On day 5 of 7 in the Venice Garden & Home Tour Series, we’re braving the heat and heading into the kitchen. From cheery to serene, these kitchens would inspire even the least domestically inclined individual to get to cooking (at least that’s what I told my husband).

Here are the top 4:

Poppy mint-green makes cooking a dream

Who can complain about washing dishes with this view?

Sleek and shiny with a pop of color

If you have to stare at a wall while cooking, paint it orange with contrasting green bamboo planted in front

What’s Next? Tomorrow we’ll see how to bring the art world home.
