One month into our new year’s resolutions — most of which are health-related — we’re getting a little hungry for some sinful and delicious culinary indulgence. So, instead of giving in entirely and diving headfirst into a New York cheesecake, we did the next best thing and made today’s roundup all about beautiful kitchens. Indulging our appetite for design is, after all, calorie-free.
First up is Belle Vivir. She doesn’t update her “kitchen of the week” section every week, but when she does, it’s grand, and today we’re taking a look back through her archives, including the stunning Scandinavian kitchen pictured above.
The Kitchen Designer gives us a sneak peek into the world of La Cornue’s Kitchen Magnifique — an aspiring chef’s wildest dream come true:

…and FresHome delivers a roundup of no fewer than 30 kitchen islands to get our imaginations spinning.
Bon appetit!
