Before replacing refrigerator (mentioned by someone else) look into whether or not your door can be mounted on the other side (many have this feature). With all the different finishes of wood in the area, your kitchen doesn't have a cohesive feel, it's choppy looking. Pick a color stain and refinish all the doors and cabinets to that color. The mismatched wall mount microwave sticks out like a sore thumb, definitely look at the painting option mentioned above as replacing is expensive. I also agree painting or staining the wood trim around the kitchen table and your chairs would give it a fresher look and make it look more cohesive. I'm also leaning to painting the beadborads and chair rail white. I would leave the countertops alone picking a color you think a potential buyer may like is tough as everyone has their own style and personal likes and dislikes. You can repurpose your mini blind to make a great fabric roman shade, there are many diy websites to show you step by step how to do it or replace it., you can find new for $12-$15 dollars if you shop around. And the most important thing is declutter and clean to perfection. Accent with bowls of fresh fruit (more economical than flowers as you can eat the fruit after the showing). Burning candles is great in theory, but I lie on the side of safety, you don't leave burning candles unattended, look into a led option candle and carefully tuck away a plug in to give that apple cinnamon scent or bake an apple pie to leave cooling during the showing which evokes a homey feel and again can be consumed after the showing. There are several great articles here on staging a house for showing, check them out and good luck.

So question, if we decide not to go with the two upper cabinets flanking the sink, would you suggest keeping the same spacing in-between the windows or going bigger with the window above the sink. Since this is the only window we are adding it is the only one we can change if needed. Thanks! Construction started today. Demo of kitchen almost done. We decided on sierra bordeaux for the counter tops and island top. Leaning towards a brown stain on the island and cream colored cabinets with a chocolate glaze. I'm attaching a picture of the granite we picked out. Also floor will be tumbled travertine in a versailles pattern.

They might have said it was stark because it's a cool color. One of the neat things about different colors is that they are all varied combinations of red, green and blue. This creates warm colors (more red), cool colors (more blue), and neutral (balanced). moonlit snow probably had more blue tones, so it will give a colder feel. A light color is definitely the way to go, but be aware if its a cooler color (less inviting) or it's warmer, which will feel cozier and more inviting. Go with a beige that is slightly warm, but not too yellow, or a grey beige that is neutral.
