Jason: I like this corner drawer style. Rebecca: I do too, but would it be impractical? Things might not fit well in the corners.

Q

R: I love the wood color, curving countertop, and big cabinets.

Q

Photo

R: Yes, a double-basin sink would be wonderful. We would also like to have a hose for once.

Q

Photo

R: I like the wood color. Too many drawers and too gray overall.

Q

Photo

R: I like the drawers but might prefer more cabinets and fewer drawers. Also, the coloring is too dark, especially the countertops.

Q

Photo

R: I like the wood on this.

R: Cool island. I like the pull-out space for trash and recycling as well.

Q

Photo

R: All the wood paneling makes me dizzy.

Q

Photo

R: I like this one a lot: Bright/light wooden cabinets, recessed lighting, small enough island, nice color contrast, lots of accessible cabinet space.

Q

Photo

R: There's that gray paint again. Otherwise I like the layout, but the design is too busy. I love the countertops but have found black hard to keep clean.

Q

Photo

R: I don't like it.

Q

Photo

R: I like this style a lot. The marble? granite? pattern is a little too busy. I love the cabinets. Also, they have two sinks, which Jason has suggested for our kitchen.

Q

Photo

R: too dark

Q

Photo

R: I like the contrast between dark wood/paint and light wood. I think I prefer the reverse (wood cabinets, dark countertop).

Q

Photo

R: There is just way too much going on here.

Q

Photo

R: I like the countertops, the light color scheme, and the many accessible cabinets.

Q

Photo

Jason: This island curves the wrong way. Rebecca: it's a little dark overall, but I think I like this one (minus the pendant lamps). Plus, they are Mac people. I might prefer more space between the island and the rest of the kitchen if possible.

Q

Photo

R: Too clinical-looking.

Q

Photo

R: I like this a lot except for the yellow tint of the countertop. Also, does it close off the space too much?

Q

Photo

R: I like the shelves, the shiny gray color, and the recessed lighting. Not crazy about the color of the wood on the sides of the island.

Q

Photo

R: I like the brushed nickel look, the combination table/island, the shelves above the sink, and the wood color. But closed cabinets are better than open shelves in the island.

Q

Photo

R: I like the countertop (but not as a wall pattern), the open feel, and the sink in the island. I do not like the gray paint or the low proportion of cabinets to wall space.

Q

Photo

Rebecca: I like the island and the doors and the recessed refrigerator. I don't like the matte gray paint color, and I prefer recessed lighting to the pendant lamps. Also, I refuse to have white countertops again.
