Kitschy Kitchen #15

I ran across this kitchen today on This Old House online
Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Kitchens Ever.

























Where shall I start?

First, I can see why the editors were enamored...the colors are stunning. The tangerine walls are the perfect counterpoint to the cherry-tone cabinets and stainless accents.

But the microwave on top of the fridge??? I certainly hope the inhabitants are tall.

And the sink jammed right next to that 48" commercial range on the left and 12" from the fridge on the right...Maybe the inhabitants are tall and really skinny, and don't need much counter space or wash dishes - ever.

Then there's the window on the left side of the range...Looks operable to me.

I'm also not so sure about that stainless pendant swagged from an old ceiling fixture in the center of the ceiling.

I just couldn't resist chiding editors who should know better.
