Tami, how do you get them to show like that in your post?

Wasn't #1 an inspiration photo for someone a year or so ago? I can't remember who it was, but I'm wondering how their kitchen ultimately turned out.

taggie, there's an embed button on the photos in Houzz. Just click that and they generate code that you just copy and paste.

tami78, thanks for getting the ball rolling. I am having trouble narrowing in on ten. will post soon.

I like most of your choices - and they are certainly more interesting spaces than the Houzz choices!

I'm curious what you like about #6.

Here are my choices... In no particular order

I would trade this picture out for the one in my #1 position (which is just a little cold for me but I like the drama of it)... this picture was posted by francoise47 a while back but I couldn't find it on houzz. I love the warmth of it:

Linelle, that was BalTra - and I believe she finally installed soapstone counters. Not sure about the rest of the kitchen.

Tami, I love number 5!!! I am going to keep that for my son. That would be a great look for his space.

I like #6 for the huge bar, counters and I think the cabinets are gorgeous. It does have a lot of elements I don't love though (pillers, etc.).

In looking at my Houzz ideabook again I forgot about this one! This may be my #2 favorite...

There are really just ten Houzz kitchens that I came across in a quick 20 minute search, so they may not really be my top ten. No particular order, a fair amount of variety, although there are some common themes.

This is an old GW kitchen, and the primary inspiration for my kitchen, so I thought that I had better include it. This kitchen is at least five years old.

Really dislike the light fixture below, but the rest is nice:

Thanks, Tami.

Mamadadapaige, that kitchen was created and is owned by a designer in my town - Melanie Pounds. I wrote about, after seeing in House Beautiful:

Here is a link that might be useful: White Oak Cottage Kitchen

Tami, I love your #9 and #10. Sochi, love your last one especially. And mamadadapaige, I really like your last one (the gray contemporary) too! And your first one actually, agree it's a little cold but it's still quite spectacular really.

These are my top 10:

Wow lots of great kitchens, many I haven't seen before on Houzz even though I'm frequently in there. I see the same ones over and over so was curious what search words you guys using to find your mix?
Thanks.

Wow - some lovely kitchens posted here. I never tire of seeing Houzz inspiration kitchens. I've bookmarked a couple of mine - I think some have probably made the rounds around here, but worthy of posting anyway:

I didn't discover Houzz until way after the fact with our kitchen (same with GW, unfortunately) but the first kitchen has remained one of my favorites.

Wow, leela, that first kitchen is stunning. I've never seen it, I must have missed it on Houzz. That is my favourite so far, thanks for sharing.

Here are some of my favorites, not necessarily in order of preference. I love so many that it's hard to choose just 10!

Sochi-I think one of the very first photos I saw on Houzz was from that kitchen. Here are two more:

And also? Your kitchen has always been one of my all time favorites.

I'll play. Like Sochi, these aren't necessarily my faves, just some I found that I liked in a quick search. In no particular order:

I'm enjoying your choices much more than Houzz! I actually don't do Houzz, and have mentioned my distaste for the website before on GW. I want to play, but my Top 10 come from another website:

1. Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

2. Cement Tile Kitchen

3. Black Tie Kitchen

4. Eclectic Spanish Kitchen

5. Blue and White Mural Kitchen

6. White Oak Cottage Kitchen

7. Damask Tile Kitchen Next house, I'm going to do a large pattern tile like this - in the MBath:

8. Vintage Gumwood Cabinet Kitchen Sayde and her DH did such a great job!

9. Janes Country Kitchen Love so many things about Jane's kitchen:

10. Canvas Color Kitchen

11. BONUS French Gray Island Kitchen After 6 years, I am still in love with (almost) every inch of my kitchen:

(Oh my geez, that took a lot of time to do! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to participate.)
