Kitchen is small, windowless and galley. We are opening the wall into the living/dining room and adding a counter-height, open-plan peninsula (no break bar to conserve space) - this is a small unit. Cabinets will be slightly off-white with modified shaker doors - most of the uppers are glass-fronted.. Floors are Mexican Satillo tile which we will have professionally re-finished at the end of the renovation. We have ordered GE slate appliances - slide-in range, over-range Micro, counter-depth French door refrig, D/W - (which we still have the option to change to SS). There are tall utility & pantry cabinet units on each side at the far end - with solid doors. One wall: from back to front: utility, refrig, cabinet, sink, cabinet, corner unit (into peninsula) - all glass-front uppers (except over fridge). Opposite wall: Pantry, cabinet, range, cabinet - new opening into kitchen. Questions: Slate appliances too dark? What color quartz? Back-splash? Do we try to reference Satillo tile floor? Should the glass-fronted upper cabinets that flank the range/micro be solid doors instead? Lighting plan (besides under cabinet)? Think overall space too small for over peninsula drops - just recessed cans. Appreciate all advice ASAP!!
