I have kempas throughout the main floor of my colonial for 2 years. it has held up well with 4 children and 2 dogs! my mom has told me "don't put it in your kitchen, you'll be sorry!" but I can't seem to find a flooring that transitions well in terms of color and texture. I have not decided on cabinets yet. though I am goin w/ Ikea Adel Med brown, birch or white........see, I'm not decided!

what do you think, extend the hardwood, or something else?

then, what color cabinets?

dark kitchen, one window. Thanks!
