Yes, it’s a little cluttered for me but I do like the open shelves concept.  Like the color and find it elegant yet cozy.

Very much a French kitchen look to me. It is interesting and very welcoming but just a little much for my personal taste.

Yes except for shelves instead of upper cabinets.

If you are a cook, you should have all the things you love in your kitchen on display for your enjoyment! If you have that kind of square footage, why not?

I like the cozy, homey feel of this kitchen. If the kitchen is large enough so there would still be enough wall space for cabinets, the open shelves to display collectibles appeals to me.   I would take care to make sure they didn't become too cluttered   Really like the old green hutch.  I also like that there are pictures on the walls in the kitchen.  I have several pictures in my kitchen and some collectibles.  This appeals to me much more than a stark modern kitchen.  Of course it would have to be in a home that matched the feeling of the kitchen.  Would have to be very careful in such a home not to over-clutter it.

I really like looking at this kitchen and would love to come for tea.  I have a very big collection of serving items that look like fruits & veggies and display some in my kitchen.

 

They get greasy and dusty quickly and must be washed before each use.  I can't imagine how I could cope with open shelving for everyday storage.

 

The silk lampshade next to the sink?  Um.... no.

This kitchen might be a decorator show house where items are for sale.  I doubt a sane cook would have it.

 

My cleaning lady would quit!

It's very pretty - I like the colors and overall warmth of the kitchen.  

 

It's much too cluttered for me.  All those little vignettes remind me of a store.  I stay away from that in my home.  It's like a visual assault and too hard to keep clean.

This is lovely and right up my alley. Love just about everything in that kitchen. I even have a similar light hanging over my kitchen table.

The window, the sink, and the shelving are gorgeous - very high end looking.

Holy cow!    I thought *I* had a lot of "stuff".    Now, I don't feel so much like the only "collector"...........(!!)
