These are fantastic ideas/examples for those who really want to make a statement with their kitchens! I especially like BlankWalls Design of the modern take of a farm house kitchen in San Fransico. The blue wall of cabinets, grey countertops, open shelving & multiple metallic finishes shows how well an ecletic mix can work.
15 is my pick but some of them are really not my cuppa tea
No 8. The others pale in comparison. Dreamy fantasy kitchen. Love it.
