Which would you choose?

Good morning..its that time again. You know the drill....choose a favorite! So let me set the scene......you have decided to throw a dinner party. But this dinner party is a stress free kind of party (does it exist)? You are only inviting those people who you really want to be there,  it could be family and friends, a mix of both....you decide. You are having over lets say about 6-8 couples, its going to be a more casual dinner party, nothing super fancy or formal just a relaxing night spent with those you cared about in the comfort and beauty of your own home.

In fact you have decided to throw (as I hope to do one day) a "tapas party" not a dinner with specific courses but an ongoing parade of many different appetizers, you know small bites, tell me ONE person who doesn't love eating that way! So you spend the morning finishing up some last minute shopping, its a beautiful crisp fall day, that kind of day where you crack open the windows just ever so slightly  to let in some of the fresh brisk fall air. Its the perfect day to plan  a party.

You light a scented candle, put on your apron and you are ready to get started in preparing all your "goodies" for that night. Of course everyone is out of the house for the day, so put on a CD that you love and get all your ingredients out ready for some serious prep work. Did I mention you get to pour yourself a glass of wine (or two if you are so inclined) to sip while you hum around the kitchen like the stylish little busy bee that you are. So here is where you come in.....which kitchen can you see this scenario playing out in?  Take a look, not a bad one in the bunch and tell me which you could see "prepping in" all day!! Can't wait to see what everyone has to say....and I will share the results on Thursdays post!

  1. Yea, I get to be the first to comment! I would have to say that the black kitchen is quite sensational.

    Always wanted to get brave and do that but doubt I ever will. Its really beautiful, they actually all but that would be my pick today, choice 7.

    How fun to prep in that kitchen!

  2. Goodness, what a beautiful array of kitchens. There were only 2 that I couldn't picture myself in - no 4, a bit OTT for me and no 12, a bit modern for me. Forced to choose - it would be no 13. I just love that rustic wood on the island and the lanterns are gorgeous. Love your posts - keep them coming! x Sharon

    ReplyDelete
  3. Each and every kitchen were wonderful, but picking only one I would say Choice #1. I am a window person, the more the better. Diane

    ReplyDelete
  4. Choice #1 I loved all the natural light. Choice #3 was my second choice, although all of them are a mile ahead of my lates 90s country kitchen (yikes, I hate a 3-D fruit backsplash - not joking!)

    ReplyDelete
  5. I love #13 the most! Also love #2 + 3 but I think #14 would be the best for entertaining! xo

    ReplyDelete
  6. Choice 15, love the funky shades, the rustic colors and feeling. Fun post!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Torn between 9, 14 & 15. They are all inspiring my kitchen banquette.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Gee I feel Like I am going to write exactly what Diane did~but it is all about the natural light and having lots of windows and french doors in a kitchen combined with white marble!! So #1 is my first choice followed with #14 as a runner up. I love Clive Christian kitchens, but there was not one window in the room!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wow!!!! This is a HARD one to choose, but #9 is so amazing!!! Great ones today!

    I hope everything is great with you, Tina!

    Have a Happy Day!

  10. I am going with #1. I like a tight working area with an efficient triangle (cook top/oven, fridge, sink). #1 has that and gorgeous light and nothing distracting visually from the purpose of being in the kitchen. Love all the others too, but I see a lot of extra steps and time walking around those big islands to get from one appliance to the other.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Choice 13 in a flash. Dream kitchen for me:)

    ReplyDelete
  12. It would be #2 for me! Love them all, Tina. You find the best images.
    Have a great Tuesday!

  13. It would have to be no. 3 for me with no. 1 a close second. For me, imaging where these are (geographically) plays into my decision! For example, the fist one feels like it's at the beach! M.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Except for no. 4 all other kitchens were too much alike. I didn't see a kitchen I would like to work in, a kitchen which combines the new and the old, free standing pieces along with built-ins. In other words, kitchens with character and a bit of history.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Choice 14 for me, please. I have a few of those elements in our place already: white kitchen with marble countertops, a padded bench at our table, curtains in that fabric in my husband's study, that blue is on our kitchen ceiling. Yep, number 14.

    ReplyDelete
  16. For me it would be #7. So lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  17. These are all beautiful. I'd pick #1 though because it's white, traditional and has lots of windows. This is fun.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh my goodness...I can't decide but I have narrowed it down to 7,9, and 11. I guess if I can only have one, its number 7...love the crispness of it.
    And love the idea of a tapas party. Actually, when my parents come to visit, our ritual is to pull together 6 or so tapas instead of doing a big dinner and just graze on them (and a few bottles of wine) all night.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 2, 13, 15......decisions, decisions. I think 15. Love the island and the setting. Fun!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love #13. It has such a warm inviting feeling. Great lighting.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'd choose #2 mainly because it looks like a hard workin kitchen and I need that for a dinner party! I love a large, uninterrupted island like that one!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I like lots of space and natural lighting in a kitchen. But, first and foremost, it needs to be uncluttered (don't even like those hanging pot racks). For sure, these photos were prepped for a photo shoot so it is hard for me to be objective. My choices will be # 3, # 7 and # 13. If I had to chose only one then it would be # 7. I wish I can see the whole kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Kitchen #7! Elegant, clean, great natural light...perfect for guests. And I bet in the evening, those chandeliers cast a beautiful warmth.

    ReplyDelete
  24. #11 please- the black pantry cupboard and huge amounts of marble had me at hello.

    ReplyDelete
  25. No decision here, love #8 hands down. If your interested, second and third are 16 and 13. Another great fantasy Tina..........

  26. Oh my, this was a hard one. I'm going to go with #13. Love the wood countertop, the copper hood, even the blue plates to serve the tapas on. These pictures make me want to redo my kitchen asap!

    ReplyDelete
  27. This is definitely a difficult one. I think I'd go with #10, only if there is a beautiful view out the window on the other side of the room.

    Love playing this. I have to say, I am usually all over the place in trying to decorate a room. I just love too many styles. But this is helping me see what style I prefer the most.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like #1 the best. If #2 had more windows, I'd probably pick that. #7 is lovely,but I hate the pendants.

    ReplyDelete
  29. gotta be number 2 for sure but i am also in love with 3, 7, 9, 11 Number 4 just gives me a headache. such a hard choice as always

    ReplyDelete
  30. Kitchen #1. Most were great, but you nailed it with the first one for me

    ReplyDelete
  31. Such beautiful kitchens, Tina. You've made it a challenge to pick just one. My choice is number 7. It's light, airy, elegant and absolutely gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hi Tina!

    This is so much fun.
    There are so many gorgeous kitchens there and I love so many of them. I am such a white/light cabinet girl so I am shocking myself by picking this.... but it is the room as a whole that is drawing me in!

    I choose number 13!

    I love all the textures and surfaces used.... the copper, the rough hewn barn beam slab islabd, the warm taupe cabinets. It is high-end but an unexpected and unusual mix. Not something you see every day. It has a warm inviting glow perfect for entertaining and creates a lovely enticing mood for friends and fab food!

    Love it.

  33. number one for my town home and number fifteen for my country home, a gal can dream...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Definitely #1. That photo is from AD and of a kitchen in Nantucket, and my own kitchen is modeled after it. LOVE IT!

    ReplyDelete
  35. All very pretty! I could actually be happy in several of them. My absolute favorite is probably #13. I love the colors, textures and the copper hood (although keeping it shiny could be a pain).

    Fun post Tina...

    ReplyDelete
  36. #13 for me--its the plate display that won me over!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OK Tina, Your right I am dizzy! I must of gone up and down 10 times. They were all beautiful. I love #1,6,7,9,and 14. Darn, I can not pick just one! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Fun post.

    ReplyDelete
  38. #7!!! Working on a black & white kitchen now for my home. Was using Miles Redd uber Black kitchen for inspiration & now have this for a more "down to earth" mode.
    Black kitchens make me feel like I am in NYC Little Italy in the 40's and I love the vibe!

    ReplyDelete
  39. All Fabulous! Would have to go with lucky #13 - with one major design change- I would install black honed granite on the island top and have more dressy and comfortable counter stools. Love the ceiling beams, the copper hood and the counter areas. Think having another sink area would be needed! Wonder what the entire footprint of this kitchen actaully looks like! Love the limestone floors!

    ReplyDelete
  40. As usual, you don't make these easy! They all have such different appeal, but I love sunshine and windows so I had a hard time deciding between 1 and & but if it was MY kitchen for real it would have to be #1. The next two favorites were #7 and #14.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This one was easier for me than some of your other delightful offerings, I just loved #1 right away. The light is so lovely, something I think is critical in a kitchen. (Coming from someone who has the world's nastiest kitchen, it's ghastly, truly horrible.) I also liked the light in #12, but it seemed a little cold to me, so I am sticking with #1!

    Sending you a smile,
    tp

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love the rustic appeal of kitchen #13!! Just beautiful!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. You just described my perfect day! There's nothing that I love more than throwing a dinner party -- and the prep is just as fun as the event itself. The first picture is a mirror of the kitchen that I cook in -- except the French cafe chairs are actually bar stools which are on their way. But I also was drawn to 9, 13 and 14. I guess I love light, bright kitchen spaces! Thanks for the fun!

    ReplyDelete
  44. While #5 is wonderful, I think I'll do my humming in kitchen #9! I love kitchens that are light and bright and this one fits the bill! Be sure to stop by! Sounds like a fun night.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh my!! How to choose?! I love 8, 12, 15 - oh really I love them all for different reasons!! Great collection - impossible to choose!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. all lovely kitchens Tina,
    hard to pick a favorite...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Number One it is. I didn't even have to scroll back through. Perfect and full of light.

    ReplyDelete
  48. have to say 14, because I'm all about the comfortable seating... it allows guests to linger - x

    ReplyDelete
  49. Not really liking many of these kitchens. All of these have been DONE just too many times already...boring! If I had to choose it would be #1 because of the natural light & windows which I love and it also has to have a great view!

    ReplyDelete
  50. 5 & 7 for sure! love them both

    ReplyDelete
  51. This wasn't so clear cut for me, but in the end I choose #13. It's cozy old-world atmosphere, created by the rough wood, copper hood, and high windows, makes it an ideal backdrop for a Tapas Party. This is where I want to serve my Manchego with membrillo and Rioja Reserva - Salud!

    ReplyDelete
  52. One or nine or...I AM getting dizzy from scrolling back and forth...great choices.

    ReplyDelete
  53. 1 for the natural light + 8 for the architectural elements = perfection : )

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh my, at first I said #1 and #9 and then as I scrolled down you have one of my all time fav kitchens posted and that is #14 hands down. I have had this very kitchen in my inspiration file for 3 years, ever since I first saw this kitchen it spoke to me! Love love it and I also love making these kind of dream like choices, too fun. Happy Week, Tina, Kathysue

    ReplyDelete
  55. #1 is my favorite, although you are so right, almost all of them are wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Tina,

    I absolutely adored reading your set up for this post...it sounds like a prefect day in preparation for a perfect evening! I did have to go back a few times, but then the choice was clear.

    #1 - This space would make me feel right at home, many of the elements are similar to mine and I love a white kitchen. The cafe chairs and the bar stools add just a little warmth and texture to the space.

    #2 - I love certain parts of the second choice...like the exposed brick, open shelving, the counter and the pendants over it, but still I think I would feel like I'm in someone's beautiful kitchen other than mine.

    #9 - I love this one too! It has all the stuff I love, plus looking out the window it looks as though it might be in a city...that's intriguing...the space looks as though it could be a loft? I do love the comfortable seating around the cafe table too.

    Very fun post!

  57. Lucky 13! AND, can you please share where you found this kitchen, must know!! Janell

    ReplyDelete
  58. Choice 5 for me...love the large windows and island.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Clearly a hard choice as every single one tops my little kitchen....but 2, 8 and 13 had me at hello!!!

    xoxo Elizabeth

    ReplyDelete
  60. OMG!!! My first pic is 1, but 7 & 11 are a close second.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I made it this time, Tina!! Now I can vote!!! Definitely no 7!!!!! Have a great day!

    Love, Kristin

    ReplyDelete
  62. There are some fab kitchens there! Definitely 1, 6 or 9 :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Whow, they are all fabulous! Love the warms of 2, Love the marble on number 11 and the length of the kitchen nice and open. Number 13 has a very rustic flare that says welcome and stay a while. While number 15 has a great country feel.

    I think number 2 for me....it has me all over it!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hands down #1 as I'm going through the process of redesigning our kitchen and this is look I'm trying to achieve. At this point, I can barely fit six people so my tapas party may be a bit smaller than yours!
    xxoo

    ReplyDelete
  65. Numero Uno, please! I've stalked this kitchen many times - love the ceiling and how it reflects the light, the french bistro chairs, the white cabinets, wood floors, honed dark countertops... love it!

    ReplyDelete
  66. #1 all the way! It's light, airy, great pop of color with the blue and would meet all my needs.

    You always have the best blogs Tina. I am a huge fan!

  67. You are not playing fair Tina, there are way to many fabulous kitchens to choose just one. I am torn between, 1, 9, 13 and 14. I love them all!

    I hope your week is going well! Looking forward to all of your updates this week.

    Have a great day! Elizabeth

    ReplyDelete
  68. This was hard for me today. It is between 1 and 3. I'm leaning towards 1. I like bar seating for at least 4 if I'm going to have a bar. I was
    very practical in this choice.

    ReplyDelete
  69. EQUAL TIE FOR ME BETWEEN, 2, 6,7 AND 16, WHAT A UNIQUE COLOR...LOVE THE HEIGHT IN THE CEILINGS IN THE LAST ONE TOO.

    ReplyDelete
  70. OMG - these are getting harder every week! I thought the bathrooms were a tough choice! I think I am going to go with number 7...

    ReplyDelete
  71. Tina these are all quite beautiful though none hold a candle to what will soon be your finished kitchen! However with the ones at hand, I love choice 8 or 9 the most.

    Fun post.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I love the scene you set, I love the idea of being a stylish busy bee flitting around the kitchen, cooking wouldn't feel like such a chore in these kitchens!!

    Its a dead tie for me between 7 and 13, both so warm. Surprised so many like 1 its very cold and boring feeling in its predictable seen everywhere white. 7 and 13 exude the perfect combination of warmth and elegance.

    ReplyDelete
  73. They are all beautiful, but I'd have to go with #7. # 12 is a very close second place.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Oooh, I love these! #'s 1, 7 and 13 ... love the light in #1, Love the rustic warmth of 13 ... but love the flitting around prepping and having the dining area so beautiful right there in #7!!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Love your scene that you set. You are my kind of friend, I bet going to your house is loads of fun.

    Without question its chioce 7 for me. Perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Number 5! I love the light that those huge windows let in and it's so spacious. A lot of the others look too cramped for me.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I love to see outside when I am prepping. These are all wonderful kitchens but I like #14 best.

    ReplyDelete
  78. 4 - I'm a sucker for dark wood in a kitchen. I find it so inviting and cozy.

    Numbers 7 and 13 are really pretty, too, and the blue in 16 is gorgeous.... but in the end I gotta go with #4.

    Kristin

    ReplyDelete
  79. There is something about each one that I love, but I suspect if I had to I would choose #6. It has both form and function. Since I love to cook and spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen I would go for the sunny open feel with lots of light, making it easy on the eye!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Number one!! It's light and airy -- if I'm going to be there all day, that's a requirement.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I'll take number 13 with a glass of red wine please. Thank you Tina! ~ Redema

    ReplyDelete
  82. you are kidding me right????
    i think #7 is a lot of what you are doing...
    but not quite.
    you are killing me.....i am getting sea sick going up and back to pick a number.

    11, 13 & 16....how is that?


    could you give fewer choice for the tired and weary?
    love you tina
    your home will be an absolute work of art when YOU say it is complete. xxxx

    ReplyDelete
  83. It was a real challenge to pick just one. My choice is # 1

    ReplyDelete
  84. Number 1 and then Number 8. All are beautful and you gave us great choices.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Ahh I love all of them! I'll go with number 14 because it looks most like me. I love tapas. It's the best way to eat. Since I'm hosting I get to have that extra glass of wine (not driving & slaved all day getting the house ready) so I will be extra fun at this gathering.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Number 13 is my favorite. I like a kitchen with a big island at counter height, because I am vertically challenged. Bar height doesn't work for me. The island in this one adds such charm to the space. The copper hood is gorgeous and I love the glass fronted cabinet for displaying china. I also love the large lanterns. #11 and #15 are appealing as well because of the size of the islands, but #13 wins it for me.
    Best...Victoria

    ReplyDelete
  87. So Beautiful, but the first one is my favorite. It is so fresh and bright, with number 7 a close second. These two I would never tire of.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love these kitchens. My favorites are 7, 8 and 14.. love the style and the comfort of these. What a dream.. good for you!

    ReplyDelete
  89. #12, BUT I would glass front some cabs. & go with black on floor. I like everything is close. Im a lazy cook! Oh that ceiling would have to go. IMO makes room heavy.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I love #15!! Just gorgeous! Where can I order it?

    ReplyDelete
  91. 7 if I ever build a house again..13 is the closest to what I chose for our house, love how segreto does the cabinets and walls!

    ReplyDelete
  92. They are all beautiful, a very tough choice, but I love the natural light in kitchen
    1and it just looks like home.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Oh so tempting and following a few scrolls, I shall settle for No. 14. A tapas party is excellent and I think I shall hire some help to keep the hot tapas coming from the oven while I mix and mingle

    Wonderful post

    ReplyDelete
  94. I can't believe I'm saying this as I am a white kitchen gal, but I am loving #2. The open shelving, the fabulous island and the gorgeous chandeliers...loved it all. Could definitely see myself entertaining here!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Oh what a fabulous collections of kitchens! Love them all, but number 13..just is me! Add some terra cotta pavers and I would be swooning!

    ReplyDelete
  96. #7 and then #1 - both I think not only for the design but the wonderful light! It is one of the reasons we need to renovate our kitchen - more windows to let the wonderful light in... am currently working on a bedroom and bath - adding chair rail and frame moulding ... how did you decide??.. a lot more work than I thought, but I love the look - would be a great topic!:)

    ReplyDelete
  97. Yes I scrolled back and forth.....#1 and #9 for me but if I only get one take #1.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I just want to thank you for sending such beautiful people my way dearest; I am very late here because again, WORK is really pulling me in all directions. I WILL TAKE ANY OF THESE ROOMS, but that kitchen with the dark gray hood is a winner for me! MUCH LOVE, TINA! Anita

    ReplyDelete
  99. Why I hate to choose from those kitchens! But I'm going with choice 13 if I had to. I wish we could switch to any of these any day. Enjoy the fabulous day, Kellie xx

    ReplyDelete
  100. None compare to your beautiful kitchen but these are all quite beautiful in one way or another.

    My favorite would have to 7, 13 or 6, sorry I cannot pick just one. Would be happy to be working in any of these!

    ReplyDelete
  101. There is no way I can pick just one. I love many of them. The ones I love all have a common thread...they look like stylish work stations, there aren't upholstered pieces that will be stained or in need of washing for me to worry about, there is easy movement in the kitchen and finally the important kitchen triangle effect that I like since I'm always in my kitchen whipping up a meal.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I liked #4 and #13. They were all fabulous in their way. Thanks for giving us these wonderful choices.Was your kitchen anywhere in there?

    ReplyDelete
  103. #8- guess I'm in the minority. Love ornate and bling.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Choice #2 has the perfect layout for a cook's kitchen and would be beautiful to entertain in as well. I am a messy cook and it looks like it might be it's own separate room that you could close off if you needed to for the party - bonus! My own kitchen layout most closely resembles #3 and sometimes the big sink smack in the middle of my island is a hindrance when cooking. Fun things to think about as usual!

    ReplyDelete
  105. Put me down for #13 also,that wood topped island along with those green cabinets,gorgeous!Can not go wrong with that copper hood either.Almost all of those kitchens are to die for,next time you run this contest a picture of your kitchen will be in there.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I LOVE number 13. The rustic wood island is to die for. Love the lighting as well.

  108. I choose #13. Love the rustic look on the island. My kitchen now is basically #8---funny how tastes change!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. That was EASY! Had to be only #4,dark and cozy.It could have only been better if there had been a little round kitchen under a hill in a hobbit home.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Love the space in 5 but 8 it is!!! Send the contractors - I'm ready to start!

    ReplyDelete
  111. #1 That light streaming in seals it for me!

    ReplyDelete
  112. This is my first comment on your blog. I found your site after a Google search for an image of rustic Tuscan rooms and the open stone hallway featured in post May 10th came up. I LOVE YOUR BLOG and will siubcribe. I spent the entire weekend from start to finish. So sorry you lost post one. Well #7 was my favorite under I scrolled to #10 but when I got to # 13 That was the one! Can't wait to see your home all decorated and complete.

    ReplyDelete
  113. #5. I like the over-sized island. I can see placing a large spread of appetizers on it and sitting, eating, drinking, and being merry for a long time!

    Madame - Will you be going abroad again this year?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Ahhhh... my head is spinning!! #14 has always been a favorite of mine, but tonight I'm digging the mood in #13. It's so warm and cozy that I might actually enjoy cooking! I would definitely enjoy sitting alone, having a glass of wine and listening to music in that spot!!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Hi! I'm visiting from Anita's blog! Oh this is a fun post... I just redid my kitchen {because it reallllly needed it!} and I just love the first one... I also like #14. Creamy and soft... warm and welcoming.
    So nice to stop by... I'm off to read your other posts!

  117. Choice #1, choice #1, choice #1!!! I didn't even have to look at the other options...choice #1 is MY future kitchen :)

  118. #1 hands down favorite! Love white kitchens, marble and lots of windows!

    ReplyDelete
  119. 1 or 9 for me. But they are all gorgeous!

  121. I was gong to say 2 until I saw 7, and then 7 until I saw 11. 11 it is for me!

  122. No 1 is by far the least cluttered. Drop the height of the bench and put the stools under, and lighter colour even cane.. Change the light fittings especially over the table to something still making a statement but gentler on the eye. It looks fresh and clean....could be Aussie....open up your space so you can enjoy it all at one time....table and chairs great colour as well as size....look at the photo and envisage looking at an open space rather than looking up at a bench at bar height. Good Luck!! Karlie Melbourne

  123. Oh forgot to say...it needs a bunch of Basil in vase and some great looking bottles of olive oil and vinegars in a container on the bench near hot plates...and mayb an alessi silver bowl with lemons and limes. Put some food out..even a vertical stack of oranges apples and bananas..Ha!!!!! Oh and on the side of the hot plates a low bowl with chillies, garlic etc... dont need flowers!!! think of "Its Complicated" dvd..kitchen.....inviting to stop with a glass of wine....Karlie Melbourne

  125. there are a lot of nice choices but my favorite would be number 7. maybe it's because of the contrasting colors and the design.:)
