It's funny... my tastes in general tend to be more simple and modern, but there is something warm and comfortable about an eclectic kitchen with a little color and maybe even a bit of country to it. It makes me want to meet the owner and listen to the story of their kitchen, directly from them.

On a more formal note, this kitchen by Mick DeGuilio for SieMatic gets my vote for Kitchen of the Year. It's simpler and more modern than anything I've posted above. It's more elegant... yet still cozy. It's timeless, and far from sterile (which is a problem with many modern kitchens). I would feel completely comfortable sitting in one of those chairs, or even chopping veggies on that countertop. This kitchen has a wonderful yet subtle mix of style and color. And it has tons of personality. I'll have to do an individual post on this kitchen another time because every detail is beautiful, but I wanted to include it in this group because it's just as different as any of the louder kitchens shown above, just in a quieter (and less country) way.
I love the carving on the cabinet in the first kitchen but I also dearly love the gray cabinets in the last photo. Gray always has a soothing feel to me. I showed a great kitchen remodel on the 25th from Anne Selke, I love to show before and after designs.
