Yeah. My first reaction was, "That room is COLD. (Meaning WHITE.)" Too much white. Need to soften it up with more neutral colors - tan, beige, even a very soft yellow.

But I LOVE the size.  :cheersmate:

Mrs E and I don't agree on much, but on the size of the kitchen we're in absolute accord. We wind up having to buy big-assed homes because the freaking kitchens are so damned small in the smaller houses.

I like kitchens so big I can get lost in them. And you can't ever have too many cabinets.

I love that one too.  I just had some work done in my kitchen.  White walls and cabinets w/black hardware and dark granite counter tops.  But it's not qute big enough for an island, unless I take down the wall to the service porch and lose the pantry.

I love everything about that kitchen, down to the color of the walls. I'm going to have something very similar some day. Mark my words.

I re-did my 13 year old blue formica countertops last weekend with a Rust-o-leum Countertop Restoration kit.  The kit was about $150 and I had to buy maybe another $25 bucks of rollers, brushes, paint trays, etc. But it worked out well; they now look like this (in charcoal):



Not too difficult to do -- you will need to do a lot of sanding though!

If you have hardwood floors, this stuff is amazing:  Minwax Reviver



I did this to my floors in the dining room, office and bedroom and it works really well.  It's almost as if you've sanded and re-finished them.  Really easy to use!  I used 2 coats though.
