[quote=Anonymous]I have a small "midcentury modest" split level home with the living, dining, kitchen all right when you come in the front door. The living room is a very light gray, the dining is a warmer/darker gray, with some black and white accents, and splashes of teal/dark blue/coral including a teal door in the dining room. Hardwoods are a warm oak color but I would like to refinish them when we do the kitchen to tie the rooms together but will probably keep them warm to not go all colorless.

My style leans MCM but with the semi-traditional style of our home and a handful of hand-me-down pieces of furniture, it is probably more eclectic than MCM. The kitchen is straight outta the 80s cherry cabinets with colonial antique brass pulls, speckled Corian countertops, tumbled backsplash tiles with medallions, and off-white floor tiles (pretty sure it's just subfloor underneath, not hardwood). I want to gut the whole kitchen (it's SO unuseable with low-mounted cabinets, a soffit that does nothing but limit the storage space) and need some inspiration for what we should do there. Pretty much everything will need to be redone except the ceiling lights and appliances (we have all stainless that are pretty new so don't want to replace those yet). I don't think we'll do contractor grade finishes but not 100% high end either.

I'm not into the modern farmhouse, industrial farmhouse, whatever looks, and we need upper and lower cabinets because we have no pantry (just one tall cabinet) and it's a pretty small kitchen. I do need more workspace. It's also only got one window, north facing, and we put in recessed lights and will put in under cabinet lighting, but I want to keep it light feeling since it's not a bright room. But I also want some color to make it feel warm and inviting. It's not an eat-in kitchen, and we use the very small dining room for all dining.

Based on my style, can you suggest some kitchen pictures for inspo?[/quote]
