I love that look too - it's bright, clean and classic without being stark. Think about a warm white as it'll pick up warmth of Creme Brulee caesarstone. Perhaps look at Dulux Antique White. Remember too if there's a colour that matches your caesarstone and you like it you can do it in half or quarter strength so that it tones but isnt the same. If you can only get small paint chip samples grab a bunch of them and tape them together and put them in the space your cabinets will be with a sample of the caesarstone - paint colours change depending upon light. Good luck.

Just to confirm, by combination washer/dryer, you mean one machine performs both functions, correct? Some years ago, we bought one for our apartment. It was a good brand. It did not dry clothes properly, took forever, many drying cycles, and never dried clothes completely, so I cannot recommend.

your dilemma is difficult to understand without more information and would be so much easier if we had the original whole house plan with dimensions and showing front and back entry, and views, size and position of prop0sed pool and all existing windows and doors, any walls doors or windows that can't be changed and direction of north...as well as any special requests for the kitchen

I do like the design but wonder how easy or difficult the postie would find accessing it, but that is not a design issue. Agree with bigreader' observations. It goes well with the house.
