If you’re at all like me, you have fantasized (more than once) about your dream kitchen. For me, it has stainless steal, top-of-the-line appliances, ample cabinet space, a cute breakfast bar, gorgeous granite counter tops, an organized pantry, trendy, but functional light fixtures, and splashes of color in its accessories. I’m easy to please, right?! 
Last night, Mal and I went to Ikea to pick up a new storage piece for our apartment. While shopping, I took some time to enjoy the kitchen displays, which I love! They’re bright and sleek, and full of clever ideas that keep everything organized and in its right place. They’re heaven for someone like me who has a slight case of OCD!
Every time I see a new kitchen display at Ikea, I imagine what it would be like to cook, dine, and entertain in it. So, just for fun, I snapped some photos for you guys to select your Ikea dream kitchen (or just your favorite kitchen) from the 7 different options below.
(I was lucky to have a handsome male model as a visual aid during the kitchen photo shoot. Mal offered to demonstrate how you could interact within each of the kitchens. He is such a goofball!)

Ooh, #2! With #6 a close second.
I love kitchen #4!
Your husband is hilarious….there needs to be more fun loving people like that in the world!
I’m totally torn between 2, 4, and 5! LOL – Love Mal showing the “real life” aspect of the kitchen!
I like Kitchen 1 – Mal is hilarious
Yup, I’m a 5 girl. Stainless steel KEEEEEEELS me though. Mine, at least, is a pain to keep clean.
I love #1 — I dream about a kitchen that’s red/black/white!
#1!!!!!!
hahaha.. looks like you guys had fun! I like kitchens 4 & 5
#3 and #5. oh man this makes me DROOL!
Kitchen 5 is gorrrrrrrgeous
I want kitchen number two and number five! how fun! (Can you believe I’ve never been to an Ikea before? shame…)
I like number 5!!!!
love the island in 5 and the look of 4!
#4, so cute!
I’m in love with kitchen #2. It just looks so cozy and wonderful!
3 or 5! Or maybe 2. Haha, I like them all!
Aw, I love browsing and goofing around at Ikea! Love the look of 4!
ooo, number 4 or number 5!!
haha thanks for sharing the pics! i like 3 and 6 the best … but those kitchens are making me so sad!! i know i’ll never have anything close to that, and i want it sooooo desperately! must get out of nyc (aka world’s biggest money pit!) …
love, love, all of them!! i can’t choose! i love ikea!!!
I love going to ikea to look at the kitchens. I guess I have a slight case of OCD also.
those are really beautiful kitchens, kitchen #5 looks so elegant and sexy, while #6 is very cute.
I like #4! I’m all about the white
Fun post!
ah Sarah but who needs a big kitchen when everythign else is fabulous in NYC?
HAHA – hilarious! I’m like 95% sure our Ikea has the same set ups as yours! I love #5 minus the white blinds/shutters.
Goodness – i <3 kitchen #5!
I love doing things like that! Def #3!
Tina – I want to update my selection:) In addition to liking number 1 – I also like a combination of 3 and 5… Cabinets in 3 and the Island in 5
Super fun post.
I like 3 and 5 . . . but they’re all great!!! It’s just such a hard decision! I live in a studio, so my kitchen is TINY! I would love to have an eat-in kitchen one day, with lots of open space and windows and beautiful cabinets and appliances!
I want kitchen 6. It looks cozy!
What a great idea! I’ve spent too long trying to decide, but I think I like 6 the most. Looks like the best kitchen to eat breakfast in, my favourite meal of the day!
Maybe your husband should go pro?
What fun! I like #1.
don’t think i can pick a fav, but the last two are prob my least fav… but any of them would be amazing
hahahahahha i was cracking up at your hubby!! too cute! love all those kitchens!! i love ikea!
#3 appeals to where I am at in life right now. Young, un-wed (but with a soon to be fiance), and child-less. It’s trendy and cool – just what I aspire to be! lol
#4 appeals to me long-term. That’s a kitchen I can see myself being happy in for the rest of my life.
Ooooo it’s a toughie!
I can’t choose, but I do love the play in the Ikea kitchens!
Ha! Love Mal’s action shots.
I love the ‘homey’ feel of kitchen #6 but kitchen #5! Those appliances! That counter space! I might as well be competing on Top Chef…
HAHAHA OH MY GOD! Mal is so hysterical ! I can’t say which i love best because I’m living with a pretty spiffed out kitch! But I love the picture of him looking in the fridge.
I love how much you guys have fun together.
Kitchen’s 1, 3, and 5 are my faves. I think if I took Kitchen 3 and changed the colour of the feature wall to a green, it would be perfection and would win out over the others
I can’t decide between Kitchens 2 & 5. I like the “homey” feeling of Kitchen 2, but I am drooling over the storage space in Kitchen 5. I think I’m going to have to go with #5…
Ooh…love this game! Kitchens 3&5.
