    I would like one of each. I love all of them, but I voted for the Historic St. Paul Renovation. I love the different finishes and the chandeliers. LOVE.

    Love none of them. Like Medina. The biggest flaw (in my opinion) is that the cooking and sink areas are so far apart. If I am cooking alone, I want them to be as close as possible while not having too little counter space between. The Medina has lots of interactive seating for entertaining. Ovens, fridges, and pantry cabinets can be more distant since I don't spend so much time there.

    I like that there is no woodworking that surrounds the stove from above the vent. When removing a pot from the stove I want to be able to slide it over the counter and not lift around any decorative woodworking or cabinetry that is too close. I also think that an area of about 12-15 inches of stainless steel surrounding the stove/or stove/oven on both sides would be great so a cook would not have to worry about burning the counter.

    This one seemed to be on the most human of scales of the 6. The 3rd one, Woolman, looked like they wanted to throw in every style!

    fantastic - Martha O'Hara your kitchen stands out amongst the crowd. I was tempted to vote historic, but it seems less practical - while I love the crystal chandeliers and all the beautiful details, it seemed just a wee bit too fussy for a kitchen :) Martha's had the right mix of luxury and practicality for me.

    Adore the Old World elegance of the Historic Renovation! I can just picture the grand and stately homes of the Cathedral Hill area.

    I love the feel and texture of Lake Country, so I voted for that. But I hate barstools and so hope that trend dies before I fall off and hurt myself. Totally inappropriate for over fifty, or under five, or anyone with short legs, or a weight issue. That and I agree with Mamallama - a cook needs to be able to add or remove liquid from a pot on the stove without ballerina twirls. Give us a sink stove workspace, not a room with decorative pieces scattered throughout.

    I don't know if I want to cook in Lake Country Kitchen, but I sure would like to live in it!

    Voted Lake Country, I have a soft spot for lodge interiors.

    Voted Lake Country, love the finishes...not necessarily the layout!
  • 14 years ago
    Love them all, except for the Lake Country, a bit to rustic for my taste.

    All are gorgeous, but I chose the Medina Luxury Home Tour because of the gorgeous windows (love the corner windows!)

    the Lake Country because it makes me feel like I'm outside while inside cooking...I just love being outside!!!!

    I like 1, 4, 5, and 6 for their earth tones and simple color schemes. Rich wood tones paired with off white bring a lovely calm to the kitchen. Love the checker board floor in number 6. Subway tile backsplash is always stylish and beautiful symmetry in the cabinetry in number 1 pleases the eye.

    This house is breathtaking!!!!! The colors and textures, marble floors and soothing bedroom colors and lovely green accented sitting rooms are so warm and inviting!! Loved seeing it.

    that is the 1929 estate.

    Lake Country Kitchen is my favorite. Because it's gorgeous! I love all the woods! And am very tired of white kitchens.... very. blah.

    I was thinking same thing as Mamallama-which is a valid point, as if you want to drain some foods from hot water, you need sink close by for safety reason too as you don't want to be carrying hot water with others around you. Some food you want to put back in pan straight away and back on heat.

    Although I voted for the first one, Woolman's win on the point regarding sink being closer to cooking area-but would prefer the sink a little higher.

    Lake Country is beautiful while also being "homey." I'm with lynnrww in that I despise sanitarium-style kitchens that feature white, white, and more white. Rich wood tones makes me want to downsize the Lake Country kitchen into my own home!

    All so beautiful, but in the end I had to choose the Cook's Paradise. Love it!
  • 14 years ago
    Cook's Paradise. I love a white roomy kitchen.
  • 14 years ago
    I voted for Historic St. Paul. Cook's Paradise would have gotten my vote if they had not blocked in the stove with woodworking. As big and beautiful as these kitchens are, I do not see a baking station incorporated.

    I loved them all but Cramer Builder's had a perfect balance between elegance and rustic.

    The first choice (when all options are relatively close in quality) always wins. It's a survey design fact.
  • 14 years ago
    Per my last comment, you can overcome the bias by randomizing the order of the options on every survey visit.

    White and Dark Brown are timeless combination.

    I love the look of the Lake kitchen; however for greater efficiency and therefore a better experience every time I choose Martha's kitchen. The work triangle is very efficient. A sink in the island is a wonderfully practical feature. The window sink is perfect for musings, growing herbs, food prep on a perimeter wall. And it is pretty...lol, there's that.
