Reaching out to Houzz readers for advice about our kitchen remodel. Gutted the 60 year old cabinets & floor, considering these lightly used cabinets. Reason we bought them in is they are solid wood but now I'm getting cold feet. Now the color looks washed out, a little old fashioned, unexciting. I'm trying to make them work but not getting much inspiration. Any ideas about countertop, backsplash, paint, lighting would be appreciated! We have 3 boys ages 9,12,15y and we cook daily. Wanted to incorporate durable, practical (and beautiful!) design ideas. The only plan so far is to buy stainless steel appliances. My husband prefers modern, I'm traditional. Would love your ideas to merge all of this! Thanks in advance. PS: I'm also posting an inspiration picture.
