I think they are more like the Longchamp of kitchens.

Meh, most rentals and development homes have them.


Exactly go to a “nice” rental and find a white kitchen with some chick carrying a coach bag. She thinks she’s made it, but she hasn’t.

That is beautiful. I would change the lights, but other than that, it is very warm and welcoming.

My kitchen looks somewhat like that. Would be more trendy in white but it’s a very relaxing space. It doesn’t have that chilly OR feeling. Like a hospital.


This beautiful! Warm and inviting, not stark and drab.

My kitchen looks like this. Oh well I hope someone likes it when we sell!


Beautiful?? Those dark countertops are ugly, ugly, ugly.

What color are your countertops?

For resale, I think tea or light blue with the terra cotta and nearly pink cabinets would be too much for a kitchen. Most people want neutral so the don't get tired of it. As to what you should do, 3 of the 4 have said to change it in some way. Only one said do nothing. The terra cotta backsplash might be making it look outdated. I would go to a tile store and get someone to help you pick out something that will make your cabinets and countertops look more neutral.


Thanks! They are light maple oak from the 2004 era. The countertops are granite that is not dark, more light greige.

I am not a fan. We have white countertops, and I absolutely hate them. I could not imagine the whole thing being white.

You are very strange.

It’s just a color.

I like some, I don't like others. All about the quality, finishes, natural light, and rest of the home.

I recognize people are mostly just getting off being catty, but sure most adults posting know any sweeping statements on this front are a bit silly.

I'm not a fan of white kitchens. They are boring and often look like kitchens seen in quick flips. But that's just my opinion.
