With the renewed appreciation for all things traditional in design, some kitchens are showing tributes to long forgotten flourishes.

Enter the "sidesplash",  visible at the end of the counter on the right.  It continues the backsplash on to the adjoining wall.  It even has an attractive swoop and curve to it, nice.

I do like the kitchen-- the wonderful floors, wood work table, brass wall lights, honed marble.  

Something about the hood bothers me.  Shouldn't it be slightly wider to align with the backsplash?  Maybe that wasn't feasible, but it looks a little off to me.  Opinions?

But, overall, I wouldn't sneeze at a kitchen like that.

The first thought I had was that exactly, @Oznell  the backsplash and the hood are 'off'. But I love the overall look of that kitchen, is there a butler's pantry for storage?

The stove isn't centered between the two windows so the hood, while correctly positioned over the stove, is also off-center.  I think someone messed up in designing the cabinetry and stove placement.

Very elegant kitchen. I love the floor. 

I think @Marsha2003 called it- the hood looks weird because the stove isn't centered.

I like it too but mostly LOVE the work table as opposed to an island--I hear islands are out and tables like that are in.

There is nothing about this kitchen that I like.

Overall I like the kitchen, but the stove being unaligned would not work for me.  I'm too picky.  Also, I prefer a traditional island instead of a table.

Too many notes!  To me it seems thrown together  with no plan and little consistency.  I like simpler and sleeker far better.  This looks like they just used whatever and made it fit somehow.

I like the windows and that's about it. I prefer a warmer and more cozy look in a kitchen and most of today's cookie cutter, grandiose, kitchens don't provide that. I've never been a fan of islands. If needed, a work table is acceptable, but I prefer an actual kitchen table that can double as a work space.

I think that the hood placement keeps the kitchen from looking like building blocks. It is "off kilter" just enough" for me. I agree that a kitchen table looks and works better than the trendy islands. Overall. I like this kitchen.
