Oh I don't know... nothing says "kitchen" quite like a pair of oversized teak fork and spoon on the wall... and an assortment of copper bundt cake and Jello molds in assorted shapes and sizes...

My condolences, who died?

Actually, it did in the 60's and that's when this was designed.

If the cabinet doors were painted red or black it would be an example of the current rage of a European kitchen,they have also always been into the no appliances protrude past the cabinets.

I have some paperwork from the 1950s when the US Department of Kitchens existed,a government agency that was formed to actually design ergonomic kitchens,the galley kitchen was considered the most efficient.

I also agree it looks sterile,the other one,outside of the popcorn ceiling to me looks nice but overdone to the point of dark and dreary,maybe the choice of wall tile.

Now there's a great use for my tax dollars. I like the kitchen in the first photo. It looks clean, roomy, bright, and looks like you can get in there and whip something up. hybridy's photo looks exactly those complementary kitchens that come with the viewing room @ a funeral home. The only thing missing is the plastic container from Kroger's, with the three month shelf life sandwich rolls. The wax fruit is also a nice touch.
