I am the same way with kitchens, I love white and yet still like the darker colors too.

I did ours last year and everyone thought we had totally remodeled our kitchen. It helps me ignore our 1970s Formica countertops :)) (At least they're white) And we couldn't afford to put glass in the uppers so I did chicken wire. It's far from my dream kitchen, but it has made it so much more livable. Plus the black hides alot of dirt, LOL!Andrea at Opulent Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047846276519608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-8179246855502856672011-01-04T10:41:31.672-06:002011-01-04T10:41:31.672-06:00What great ideas.

W...I've been doing the same thing all evening. We have made an offer on a new house. In the past I have gravitated to white kitchens. This kitchen is stained with Travertine counters. It is beautiful, but not what I usually go for. I won't be changing it, but was looking for ideas on how to make it more "me". You can see it in my last post, if you'd like. We should know tomorrow, maybe. I've got to keep looking. . .KarenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354372312817808972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201476158505077804.post-12636519195483035172011-01-03T20:56:35.247-06:002011-01-03T20:56:35.247-06:00It was fun to see your ideas notebook pictures.

I LOVE it and get a lot of compliments on the cabinets. I will get around to posting the reno on my blog one day. If I can find some of my old inspiration photos, I'll send them over to you.

I ...I do like the dark cabinets on the first photo. I love the handles. The only thing that worries me about those type of handles is from experience >>> I'm only 5'2" and that type of handle seems to grab my belt loop! LOL. I have made several abrupt stops during turning and/or pulled drawers out a bit! I've been looking at handles similar to the ones in the last photo. <br /><br />Are you going to install task lighting? I sheetrocked my kitchen but paid a guy to come in and do the knock down texture. I had him cut between the ceiling rafters to make an entry to the attic space. My plan is to have task lighting added later, install and exterior exhaust for the stove and then be able to use the attic space for storage. The cut piece just rest down onto a piece of molding. On a poor girl's budget, I go for function over style. =)<br /><br />Best of luck on the reno! And I adore the header you chose for your blog!
