Forget about the utilitarian kitchen, the revolutionary kitchen is the kind of kitchen that facilitates your daily life. The design is well thought out, and you can easily reach for what you need. The surfaces are not only beautiful but durable as well, and the choices are made based on timeless design rather than trend.

The result is a kitchen that you feel comfortable in, regardless of whether you're there to cook, entertain or even relax in a creative lounge area. You know you've created a revolutionary kitchen when it feels right for you and meets your needs in more than the expected ways. — Luciane from Home Bunch

Newland Kitchen Island, White/Marble Top - $3,375.00 »
This portable island is a great option for extra work space. I love the classic look and the durability of the Carrara marble.

Large Art Deco Pendant, Hollywood, Old Brass - $500.00 »
These pendants are a great addition above the island. They come in 12 different finishes, but I like how much warmth is added with the brass, especially in a white kitchen.

1930s French Art Deco Macassar and Maple Side Table - $2,250.00 »
I like to think a revolutionary kitchen should have a lounge area. If you have the space, add a small round side table and a pair of comfortable chairs. This is where you enjoy reading your favorite magazine or newspaper with a cup of coffee.
contemporary chairs by Sarah Richardson Design

I believe the chairs for the lounge area should be comfortable yet tailored. Choose outdoor fabric if you have small children or pets.

Don't choose your sink only for good looks! Make sure that it doesn't scratch easily and that you have plenty of space for bigger pans.

Vintage Melmac Plate Melamine Dinner Plate by The Beetle's Knees - $5.00 »
Aren't we all big fans of white kitchens? I love them too, but I don't like seeing white kitchens without any personality. Give the space a personal touch with beautiful, vintage porcelain plates. You can display them on walls or in glass cabinets.

When it comes to ranges, I think you should invest in the best you can afford. Having a classic range like this one doesn't only assure great looks, but also a timeless feel in your kitchen.
