green (colored) kitchens

Just some great kitchen/dining pictures from Better Homes and Gardens' website:
(the focus was on the color green...my fav)


I love the green pictured above...always wanted some green cabinets. I also enjoy the open cabinets/shelving to display some favorite pieces. Although i think you have to be careful when using yellow...i like the choice in the back splash...

My favorite part of this kitchen are the large windows bringing in so much light...definitely a must for Carl and i we've decided. The lantern is a nice tough and the island/dining table...very interesting. The only overhead cabinets with the strong horizontal lines are very beautiful. Once again, i love the green, but i prefer the hues in the first and last pictures. Using just a bit of it to paint and having the white bead board below is just charming. Ceiling above with extra detail to give the room a little more of a formal feel (though i don't plan on having a separate dining room...i want to save that sf for something else...my studio perhaps). The horizontal & encased windows above complete the design.
I really love the green pictured, though i think it's a bit too modern for our contemporary craftsman. Maybe if i changed the counters and the dark wood floor... Gotta love the bib sink though.
So this one isn't green...in fact a bit too whitely pristine, but i adore the light coming in from the gorgeous windows above the sink.

This green is very similar to the too modern one i talked about above...perhaps the same hue, i just like the comfort of the honey colored wood floor, straw on the chairs, and the mixture of the greens and blues in the pottery. Seems less starkly modern. I think i prefer the light maple color that we used in the condo floors.
