So what would you choose when you have to go for a kitchen design.  Should it be smart, should it be usable with more and more space to hide the dishes and half filled cookie jars or should it be beautiful with a metallic modern finish with the pieces of art that you would love to show off to the world.  Don't say all of the them as that is not an option :)  Or at least I can't think of that design right now.

Now there are kitchen design principals that mostly talks about how every thing should be closely accessible to the person who is cooking the meal but if there are more than one person preparing the meal as is the case in India's joint families then we start to look beyond that principal.

In this post I don't want to go into the kitchen design principals but rather I want to find out what do you guys think when you get to design a kitchen and I want to start a series where you guys post your comments on the kitchen pictures posted in this website to tell all of us what do you like about each design.
