Consider your wood flooring. Many times people buy natural wood finishes in all their furniture, forgetting about how much wood there already is in the floors. If the floor in this kitchen had been stained a dark, matching brown tone, all those beautiful cabinets and countertops would get lost against it. The golden tone of the floor serves to create contrast and adds a third color layer. This kitchen also throws an unexpected curve: The sink base cabinets become their own element, painted white in a run of dark stained cabinetry.

8. Architectural details for cabinetry. In this kitchen you'll see legs on the sink-wall base cabinets in addition to an architectural surround that really draws your eye to that focal point. You may also note that the sink's base cabinets are a different depth than the cabinets on either side — these undulating depths add visual interest. Traditional kitchens employ details like legs and pilasters on islands, furniture-style toe kicks that make the cabinets look like they're freestanding, and custom wood hood surrounds that sometimes look like fireplace surrounds. All of these details layer on top of one other to make a traditional kitchen go the full distance.

Traditional kitchens. Traditional kitchens are defined by their details, which can include arches, decorative moldings and corbels, raised-panel cabinets, a mix of antique finishes and furniture-like turned legs — even a chandelier. Whether they have a classic American or old-world flavor, they still carry the stamp of their owners' personal style.Guide: 15 Elements of a Traditional Kitchen

LOVE the cabinets ... legs on each side of the sink and dark and cream mix,

The mix and placement of hues in this kitchen are so interesting and unexpected and it all works! The counter top on the island is particularly intriguing. I've never seen that. The whole area exudes warmth.

i like this... just may put stove where window is with a vent
