Kitchens with Color

I love kitchens. Probably because I love baking. I especially love kitchen design. Currently the trend right now is all white kitchens and open shelving. Although white kitchens can be gorgeous I don't think they are always practical, especially if you have a young family. Obviously using white in a kitchen will help reflect light and make the space appear more open. So some white in the kitchen is great. However, kitchens are one of main working rooms in the house and can take a beating. So why would you every paint that area completely white?! And I think open shelving can work- if you have matching/beautiful tableware and plenty of storage. There are some gorgeous kitchens I really like that have color. Color on the cabinets, tiles, floor. Something to hide all the wear and tear that a kitchen takes on. I've posted a few of my favorites below.
