What do you want from your kitchen?

if you have the budget what about a total gut. and find a floor plan online.

I would like to have it modern,airy & have it brighter....thank you

ikea cabinets (they will help you design) and skylights will give you modern and airy and brighter.

If you are going modern I would look at replacing the cabinets or refacing them. I would also omit the cabinet to the left of the window where the ceiling slopes and add some floating shelves here that tie into the ceiling.

If skylights are too much do a solatube or 2

These are all brilliant ideas...thank you so much you have been a big help.......
The question I have is for Kathryn Brown.....
If I remove the cabinet on the left by the window...How would I add the floating shelves? It was not clear to me.Do I add them parallel to the window where the existing cabinet now is located...or would I add the floating shelves against the wall but up to the ceiling?.Please advise.....Thank you
