Good morning…….glad I had a chance to recharge my batteries yesterday because today is an action packed day, in fact this entire week is NON STOP. I literally cringed when I looked at my calendar and saw everything going on, but I will get through it as I always do. Since I have been on a kitchen roll, we will continue today on the subject of kitchens. I never ever tire of looking at incredible kitchens…and I have  a feeling most of you don’t either. Call me a kitchen junkie, I take no offense. I never stop learning and getting inspired, and that is one of the many many things I love about blogging, the constant stimulation that I get from the endless resources and the tremendous amount of inspiration that is derived from so many incredible images that we share with one another.<\/p>\n

I have collected another round of really gorgeous kitchen images that are worth sharing so I am happy to present more scrumptious drool worthy kitchens!  Dark wood, light, wood, painted, glazed, heavily distressed, lightly distressed, European influenced, transitional, slightly modern, heavily traditional, they run the gamut but they all have one thing in common..they are all incredibly gorgeous, and are all done in fine taste. Some you might already know, but hopefuly there are some new surprises here as well.  So without further adue, here is round 2 of more ultimate kitchens! Do you have a favorite? So hard to pick just one! <\/p><\/div>\n
