The Best Kitchens Featured On HGTV's Home Town

We've fallen in love with the town of Laurel, Mississipi, over the several seasons of Ben and Erin Napier's HGTV show "Home Town." The couple has shared their passion for community revitalization and home restoration since they were discovered by HGTV after being featured on "Southern Weddings" (via People). While the couple may be in a small town, they have no shortage of big dreams and style, borrowing from Victorian, American Arts and Crafts, and even more niche design movements. They also share a unique ability to recycle existing building materials, furniture, and textiles. 

One of the unique aspects of the show is the couples' love and respect for the home's histories and deep care for their clients. This special set of talents reaches through every corner of the homes they work on, including the kitchens. We've gotten to see countless kitchen and dining space transformations of all sizes on the show, but we wanted to call special attention to just a few of these beauties. 

We love a dark cabinet moment — it is decidedly neutral but adds both more edge and warmth to a kitchen than typical white cabinetry. 

With solid white-grey countertops, pink cabinets, and delicate feminine details, you don't even realize that the same tile is on the floors. The thoughtful design work and a fresh coat of paint breathe new life into the tiles. 

We love the craftsman brass drawer pulls and the mini island that makes the space feel so much homier. Plus, the backsplash made from hand-crafted tiles isn't a bad touch either. 

Then tan-gold accents in the marble countertops help to warm up the kitchen, even with its cool green cabinets and white backsplash. 

Now, the front door opens directly into the kitchen and dining space, with views directly into the living room. While you may not expect an entryway to start in the kitchen, it's actually a great opportunity for entertaining, as it gives you a chance to offer guests a snack or drink before relaxing in the lounge. 

While taking space away from the kitchen can make homeowners run for the hills, it gives this room the ability to function as a multi-purpose gathering space for a family. 

Removing the paneling and using a gorgeous cerulean blue on the cabinets suddenly makes this kitchen feel like a beachy oasis. 

The two-tone cabinets help to keep this kitchen from feeling too sterile or shockingly white. The gray-veined white marble floors are also quintessentially classy. 

While we like a white kitchen with delicate details, we couldn't help but fall in love with this rugged yet sophisticated kitchen. The red brick and wooden stand-alone island are absolutely swoon-worthy.

Everybody give it up for this Mexican mission-style home, especially those vibrant and intricately patterned black splash tiles. It's no wonder this is one of our all-time favorite "Home Town" kitchens. 

But Ben and Erin manage to totally make it work by replacing the bottom of the feature with matching robin's egg blue cabinetry and a stunning gas range. Ambient lighting also removes the creepy factor and adds a ton of uniqueness to the kitchen. 

Ben and Erin needed to keep their budget as low as possible without making this kitchen look or feel like it. They cleverly used vinyl peel-and-stick wallpaper on the backsplash and countertops to add plenty of color and character to the space without breaking the owner's bottom line. 

While white subway tile remains popular for the foreseeable future, we always love to see a mosaic backsplash moment. This eclectic, boho kitchen is a dreamy but functional space. 

It was nothing a little demolition, ash wood cabinets, and a herringbone backsplash couldn't solve. We especially love the contrast between the icy blues of the living room and this white, almost serene space. 

This kitchen is a stunner from every angle, but the detail that caused our jaws to drop was the church-pew-turned-breakfast-nook transformation. We'd love to curl up with a book and a cup of coffee in this darling vignette.
