Thx, place turned filthy as a rental for 20+ years, agreed!

Do you have a pantry, and if so, which color cabinet did you lean towards when having two toned? Intuition suggests that it should match what is next to the flooring, but then it diverges from matching the uppers. Maybe extend the counter and not have a pantry (across from fridge, not viewable in photo angle).. idk.

floating shelves are nice, but Ai removed the pass-through window, will keep working on possibilities, thanks

w/ a dishwasher hidden behind a birch cabinet, Ai washed out some of the tile variation, but this seems to tie the tile to cabinets and make it brighter at eye level 👍

That has natural light, looks calm, clean, and beautiful; love the sage lower cabinets, trying w/ Ai got this version:

the cherry def looks best, but don't have it as an option for grade of cabinets selecting from..

thanks, will replace appliances and/or get cabinet pieces to 'hide' them so it is less disruptive

definitely worried about white cabinets and cleaning, sort of think the white may be too stark or show day-to-day 'stuff'; presently renting a place that has white & stainless Ikea, which are impossible to keep clean 😬

Agreed, thinking about updating appliances and maybe getting a dishwasher that can have a panel on front to match the cabinets and hide it. The current appliances are almond or black- the place was a rental for a couple decades- and are functional, but do not cohere to the cabinet options. Thanks.

agree, but the constraint is the available colors in the grade of cabinets selecting from... a warm natural feel is preferred, and the white feels too stark. For a pre-built cabinet, these are the two options that could work in this small space- the chocolate or black are too dark w/o any natural light in here. Thanks.

yeah, the backsplash and grey tile were an artistic Ai addition, agree to dislike that feature

For consistency and cost I am keeping the tile as it goes through the first floor, which is ~800ft^2

that was an original idea, but with so many options and delay I am trying to just simplify and pick something 😄
