Are you keeping the floor and appliances?

"Ideas on the floor welcome" above. I seem to recall that the weird grill thing was going, but unsure about the other appliances.

There are a lot of ways to go. Have you seen any off-white kitchens that you loved?

If you can figure out some other feature that you really like -- light counters or dark; tile floors or wood -- then we can try to help you put the rest together within your budget.

you haven't given any idea as to what style you want. all you've picked is 'off white shaker cabinets'. There must be 5000 countertops you could pick, and just as many floor tiles. Forget the backsplash until everything is installed.

don't you have any saved pictures of kitchens you like?

I mean, do you want us to post kitchen pictures for you? Surely that's something you could do. Then you could post the picture of something you like and we could point you in the direction of what to look for.

to start you off, here are some creamy white paint color. get a few samples and just try them out on your current cabs to get an idea of how the color looks in your home

go to your local stone yard and see what kind of slabs they carry. pick out something you like.

here's a soapstone w/creamy white cabs in more of a farmhouse style

leathered black granite, creamy cabs, woo floors

and your basic white shaker, Alaska White granite, and plain old creamy white subways, oak floor

same shaker cabs, but a black slate (could be porcelain too) herringbone floor, marble counters open shelving, gray pantry

two tone cabs that are in the same layout as what you have. open shelves to the left with calacatta marble tile all around the window.

TajMajal quartzite countertops and a limestone tile floor.

two toned navy/white, glass doors on the uppers

what I would recommend for you is to take your cabs all the way up the ceiling. you could do 36 or 42" uppers, but have them topped w/ 'boxes' (like shown above, or the two below. look how they added on to the uppers)

you can keep them open to display whatever, or put doors on them and have extra storage.

Are you changing the footprint of the kitchen? What kind of budget are you working with?

Off the top of my head: Medium oak floors, Coconut cabinets, recycled glass or terrazzo countertops, and pale blue crackle subway tiles for backsplash.

I appreciate all your comments. I was away but I am back trying to re-do my kitchen. I found a couple of colors I like: coconut and painted silk. I prefer those to white cabinets because want to keep warm colors in the kitchen. I have hardwood floors in light oak or pine (not sure which) so I'm debating between porcelain or vinyl with the tile look. After looking at a lot of pictures, I am not sure if the cabinet colors I like go well with black appliances. Is there a way to soften the look? Or would it be better just to stay with stained lighter color cabinets?

For countertop I will go with granite because quartz is more expensive and, I understand, prone to damage if something hot is placed on it.

I'm also having a hard time choosing the cabinet brand. I can't afford high-end cabinets but want decent quality. I have quotes on Diamond, Waypoint, RTA and Wellborn. Unfortunately, half of the reviews on most of them are awful. I am anxious to get this going but I'm having a tough time making decisions.

Thanks again for your help!!
