I wouldn't mind the design. I like the dark colors I have in my house so if it were that color, I could go with that. But I like my new kitchen just fine as it is!
Angel- good luck with the remodel! That's a big project but bet you will be glad to have it finally completed after 4 years! AC- looks like you have a very spacious kitchen- love the open feeling. We tried to get that in this new house. Also love the pic.'s of your kitchen, Reba!
Though- white wouldn't work for us with two mostly-black, double-coated dogs.
we have new appliances since we un-expectedly had to buy them all when we moved here- previous owners took all of the appliances, including washer and dryer. The first week here we had the dog's freezers <though the dogs were staying with another Rottie-savvy friend who is a breeder> and also we had small cooler.
Oh- we had a the microwave we bought the day before we actually did move in.
We had left the old microwave at the other house because to try to make it more sell-able, we'd listed the microwave <and those other appliances> in the inclusions for the buyer.
So the first week we did a lot of microwave stuff and went out to eat.
someday I'd like to have granite countertops. Our kitchen is light cream with blue highlights and this "Country French" accent thing with the strip of blue wallpaper along the tops of the walls at the ceiling, and blue curtains. The wallpaper part shows scenes of sunflowers and pies and flowers- kitchen-related scenes.
Our gas oven is stainless steel...black stove. Fridge and microwave are white. We based the criteria for the appliances on the Consumer Reports recommendations and also on price and what was available when we were looking. So it's not so coordinated but still works out - the white appliances are all grouped together and a black toaster oven ended up next to the black stove.
we have wood laminate floor, I think. Floor, cabinets, wooden banister and trim going up to loft, kitchen table and chairs are all light oak-colored. I'm not sure if I'd like it darker or not but with the blue theme it probably wouldn't go as nicely.
whatdidyousay! I do like that picture of the blue and cream Shaker kitchen, but am not personally sure about that style for myself. I can see what you like it though.

That's how we did the backsplash for our neighbor. We had granite for the counter top, and the whole wall space from the counter to the cabinets was tiled backsplash. We took a sample of the granite to the store and found a mosaic that included a tile that looked just like the granite counter.

Black and white look good together .

when we were looking at houses one of them had a lot of IKEA stuff in it.
whatdidyousay! yeah I guess that household color scheme can look good together
my sister-in-law and her partner built their rural home on land purchased from sister's parents. The parents had several acres. They were so lucky they were able to build it from the beginning and so have choices to pick out everything. Would you ever liked to build a home or have someone build for you from new?
The kitchen in the house we moved from was very small. It <barely> fit two adults and one Rottweiler. At one time we had three dogs and we also on occasion dog-sat someone's Corgi and her elderly Rottie. This person has been a co-breeder of some of our dogs and has the a brother of my youngest Rottie; she travels and competes a lot and so when we both lived closer to each other, sometimes when she was traveling, we'd watch the Corgi who wasn't competing, and her oldest Rott, another female.
That old kitchen also had tile flooring with the blue, dimply designs on it and it was very hard to clean- the patterns on the floor picked up and held dirt and dog hair.
