5. Slice of Americana
The real brick pavers covering the backsplash and area behind the antique dish rack in this Houston kitchen add plenty of character, but it’s the Americana-inspired island that earns the biggest salute.

#'s 2,7,8 and 10!
I like all except #4; way too modern for me.
Wow #2 has alot in common with my kitchen. It is amazing how the buttercream yellow makes a neutral backdrop for blue plates and red decor. (I tried beaucoup beiges, blues and greens but yellow was best.)And best brightening i did was paint wainscot white because we aren't blessed with windows and only one pendant over the sink. So #2 is my favorite but i like most of them.
