Need kitchen help
Comments (84)A few ideas since in the past I have owned older homes and my new one has the character of an old one. Your arch is wonderful but they failed to do great millwork or any millwork. I would have 3.5 to 4 inch moulding for the arch. A style that you would see in a shingle home in boston or the hamptons. Also I woul have plywood on either side of your refrigerator pull the cabinet above it out even with the frig. Separate the cabinet above frig witj 4 inch wood and start the cabinet. Put crown moulding above the cabinet. Where the plywood sides are use fluted moulding on the sides of frig all the eay up to the crown.it will look built in I did this on my old kitchen and had hidden jinges done on my old cabinets and new knbs and painted them white with granite light colored counyers and the kitchen sold the place in 4 months also had 2 columns put in . Marble is not easy to care for but if you really want it try danby marble it is less porus and is very strong. Calcutta is weak I have it in my bathroom but would never have it in a kitchen. If you saw my new kitchen you would love it with danby and I had a cabinet maker do it with my design. You can do it just think things out . Over the sink do a plain arch and you could apply a design or leave plain.good luck !...See MoreWhat would YOU do with this Kitchen? Help me decide!

Comments (6)Well, it is what it is, and it appears to be new-ish. No sense in throwing the dishes out with the dishwater. I'd add three stub walls to give some visual enclosure to the space--next to the fridge, at the other end of the counter, and where the trash can is now (I don't think side panels will be tall enough to be convincing). Raise or add to the wall cabinets. Put a soffit over the wall cabinets (and maybe bring it out a bit to hold small recessed lights). Replace the right-most wall cabinet with one that is the same width as the lower cabinet beneath it (if you can still get them); what's there looks like a mistake. And get that trash can out of sight! Yuck. P.S. I'd also get rid of the track lights. I bet you are always working in a shadow anyway because they are above and behind you. And they are lighting cabinets that aren't very interesting. I'd get LED under-cabinet lights and rely on them for most light when I'm working, and I'd drop 2 or 3 lights over the island (not bright ones, maybe put them on a dimmer). You don't really need much of a dedicated general light source in an open are like that, but you do need task lighting. I find that most LED puck lights are too directional, making little pools of light surrounded by dark areas (it would be even worse for you, with black countertops). Get LED strip lights that go the full width of the cabinets. Much better, even light, and the thin strips are easy to tuck under the cabinets....See MoreKitchen help - stuck with tile and cabinets, paint help, please!
Comments (13)Thanks, I really am not at all wedded to a goldish color - I didn't paint this originally, and for a number of reasons I want it to feel REALLY different. I think dark countertops will definitely help but those darn walls have me stuck, ha! Another consideration is that tones that are really cool seem to bring out the slight yellowing in the cabinets. Please excuse my dog's butt. I am not currently in the house so don't have great pics right now, can get more later. This one is from the breakfast nook, the area I showed earlier would be if you went around the corner on the right. So there are not big open walls....See Moreljptwt7
