IXNAY on the granite for the most part. I'd stick to one cabinet color too. Refine your wish list. When you try to have it all. you will get a lot of "nothing" : )

Have you any inspiration images? The two tone kitchen is more modern than mcm, so give some thought to how mcm you want to be. Also keep in mind that honey maple is what many people are trying to replace.

Ingridele,

I just chose cabinets and quartz for my kitchen update. I live in a mid century FLW apprentice home. I am keeping the footprint except the sink will be moved. The cabinets will be flat panels walnut on the bottom and a cream color on top. I am keeping my floor much to the chagrin of posters on this site. I have slate appliances. The picture I am posting shows 3 quartzs. I choose the middle one because it goes better with my floor. It will be the 4" backsplash as I am going to paint the backsplash for now. Remember the cabinets will be flat panels.

This was a mid century modern complete renovation that we did for a client. They wanted to go more contemporary, since it was a total gut job it was easy to transition. The countertop is a beautiful and dramatic choice if you like black.

White. Hands down. Preferable with a cascade end, like Beth's pic and Carly's fourth pic. White with veining (marble or similar) or a quartz or similar product. Hands. Down.
