For The Love of A House

The above photos started my creative juices flowing - a white kitchen with wood floors.  YUM!  I am hoping that I can do something similar to this except instead of soapstone countertops, I would do butcher block from Ikea.

I'm not sure I would do this look in a rental house as I think cleaning the white chairs would drive me crazy, but I love the clean look.  The layered textures of sea grass rug, warm wood and cotton slipcovered chairs.
