Answer 2

My kitchen...I have my kitchen done in a retro 1950's red & white. The walls and cabinets are off white, with the cabinets trimmed in a bright cherry red. I have an old meat cutter's table, solid oak 4 inches thick by 4 1/2 feet long by 20 inches wide, 38" tall. I use it as the island...we use that table for everything. My kitchen is not an eat-in kitchen...too small. I have a lot of vintage 1950's appliances and cookware, cannisters, spice jars, cookbooks on display and I use everything! They are not just for looks. Our dishes are misc. pieces of Melmac, all colors. The floor is white, linoleum (hard to keep clean). As an artist, I plan to do a backsplash (under the cabints and behind the stove) that looks like the old tin they used on ceilings. I'll do it in a brushed silver, faux finish technique and using the plain, paintable textured wallpaper.
I hope that this was detailed enough! I love my kitchen! I love to cook....Thanks for the chance to brag about my kitchen! Good question.

Answer 3

My kitchen is small and cozy. The walls are painted in French Vanilla and the floor is ceramic tile with shades of apricot, cream and brown in it. The cabinets are maple. The appliances are black and the counters and green and cream laminate. I have a small oblong table in the corner (that can be made larger by pulling out the ends) and 4 chairs covered in an apricot and yellow plaid. My window above the sink has a small valance which is yellow with green and apricot flowers on it. I like to mix patterns as you can see. I have a stained glass chandelier above my table and a wicker bakers rack behind it with cookbooks, bakets, and knick knacks on it. I love my kitchen. Although it's small it's the place where everyone seems to congregate. I moved here from a very large house with a huge kitchen that I didn't like nearly as much.

Answer 4

Typical apartment design, only smaller. White on white with white and gold Formica counters, circa 1972. The backsplash appears to have once been white as well... The ceiling fan is a dust magnet. Well, magnet may not be the correct word. In essence, it collects dust and disperses it throughout the room. The doors to the laundry closet take up an entire wall, when they stay up. When they don't, it is like cooking in a laundry-mat. It's only redeeming quality is that when the washer and dryer are exposed to the otherwise dismal cooking area, their surfaces triple the amount of available counter space.

The overall pallor of the space is overshadowed by the incredibly poor taste of my girlfriends efforts to make the room "special". While the egg timer shaped like Winnie the Pooh adds a severely under-rated aspect of whimsy to the kitchen, her attempt at bringing color to the room makes the space appear as though Walt Disney threw up. The mismatched assortment of canisters and towels give the impression that she may in fact be color blind. The single 4X2 window with mauve curtains above the sink serves only to enhance this nightmare ensemble of mis-matched colors exploding from a field of off-white.

Thankfully, due to a well planned cooking mishap, I am no longer allowed in the kitchen when she is home, thus reducing the painful experience of seeing the space to the mere nano-seconds required to walk past it's threshold as I enter or exit the hallway.

In short, it is wretched!

If you can imagine the space from my description, I am truely sorry.
