Probably. Congrats on your new home. You know, though, I'd never remodel to suit furniture, not unless it was to suit personal treasures that I love and intend to die with. Furniture tastes and styles are far too fickle, and anyway, good furniture in modest or inappropriate architecture is going to look like just that.

I'd be awfully tempted in your situation to have a design specialist look over my home to help select a good look to work toward and then use the kitchen remodel as part of developing toward that "the best it can be" style.

In any case, wherever the ideas come from, IMO the job is to develop the house's style in the process of this remodel and forget the furniture for now. If it'd be quite appealing with a rather hybrid country cum raised ranch look, then that'd be a nice direction for the whole house to go. Decision on dark island or whatever coming later.

Besides any pix posted here (and maybe post some of your own for some suggestions that might actually be useful?), go check out Houzz.com for tons of inspiration pictures. Open a personal folder and start stockpiling pictures of everything you really like. It'll take you days probably.
