[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend has an MCM house and when they re-did the kitchen, they did white Ikea cabinets, white counter around the perimeter, large butcher block island in the middle, a beautiful plywood/birch banquet in the seating area with white table, and re-finished the wood floor in a medium/light tone.  It might actually be the natural wood tone with sealer on it.

I love the color combo, which is pretty much the same as your linked pictures of plywood cabinets with white.  I think I would prefer my friend's look to the plywood cabinets, but I don't hate the plywood cabinets and think it could look nice if you did it.  I think you just have to be careful to make sure it looks finished/polished and not rough.[/quote]

Sounds nice - what did they do for the backsplash and upper cabinets or wall area?  I am concerned about too much white and was thinking of mixing white and light wood/plywood cabinets.  [/quote]

Their kitchen is in a corner with two walls and the rest is open to the eating and living area.  One kitchen wall is white upper cabinets (flat fronts, no pulls) and one wall is open shelving and a window, then to the left of that is the sliding patio door and eating area.  The kitchen backsplash is a geometric tile like the last picture below, but with a gray grout.

I cant find a picture that combines the color scheme and the modern features.  The overall effect is something like this, but more modern with the flat-front cabinets and more geometric tile.  Also, their butcher block goes down the two short sides of the island and extends for seating on one long side:

Or kind of like this, but again, flat cabinets and open shelving instead of glass:

The tile pattern they used is this, but with gray grout:
