my dream kitchen would look more like the transitional kitchen!!

Neither of the two pictures you posted. The first is way too cluttered and too difficult to keep clean and the second (although I prefer the cleaner lines) is too dark for me. Thanks for posting.

This look works for me:

i'd vote for judy's....

They are both beautiful kitchens and I am the type to make best of any kitchen really. Having said that i do have a preference for display cabinets like in the first pic. and I love the kitchen island and cabinets.

I prefer transitionsal but not as a rustic look as the one posted.

You have a good point robertaz. I am all in for easy to clean.
