My favourite kitchens of '08

I will be posting over the next few days my favourite photos of the year, by room type. The dining rooms from this year (and by this year I mean that I've saved on Flickr after Jan 1 '08) that have inspired me are below.

Reasons I love these: a car on the wall, lotsa white, concrete, expanse of countertop, soaring ceiling, floor to ceiling subway tile, chandelier in the kitchen, modern and sleek, industrial, open storage, furniture for cabinets, rustic (with no uppers), and one that I can actually enjoy.

What a great inspiration! As a Swede I'm proud to see a kitchen from one of my favorite magazines, Sköna Hem!

All the best in the new year!

I tend to like more traditional style kitchens...but these all have some elements I like!

Happy New Year...."see" you in 2009!

I vote for your kitchen too. Oh hang on this isn't a contest is it. Thank God :)

[Design Girl]

These kitchens are gorgeous. I'd take differnt aspects of all of them to make a gorgeous super kitchen...mixing the old with the new.

I wonder if my landlord would mind me knocking down a few walls!

[Lynne]

What a great selection. I love the one with the little lights with a bird on the wire...but they are all great.

[RP30]

Wow, I swear you kitchen belongs right in there with the rest.

I am impressed!

[Sparrow]

Wow, very cool selection. I have to agree, yours is my favorite! so warm and inviting.

[Bespoke Press]

Do you think if I snuck into the first kitchen and stole their car they would notice :)

[kim.]

LOL - thanks Jo!

Design Girl, I learned with my kitchen reno that knocking out walls to open a kitchen is a BLAST!

:-) thanks RP30 and Sparrow!

Bespoke Press, LOL. And thanks Lynne.
