Another idea would be to tile the entire bay area going to the ceiling in a color. thin glass tile would give a texture contrast and add some sparkle! Then frame around the same tile under the range hood in a crispy white to compliment the cabinets. You can pick up that color in a center piece on the island. For example a colored glass bowl. I would love to see a pendant dropped down over the island to add another lighting layer. Either 2 or 3 small or one larger pendant. The recessed light over the sink looks close to the window form the photo angle. That is another opportunity to add some vertical dimension and another type of light to the room. Looks like you could use some tasking light in the room. Recessed cans can be converted to pendants. They make a kit to do so. Beautiful so far!

Beautiful kitchen! I think the current paint color is much too warm for the cool colors of your kitchen, so I think painting is a must. Would you be willing to choose a new color you could carry into the living room - that would be the best option? Then, new Roman shades (much less yellow and probably not floral) and you're done. Gorgeous kitchen! Oh, I would not tile above that window. A new paint color is all you need.

I like the idea of adding a drop light of some kind over the island; it would add some drama to the room, possibly a splash of color, and would bring lighting closer to the table for sitting. Is there a can light directly over it already? You could simply switch to one hanging light. If you didn't love it, remove and return! I personally don't think you need anymore molding on the cabinets. There is a lot going on in the room and your lighter colors have really cleaned it up and lightened it, so no need to add more visual "clutter" so to speak. Again, just my opinion. I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions but at the end of the day, it's about what YOU love and can live with every day. You have really made an amazing transition. It is a great space. Enjoy it!!

I'm just about wrapping up my kitchen and I'm looking for opinions on what to do on my final two walls. Here are the pictures The first picture I was intending on doing two glass shelves with SS brackets. Should I be adding splashes of color with art instead? On the second, I was thinking of a magnetic knife bar on the left, in the middle a rail to hold cooking utensils and a small shelf on the right for oils. Alternatively I could do 2 of these rails instead then just hang everything from this rail oils could go in this What are your thoughts? I'm a little burnt out from all this designing so I want to ensure everything turns out amazing!
