Planning a kitchen update and hoping you can provide some suggestions. I have seen individual things I like but am having a hard time getting everything to work together. While the color of the cabinets isn't my favorite, they are in great shape and of good quality so I don't plan to change them. I thought perhaps darker counters would complement the oak cabinets. That leaves me wondering what to do with the flooring (planning ceramic tile because rest of the house is hardwood) and backsplash. I am having the toughest issue color-wise. Since we are on a budget, it will need to be done in phases. Oh, I also thought about having the kitchen island painted black to add some contrast. What do you think?
