Would you be open to painting the brick?

Dulux Whisper White was our choice and I think it would suit your finishes too

Hi jennydaun, I have attached a few photos. I agree with painting your brick bench. I personally like the dark blue, that would anchor your kitchen, then you could either paint the rest of your kitchen cupboards cream, or replace with shaker style as in photo. I believe this combo

paint your brick white..

change knobs to handles

paint your cabinets greyish green something like this..

I have seen where they put a sheet of glass over the surface of the brick ( Spalsh back) and it looks great. Light and reflections seem to bounce of it. Where at present the bricks appear to suck the light out of the room. May be worth considering ????

Love the pic at top Belinda 2478, Jennydaun's kitchen would look so fresh and light with the grey colour of the trim with the whitewashed brick. Then could bring in navy blue or even black accents?

I agree with the suggestions for painting the bricks, however I notice your bricks have a 'raked' mortar line, if you could fill this in before painting it will give a smoother look to your walls, avoiding busy shadow lines all over it.

I love the idea of dark bottoms ( blue or grey) and light ( white /light grey) tops

Good luck with your decision

Good luck Jenny and look forward to your photos!

I would paint all the brick everywhere warm white...satin for occasional cleaning. That done I think everything else will look OK because the colours are natural. New doorknobs are always good. You could if you wanted paint all the bench and cupboards white or rich cream as well....MUCH more spacious effect. there is a product you put on first and wait and paint...Hardware will knw...something like PSo

Fabulous Jenny

Looks lovely, I am so glad you kept that brick wall, it makes the space so warm. Well done.
