apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love the 1st and 6th !!!

I'm sorry, but blue is just not an appetizing color for me, not a single shade of it. Perhaps the subtle blue value of a nice soapstone countertop, but that's about it.

ooh i love that first one!

wow, 6 is gorgeous!

I loooove those cabinets in the second picture.

I agree with Jamiealyse, the use of vintage-style cabinets in a modern arrangement is a really nice touch.

The last image strikes me as looking awfully fresh for being 50 years old. That's a *huge* cooktop!

*snap* I knew #6 was Swedish. It looks just like an update of my grandparents' kitchen, which was built in the early '50s. Pure nostalgia.

I like numbers 1 and 6, too. I didn't think I was all that into blue for a kitchen until I inherited some great vintage textiles and ceramics. Now it seems like a given.
As an added bonus...they say that calming blue in the kitchen is good for people who want to eat less. Probably good for anxious cooks, too!

I love the cabinets in 5.

Thank you for posting some fun, colorful kitchens! I get so tired of seeing the same old boring cherry cabinets, granite counters, everything neutral kitchens. I esp. love #s 1, 4 and 6.

Love this - we have a turquoise kitchen - and while I will always still love a classic, white kitchen, I smile every time I walk into cheery, turquoise one :o) Turquoise walls AND counter tops:

For some reason, Turquoise seems to be a color made for a kitchen...
...but the blue and lavender - Not so much.

Oh, #2 all the way. I love the metal locker-style cabinets, and the color is great - muted enough that it wouldn't get old.

This will look sooo dated in a few years.

The turquoise kitchen from House Beautiful makes me so happy. It's gorgeous!
