The weird shelves across the windows... why would you do that? It looks odd to me. The odd collection of wood finishes.... The pokey appliance spot that won't fit a kettle. hm... maybe I am a bit of a nitpick?

Hi if you are remodelling yourselves it helps to think of the blocks of colour in large scale as well as the natural and artificial lighting - things will change accordingly. I found some images here on Houzz for both of those samples. In the end, each tone will give you a different feel. Factoring in the design of the kitchen itself.This first kitchen uses 'Bianco Drift' in a traditional style . Whereas this kitchen has 'Frosty Carrina' caesarstone. We have 'Almond Rocca' caesarstone in our bathrooms which is quite yellow - warm. And we have 'Nougat' in our kitchen which is fresh and clean and white. I personally prefer a clean look in my kitchen. What are you drawn to? Regards Jacqueline

Hey guys! It's been a while and we have since moved into a new and bigger home butttt here is what we ended up getting for the wall, a John Martono piece called "Journey To Others". Thanks for all the great advice! Irene
