Comments (1)How is the decorative glass cabinet lighting coming along? Did you install them already? I have a white strip of soft white LED lights in my white / glass cabinets that I'm quite happy with....See MoreInstalling Tape Lights under cabinets and in upper glass cabinets
Comments (5)Look at Outwater Plastics, specifically their lighting. Here's a link: http://www.outwatercatalogs.com/lg_display.cfm/page/20/catalog/Master_Catalog_Vol_42. Copy and paste into your browser if it doesn't display as a link. In addition to tape LEDs, they have various aluminum channel for mounting tapes, including at an angle so the undercabinet lights can "wash" the backsplash. The biggest obstacle you may face in a remodel is having to use LEDs powered by a 12 or 24-volt transformer. Then, where do you hide the transformer? That, more than the installation itself, can be the major headache. I'd suggest on top of the cabinet(s), if accessible. If not, then possibly in an adjacent cabinet (if available), hidden behind wood doors. Outwater also has vertical display lights to illuminate a specific shelf or shelves. Switching lights on and off can also be a problem. I always try to use line voltage LEDs where possible.

Comments (7)i don't think it looks cheap, but how much SS do u want to look at? aluminum & SS look very similar. the first pic is your kitchen, more or less, you have quite a few of SS elements., do u want more. if it doesn't bother you, then go for it, if it does, then pass. no wrong choice, what do love?? i think your first question is the most relevant and only u can answer that....See MoreMy all wood kitchen needs some glass cabinet inserts.

Comments (44)Is your backsplash tile white or a pale green? I think @mdln's mockup is striking - the green is really nice with your wood. But after seeing your pendants up close I really like them so would keep them. I really like the stools too but reupholstering your stools in a green and adding a rug with green in it might be nice. Then paint the tray ceiling a green from the new upholstery/rug. Back to the original question - I would not change those cabinets to add glass. The mockups above indicate it will look choppy and off kilter, not symmetrical, and like an afterthought that was just stuck in there because it was a new trend. I think it might ruin the look of your cabinets - which look beautiful right now - and kitchen....See MoreDasha
