinavian design as an influence, even though it doesn't necessarily jump out at you if you come to my house. But if you know it, you see it.

Thank you!

I love looking at the houses by Hutker Architects. Most of the kitchens are traditional and gorgeous.

Growlery, I know they are nice, aren't they? They also have 2 storefronts in case anyone is close (unfortunately I'm not)- one in SF area and also South Florida (which may be closing). I love the Plain English site that you linked also. The 2 of those have been my new favs for the last few weeks. Sundby Smokey Grey 3 from Kvanum Kok is my most favorite! Simply beautiful - big sigh. Raised panel, no bead -that's what I want. It took me forever going back and forth between raised panel versus recessed panel, bead or no bead. Then I saw Sundby and I had my answer! A picture is worth a thousand words.

Now if I could just figure out the layout for my convection/second oven/MW. The rest of the layout is finished, just need some inspiration for that. I may have to call on the GW layout gurus for help.

erikanh, I just saw those last night. Wow, all of them are beautiful too. Beautiful views of the water. I love the West Tisbury and Green Pastures kitchen. Of course, they are all beautiful and out of my league. Maybe, I've seen them from the distance walking on the beach.

Thank you, Eliz and Lynn (my sister's name is Lynn). I love pieces by Eddy West too, for an unfitted kitchen. I did not discover it or David T Smith until after my kitchen was finished.

I've been gone since about 8 this morning; what a wonderful surprise to come home to so many answers and websites to drool over!! Thank you all so much for the links!!!

My DH and I are going to build a simple ranch style home in the country, probably in 2010 (I wish this year, but I don't see it happening...the clock is ticking too fast!).

I'm not sure I should be thinking of putting a period or unfitted kitchen in a new ranch, but I'm really drawn to them. But I also really like some of the contemporary and transitional kitchens. I just need to decide which way I lean the hardest and what DH will like, too. I checked out Martha Stewart's kitchen and she mentioned adding decorative wooden brackets to keep her cabinets from looking too contemporary. I have never been able to have any display space and I have my grandmother's dishes and a few of my mom's "antiques" I'd like to use. They'd be more comfortable in an unfitted or period kitchen. I'm guess I'm just looking for THE inspiration kitchen.

Thank you so much!!! I'm sure a lot of people are going to enjoy these links! Sorry to run, but I gotta go drool over some of them!! LOL!

I 2nd,3rd Kennebec - Lovely cabinetry, excellent workmanship, wonderful species to choose from - great all around custom cab co.

If you like English/unfitted kitchens, do a yahoo image search for "bespoke kitchen" and you'll find a ton of English websites.
