It’s Time to Vote for Your Favorite (Kitchen, That Is!)

by hookedonhouses on November 3, 2008

Election Day has finally arrived here in the U.S. after what feels like the longest presidential campaign in the history of the world. I don’t get political on my blog, but I thought it would be fun to take a vote here today–for your favorite kitchen, that is. So tell me, which one of these rooms would you prefer to cook in for the next four years?

Do you like a kitchen that’s calm and cool like this blue kitchen?

Or maybe you prefer a little more energy and the visual “heat” like this red kitchen has?

Don’t like the blue or red? Prefer to remain independent of color and neutral like this white kitchen? Let us know by voting for your favorite in the poll below!
~

Don’t forget to take your sticker on the way out and wear it proudly!

You forgot D-all of the above. LOL

margaret November 3, 2008 at 9:56 pm

or D none of the above:)

Angela (Cottage Magpie) November 3, 2008 at 10:30 pm

Okay, I went Independent. I just love the white on white. I’m too fickle with colors! :-)

The white is just so calming right now with the chaos going on around us! beautiful!!!

Wingnut November 3, 2008 at 11:03 pm

I like the size of the blue kitchen, but I seriously love the red one! WOW!!!

Jan November 3, 2008 at 11:11 pm

Well…if there is NO OPTION D…none of the above…and I have to pick one of the 3, I guess it would have to be the BLUE Kitchen. I detest blue in Kitchens. I have NEVER liked blue in a Kitchen…and after catering and making and decorating Wedding Cakes and seeing BLUE icing on them…it just makes me cringe…BLUE in a KITCHEN! UGH!!

Maya November 4, 2008 at 1:37 am

That blue ocean-breeze kitchen of course!

desiree November 4, 2008 at 2:08 am

That was fun! After all the election stuff, I needed that!

Suzann November 4, 2008 at 6:38 am

A nice break from the never ending election “stuff”.

Jen November 4, 2008 at 7:20 am

How fun! I loved the blue one. So soothing. It might even have inspired me to change up my kitchen. Nahhhh. Too much to do to the rest of the house.

Amy from Texas November 4, 2008 at 8:24 am

That white kitchen is soooo cozy. I want to move my island out and put my table there. What a cool idea.

Sher November 4, 2008 at 8:40 am

I voted “A” for the counter tops; it was a toss-up between A and C. I think I would feel like I would have to take steroids if I cooked every day in “B”.

reagan November 4, 2008 at 8:43 am

I am really LOVING that creamy white kitchen! I like the blue one too but I just love the rustic look of the white one. It’s so funny because normally I would say the red one, but I think it might be too early in the morning to stare at hard shiny red cabinets. :)

Linda November 4, 2008 at 8:49 am

Heee…I voted just like my party afffiliation…without even knowing it!

Hoping you don’t end up with “hanging chads”, Julia!!

Kathryn Wells November 4, 2008 at 8:56 am

Oh, cute, Julia! Love your “sticker”. :-) I voted for the independent, white kitchen!

Angela November 4, 2008 at 10:12 am

Love the button! Love the white kitchen (if someone else cleans up for me after I cook!) ;-)

Amanda @ The Mom Crowd November 4, 2008 at 10:30 am

So, I voted with my party affiliation unknowingly. :) I also like the view from the red kitchen.

Liz November 4, 2008 at 10:35 am

That first kitchen, whoa.

Christine November 4, 2008 at 11:44 am

I’m going back and forth between the blue and white kitchens! So pretty! In the end I picked the white, I love the backsplash and that beautiful table in the middle. I picture myself mixing cookie dough while my kids (this is obviously in a couple years)proceed to make a mess cutting out different cookie shapes. Ahhhh, things to look forward to:-)

Christine November 4, 2008 at 11:45 am

Oh, and the floor, beautiful.

Amy November 4, 2008 at 12:06 pm

I love the blue kitchen. It’s so sweet and calming and looks like the perfect place to make cookies with the kiddos.

Astrid November 4, 2008 at 12:56 pm

I voted for one but I have to admit I wouldn’t actually choose any of them in real life. The blue has a chilly feeling to me, the red is too modern and the white is …well…too white!

Nell November 4, 2008 at 1:19 pm

I am all over the blue kitchen. I love the cottage feel, yet it’s crisp and clean. I’d love to hang there with my friends creating a delicious meal…Or bake a gazillion cookies with the kids. Nice.

cynthia November 4, 2008 at 1:25 pm

wow, I just found your site today, its fabulous!!! what a great job you’ve done and fantastic resources too!! Ive seen a few buttons on peoples pages and now im here, glad I came!! I’ll be back often!

~ Hugs ~ Cynthia, ps: I voted for the white one, I need peace today, lol ;) !

Melinda November 4, 2008 at 1:40 pm

Do I get free Starbucks with the sticker?

sandra/tx November 4, 2008 at 1:46 pm

Cute! LOL I liked the blue one, but I liked the white one better. For us red-staters, however, I’m sure you could’ve found a better red kitchen. LOL

kasey November 4, 2008 at 1:53 pm

of course i picked the white kitchen girl!

maya @ springtree road November 4, 2008 at 2:46 pm

i LOVE the blue one, but what i’m really psyched about is having 3 choices instead of 2.

Heather November 4, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Love the blue one. Don’t know if I would actually have the guts to have it in my house though!

Melissa Lewis - Off The Wall November 4, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Love the last photo. So cozy and warm. I could cook in there all day:)

Fifi Flowers November 4, 2008 at 6:47 pm

Love that white kitchen… and my kitchen is TOTAL opposite! FUNNY! But of the 3… that would be my FAV! I like this kind of voting… no major campaigning… just nice and simple!

Fifi Flowers November 4, 2008 at 6:48 pm

Ooooops… forgot to say which one in the comment… only voted… the WHITE ONE!

hookedonhouses November 4, 2008 at 7:12 pm

You guys are so funny. I’ve been at the hospital all day with my husband who was having surgery. Just got home and loved reading through all of your comments. -Julia :-)

KayVonne November 4, 2008 at 9:53 pm

Thanks for the election day fun!!

Robyn November 4, 2008 at 10:36 pm

I just couldn’t cook in the red kitchen – it’s too modern for me. It was a toss-up between the blue and the white. I think that I finally had to go with the blue kitchen. I am so undecided, do you think you could badger me a little more, knock on my door, call me a few times, take a few surveys…..Robyn

hookedonhouses November 4, 2008 at 10:39 pm

Robyn–
Ha! I’ll send some Robocalls your way. Maybe they’ll help you make up your mind. -Julia :)

Robin November 5, 2008 at 12:52 am

My gemini personality and issues with option overload make this a difficult decision. So I’d like the blue one in the cottage by the beach, the red one in my lake house and the white one in my city brownstone. Right after I win the lottery.

Kim~HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs November 5, 2008 at 7:49 am

It was a hard for me to decide between the blue and the white kitchen because they both were soooo nice…in the end the blue on did it for me, even though I’d probably NEVER have blue in my own kitchen.

Jen R Sanctuary Arts November 5, 2008 at 8:29 am

Even though I am not a white person, I love the white kitchen. maybe i”d have to paint it a slight yellow….

Ramona Owen November 5, 2008 at 9:21 am

That white kitchen with the table in the middle is my dream kitchen…it reminds me of the kitchen in the movie “Moonstruck”…love it!

Great post!

Smiles ~ Ramona

Ms.Tee November 5, 2008 at 3:08 pm

What a cute idea, Julia! I love the white kitchen – just so beautiful! :0)

amarins November 5, 2008 at 3:09 pm

O my, one of the few one’s that go for the red one. I love it, want one like that when i ever move again.

Pat November 5, 2008 at 4:57 pm

Hi Julia

I hope your husband is feeling better and will ahve a speedy recovery!

I loved kitchen # 1 because of it’s cute cottage appeal and I love blue!

Thanks — Pat

Rhoda November 5, 2008 at 5:30 pm

I voted for the white one too, it’s just too pretty! I’m so far behind on my blog reading, but am now caught up with Top Design. Can’t wait to see the finale. I’ve been reading Eddie’s blog & it’s pretty fun to read.

rue November 5, 2008 at 5:58 pm

Hi Julia :)

This was a hard decision! I love A & C (Yuck on B), but I chose A. I wanted to chose both because it’s a complete tie for me. So do I get to win it if mine is picked??? ;)

laura @ the shore house November 5, 2008 at 6:45 pm

Sorry I missed election day on Hooked on Houses! Not sure if the polls are officially still open but I cast my vote for white. If I have to live with it for four years, I want a blank canvas that matches everything. I’m not crazy about the huge tiles but I could learn to live with. In a pinch. :-)

As an aside, I am so tired today I’m not sure how I’m still upright.

Sue November 5, 2008 at 7:20 pm

I actually love the red color but that kitchen was a bit too modern for my taste. the first one just suited me best…now, can i change the blue tones in the first one to red? *smile* That is me, a true political rabblerouser! *grin*

Love,
Sue

Norma November 5, 2008 at 7:20 pm

Hi Julia, I really like the first one.

Gina November 6, 2008 at 5:27 am

Depends on the style of the house. Has to fit in with the other rooms. I would choose the style of the red kitchen but in white, yes in white.

I love the white one!

Linda@ Restyled Home November 6, 2008 at 8:16 am

You know which one I picked!! A girl with a blue kitchen already, has to remain loyal!!
I also posted a pretty kitchen on my blog today…it has a similar vibe…even has pink appliances!! I’m sure your reader who hates blue kitchens would really hate this one!!

http://restyledhome.blogspot.com/2008/11/sweets-from-kitchen.html

Great idea, Julia!!

Amy November 6, 2008 at 10:46 am

I love that blue kitchen so much I can hardly believe anyone could vote for another! Hehe. Thanks for checking out my blog, Julia!

Bella Casa November 7, 2008 at 9:28 am

I love both the blue and white, but voted for the blue…it’s funny how brick backsplash is all the rage now….we have a brick backsplash, but it’s real brick, from the 70′s and I hate it, lol. Next week hubby takes off the whole week and will start painting, probably just the walls and not the brick…we’ll see…still up in the air. Going for a green, since our countertops are a lovely shade of Formica Emerald Green. I hope I at least ‘like’ it when it’s done, I am not sure I would ‘love’ anything in this kitchen, it so needs to be gutted. Hopefully no more old kitchens for me in the future…

Bella :)

There are very nice kitchens, but nothing like my own. Not any fancier, not any larger, not any luxurier. Just “my” kitchen that my wife and I designed for ourselves about 15 years ago. Looking at it, there is nothing that we would have make different. And most people that come into our house for the first time think that the kitchen is brand new.
