I adore it! It's way more than I could handle-I could never keep it clean-but I just just love the look of it. I would definitely like to incorporate some ideas from it.

I would like that look more in a breakfast nook, away from the actual areas where I would be cooking and prepping.

 

 


I'm not sure this is the kitchen for the house.  I see the beautiful sink and the blooms waiting to be cut for the vase, but no other appliances.

I like the basics of the kitchen like the wallpaper (I'm not a wallpaper person but like this), the open shelving (although I wouldn't personally want it), the light, the sink, and the window treatment.  I think there's too much stuff, but I might not feel that way if I was in the room.  I do like this.

I like the concept but not the staged decorations that are dust collectors. That is a small galley type kitchen if you follow the pictures around. I don't think this person cooks much, but they like the sudo French provincial look via American ideas of it, but it really wouldn't do much in a French household. This does scream American take on French. The color scheme is nice but the shelving brackets are quite chunky and could get in the way of practical use. I'm not sure what the print on the wall paper is, but the color is nice. The hutch is nice but I would keep spices, sugar, flour, etc in glass jars there. I wonder what kind of stove/oven arraignment they have?

I think it has character and personality. I've been thru a kitchen remodel and done all the stainless sinks, appliances, granite etc.  I remolded in 2008. It feels a little cold. 

That said I can't stand a lot of appliance etc on the counter tops. But I feel like if we've seen one HGTV remodel we've  seen them all. 

But this kitchen looks like somewhere I could set down with a friend and have a long talk, a few laughs and a glass of ice tea. 

But keeping it charming and clean would be a lot of work.

I like it minus the fabric shades. I think it would look much nicer with nothing on the windows.

All I see is "Clutter".  I'm just not a fan of that much open shelving.  It doesn't help that I just don't care for the overall kitchen design either.
