Wish List
handle and pull out conveniently close... a modern version of what we currently have?
nice design, high enough spout to fill containers, easy pull out sprayer
These stainless steel countertops look great with the kind of cabinetry we'll have... We could add a blue or teal or blue green backsplash and it would look great. What is the maintenance like on stainless steel? Perhaps with our stainless fridge, fan and dishwasher, that would be too much stainless, but it leads me to believe that light grey counters (regardless of the surface) might be the ticket. Perhaps light grey on the counters would help in the small/confined space?
grey wood, but not the hard-to-clean laminate type??? Maybe not as effective as acrylic/laminate for balancing, but something to think about? might provide visual break from brown wood in cedar sunroom framing, ceiling, french doors, dining room built-ins... and wood flooring throughout kitchen, dining room and living room. the grey might accommodate a dark countertop and it would complement a dark stone slab in front of fireplace
wood cabinets with medium dark countertop and stainless steel... I'm wondering if (along with wood in living room ceiling, cedar framed front windows and dining room built-ins) this might be too much wood??? This is why I've had thoughts about stainless-charcoal-grey-white combos, leaving the new light-medium wood flooring as the only beautiful wood in the kitchen???
This would look very cool in the kitchen, adjacent to the living room featuring all of the wood... Perhaps a welcome break from wood, contrasting nicely with the light-to-medium wood floor, yet having a color of grey and dark countertop that would complement the slab of stone in front of the fireplace???
more ideas related to my wood-charcoal-white (against light to medium floor) theory...
charcoal grey looks really cool with stainless steel, light-to-medium wood floor and white walls... that would work really great adjacent to white walls, various woods and grey/dark slab in front of fireplace....
stainless cabinet, drawer fronts, etc. contrast nicely with (light to medium) wood floor and could break up any "wood overload", what with all of the other wood in the house... Cabinets/closets facing the entrance, living or dining room could be wood ???
another example of woods + charcoal grey/black looking very nice
this wood and dark counter approach with stainless appliances would look great
considering pine ceiling, cedar framed sun room, mahogany french doors, dining room built-in... and med or dk grey slab in front of fireplace, the kitchen could look really cool with some wood, but also dark grey or black .... are there any white walls in there? Wood, black & white look really good together... ?
medium grey stone in front of fireplace and/or for kitchen counters might work too... Looks good with the wood tones here...
dark flooring with pine ceiling, cedar, etc. and white walls could look pretty nice
other flooring to avoid too much wood....?
good flooring color?
is this kind of flooring more $ or less $ than hardwood flooring... Because we have cedar sun room, pine ceiling, mahogany french doors, built in dining room cabinets, other wood cabinets/closets associated with new kitchen, MIGHT it make design sense to think about floors that are not wood?
possibly good floor color if it works with dining room built-in cabinets?
does this kind of flooring complement bunches of woods - pine ceiling, cedar framed sunroom, french doors, dining room built-in cabinets... ... while still looking cool with white walls and greyish (stone) slabs?
pine ceiling, dark redish brown floor white walls
great example of the cozy look granted this does not have white walls, but it shows the effect of wood ceiling, deep rich wood floor, medium grey fireplace stone. Could even picture this kind of flooring working with dining room built-in cabinets, french doors... a bit of white here and there on walls, above/around fireplace could look nice (but not so Lake Tahoe Retreat-y)?
imagine this light flooring... walls would be white but it shows how light wood flooring could work with pine ceiling, cedar framed sunroom...
really dark floor... complementing french doors, pine ceiling and cedar framed sunroom, stone fireplace slab, etc. would create a cozier effect (rather than a contemporary clean) white walls would help somewhat...
very light floor would go nicely with cedar framed sunroom and pine ceiling... and also work with grey-ish fireplace stone, etc.
imagine current pine ceiling, cedar framed sunroom... white walls and light flooring
imagine with while wall and more windows... if we don't go super light with floor color, another option would be going DARKER... That would contrast nicely with ceiling pine, sunroom cedar, dining room built ins... It would have to be dark enough to look good with the french doors.. But then the stone slab in front of the fireplace and the kitchen counter would probably need to be LIGHTER. The DARK FLOOR option would take us into a COZIER warmer feel (than light floor/dark fireplace stone & countertop approach).
nice example of light floor
nice floor color would work great with all kinds of stone for fireplace, kitchen counter, backsplash... and wood ceiling and sunroom cedar... Would it contrast enough with dining room built-in cabinets?
This kind of light-ish floor could work with... greyish slab in front of fireplace darker counter in kitchen teal (blue-green) back splash tile in kitchen current french doors pine ceiling cedar framed sunroom by going even a tad lighter, could contrast enough with dining rm built in cabinets?
Could TV be wall mounted, then install slab (matching from fireplace area) beneath for cable box, sound bar, etc.?
espresso cabinet, white top, bronze/antique pulls
