Remodelling the Kitchen
I am looking for some advice for remodelling my kitchen. My walls are chocolate brown, I have cherry hardwood flooring in the dining room and the kitchen flooring is a greyish black with brown flecks in the tile (which I love!). However, my countertops, backsplash and cupboards are hideous - my cupboards are taupe with a brown wooden lip at the bottom. I was thinking about painting the cupboard doors white and the wooden lip and the outside of the cupboard black, then painting the tile backsplash white with every third tile black. I am not sure what to do with the countertop, whether to paint it or replace it. I'm considering painting it white, but am unsure. Please advise me if this is a bad idea, or if you have any other ideas, I would love to hear them.
