<p>Since we are still getting intermittent snow in Colorado, I am itching for all things Spring.&nbsp; Here are a few kitchens that have caught my eye recently with Spring hues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I'm loving this first island because of the fun citron color, but mostly because it is extendable!&nbsp; This could come in handy on so many occasions.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 450px;" src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/citronisland_bhg.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1330729189172" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I'm always nervous when dealing with large amounts of yellow because we once painted our bedroom what was supposed to be the <em>perfect</em> shade and it felt a bit like we were walking into the sun.&nbsp; We've learned a few things since then about choosing paint, but I swore I would never paint a room yellow again.&nbsp; I stand corrected because these yellow cabinets are spot on.&nbsp; The white subway tiles to the ceiling and dark countertops are the perfect compliment to this cheery color.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/yellow_canadianhouseandhome.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1330728750866" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The cabinetry in this last kitchen is lovely, isn't it? Very pretty.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 450px;" src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/green.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1330729177190" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I <a href="http://pinterest.com/cookingupstyle/">pinned</a> this last <a href="http://www.houseofearnest.com/2012/02/29/have-make-dipped-wooden-utensils/?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=have-make-dipped-wooden-utensils">little DIY</a> and plan on painting our own wooden kitchen utensils.&nbsp; I always love a touch of color in our mostly white kitchen and these would definitely do the trick.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 450px;" src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/paintedutensils.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1330729225579" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Frozen Yogurt is my weakness.&nbsp; Is there any treat more delicious than frozen yogurt?!?&nbsp; Not in my book.&nbsp; I would travel a great distance for Pinkberry and have a time or two.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 400px;" src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/cambro%20cart%20with%20toppings.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1316801231192" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>We worked with the owner of <a href="http://www.pinkberry.com/">Pinkberry</a> here in Colorado to create a new way to deliver their delicious yogurt to their loyal customers and it launched this week.&nbsp; They will be using this new concept for street sales on the 16th Street Mall, for catering, and for other Denver area venues.&nbsp; The rolling cart is insulated and holds the frozen yogurt and a few favorite toppings.&nbsp; We have our lead fabricator, Barry, to thank for the sleek construction of the top of the cart and wanted to share the finished product.&nbsp; Thanks also to <a href="http://www.pinkberry.com/">Pinkberry</a> for letting us work with you on your new idea.&nbsp; Best of luck!</p>
<p>We hope to see these carts all over Denver in the future, especially in our neck of the woods.&nbsp;</p>

<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_9618copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1306376225532" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I also love the addition of the prep sink in the island and I'm always a fan of a pot faucet above the range.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_9612copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1306376251598" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The columns on either side of the range hold hidden spice racks that roll out, which is such a convenient feature when you are cooking.&nbsp; I'm constantly digging through my spice cabinet at the very moment something is boiling over on the stove!&nbsp; The buffet provides the perfect place for extra storage and is just plain gorgeous.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_9638copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1306376314749" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>I'm not even sure where to begin with this master bathroom!&nbsp; From the travertine to the claw foot tub; this bath is the bath dreams are made of.&nbsp; I think this room reflects the client's own amazing sense of style and I'm pretty sure I would take every square inch of it!&nbsp;</p>

I love it!</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/meohmykitchen1.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1296249854024" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I also think the Robin's egg blue painted pantry door is such a great addition to the space.&nbsp; It really keeps things bright and fun.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/meohmykitchen3.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1296249882984" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The exposed shelves above the sink are always so great for display and can be quite functional as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another kitchen that caught my eye this week was this real life home renovation featured on <a href="http://www.stephmodo.com/2011/01/real-life-home-no2.html">Stephmodo</a>.&nbsp; I think the dark countertops with the white subway tiles creates a classic look.</p>

<p>This last kitchen was featured on <a href="http://remodelista.com/posts/steal-this-look-mill-valley-loft-style-kitchen">Remodelista</a> and I love the use of off-white subway tiles to achieve a loft-style kitchen with a very vintage feel.&nbsp; The subway tile goes well with a stainless countertop and the factory lights above the island just make me happy. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This Cedar Wreath Chandelier would not only smell divine, but would be the perfect touch to any space you will be using for entertaining this season.&nbsp; I love the Scandinavian feel due to my own heritage, but also the beautifully simplicity of it all.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/marthastewart_chandelier_xl.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1292446583983" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I also love the embellishing of this Citrus Pomander.&nbsp; It is so very simple and colorful, yet festive.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/marthastewart_orangespicehow_xl.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1292446618759" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I also may be stealing this idea for my Christmas centerpiece.&nbsp; I love these Evergreen Bobeches because they are both useful and bring a bit of the outdoors in.&nbsp; I also love the combination of various colors and sizes of candlesticks.&nbsp;</p>

<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_8983copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1289944338581" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The main feature of the kitchen being the very impressive island that measured 148" x 64" or roughly 12 1/2' x 5 1/2'.&nbsp; The soapstone countertops found throughout the kitchen are especially highlighted on this grand island.&nbsp; I also love the commercial style range from <a href="http://www.wolfappliance.com/">Wolf</a> that they decided on and feel it adds to the space cleanly.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_9012copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1289944362701" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>We designed a lot of open cabinetry within the island for storage and easy accessiblity for cooking and baking.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sanderandsons.com/storage/IMG_8990copy.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1289944386862" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>Another great feature was the stacked wall cabinets that extend to ceiling heighth.&nbsp; This is a great way to utilize space and can have such a dramatic impact. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
