love 1, 5 and 8 all so beautiful
I like no.4 - nice design and made a thinner bench top work well (bold colour for lower cabinets vs white above bench cabinets). Clever way to save money and end up with a very nice kitchen.
Love them all but my favs are 1 and 3. So elegant, timeless and modern. A master stroke.
Great article btw!! Very helpful and the kitchens are beautiful and on point.
