[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, it’s not a “transitional.” That’s not a thing. Transitioning from what to what? That’s just a word Home Depot made up to describe a broad category of limited ornamentation. Which is fine I mean all of these terms are made up in some sense. But it won’t be enough for you to be able to make consistent design choices. [/quote]

This is not my home but a recently sold home in my neighborhood and a similar model to my home. It's colonial-ish but it's not strictly colonial by a classic definition. This is also a pretty typical example of the type of kitchen remodels my area is seeing. This is basically the wood flooring I have too. Should I just go with something like this? Like I said, I'm not trying to win any design awards. When people enter my home, I just want it to look properly and reasonably maintained for the price point. That is all.

I'm honestly not that concerned about resale. By the time we sell, even the updates we do will be 10+ years old. That said, I just don't want it to look quickly dated in 2 years.

This is definitely a colonial. It’s a 90’s McMansion colonial. Is that “bad?” I mean, it’s a tough age for housing. We’ll feel the same way about black window “craftsman” BS soon enough. It’s also probably a really practical and pleasant house to live in with a family.

The mismatched cabinet profiles really don’t work for me and yes, I do think the shaker perimeter cabinets are out of place and will look more dated later than something with a profile more like the island. No, it’s not a big deal. And right now since people are running from the 90’s McMansion vibe, it might be more popular for resale even if a snob like me thinks it’s mismatched.

For resale probably the much bigger problem for that kitchen is the island range. People really hate that.

Anyway don’t stress about this too much. Use the design people at the cabinet and counter places. They’ll help you. It’ll be fine. [/quote]
