comparing tastes: kitchens

It's no secret that Ryan & I have our own tastes when it comes to home design. We definitely agree on things (such as wood floors, granite, backyard, etc.), but of course we can't agree on everything, right?

For example... Ryan's taste in kitchens is more of a dark, rich look like this picture with pretty cherry cabinets and earth-toned granite counter tops.

My eye (as I'm sure you've gathered by now) is more drawn to the light, bright & airy -- yet cozy -- feel of a white kitchen.

Thoughts?? What style would YOU lean towards more in a kitchen?
