How About Counter Top Preference too with your choice?

I am remodeling an entire house. I love interior decorating I do it for fun and alwasy buy and fix up houses and sell after a couple years. I am not hiring anyone its too enjoyable for me. Just seeing what you'd like to share. I am going for a baroque scrolling type decor for adjoining Family room which you can see from Kitchen. I am excited but overwhelmed with decisions. Would love to hear what others chose for themselves. Thanks.

Answer 1

my color is pink

Answer 2

Cherry cabinets are definitely my favorite, because of the richness they have.  Granite counter tops in a darker color would also be on the top of my list for a dream kitchen.  Good luck on your remodeling!  It does sound like fun!

Answer 3

My ideal kitchen would be in the Tuscan 'style'.  I toss between warm ivory and deep mahagony.  Black iron for the hardware.  Country style sink in brushed stainless.  High goose neck faucet with a single handle.  Tile back splash behind the sink/counter area.  Brushed steel behind the stove.  Fridge to be faux covered to match the cabinets.  Counters to be a natural stone look, Dupont has nice products for this.

Floors would be wood or tile only.

I don't like microwaves that are above the stove or below the counter.  When I 'nuke things the containers usually get hot and I wouldn't want to risk dropping it on my head or the floor.  One that is "garaged" on a counter to allow for lateral movement is best.

Thanks for the reason to dream - one day I'll get it!!

Good Luck!  I'm currently teaching my 4 year old that girls who use power tools are cool !!!  I'm right there with you on the do it yourself boost.

Answer 4

I picked the color of my current cabinets a medium stained oak.  I don't care for the light/bare wood look, and really dislike the painted wood.

I thought I would like the floor tiles.  They look nice enough, but without basements where I live, they are too cold in the winter.  I have actually covered them with laminate flooring.  A shade darker than my cabinets, & I love it. If you do tile anywhere, install the under floor heating. That is the only way I would ever consider it again.

What kind of baroque decor are you doing?  I did a search on it and had all kinds of options, french baroque, italian, modern, english, and spanish baroque decor.  Wish I could do this, it sounds like so much fun, lots of work, but fun.

Answer 5

Hickory, ivory, slate and marble.
