| We need Eye Candy so badly to come on this thread and share some pics! I guess I’ve been living under a rock but can’t picture any of the styles you are describing. I’m going to go look for her. |

There was a beautiful kitchen in the Eye Candy thread that reminded me of modern Tuscan. Let me see if I can find it.
As for gray being passe, I'm seeing navy blue and dark green cabinets more and more. I personally love those colors, but they aren't to everyone's taste. It's generally a smarter move to stick with gray/white/natural cabinets and tile if you're decorating to sell in order to appeal to a wider audience. If you're decorating to live in for years to come, go wild. |

My bad, it was in this retro kitchen thread. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/879112.page

What styles are you hoping to see? I haven't followed the thread, I'm sorry! What you'd see in an American home that was decorated as "Tuscan" is pretty different from what you'd see is Tuscany. Real estate listings are always helpful in taking a peek inside high end homes. Case in point, here's the kitchen in a $12 million Euro home in Tuscany. Not much to get excited about. The living spaces and patios are gorgeous, though. 
$11 million Euros 
Anyway, let me know the styles you want to see and I'll see what I can find. I don't speak Italian, but am good in Spanish and can get by in French. Happy to search out inspiration from other countries. |

Agree. Colonial kitchen only. This includes no running water. Authentic! |

Here's an example of a way to marry tumbled stone with clean, modern lines. You could switch out the brick for travertine and use oiled bronze for the fixtures and hardware.

| Why does it even matter to you? My whole house is being done in old world luxury! I don’t care what anyone thinks. It is our forever home so I guess that is important. But let me tell you, everyone that walks through the reno is in awe of how beautiful it’s coming out. And they are all men which means even more to me. One contractor even took photos to show his wife. I think most women are still secretly in love with old world vs this cold office look. I want a home that looks inviting/comfortable rather than one that looks like your name is gonna be called soon for a root canal. |
