Whenever I look at pictures posted they are blurry.
I am thinking of green cabinets, yep. Maybe even the trendy duo tones, with white for top and green for bottom cabinets. The white or ivory lightens the room. I am trying to keep a minimum of surface colors. I would like to have have no more than 4. In an ideal world the ceiling, the upper cabinets, the backsplash, and the counter top is all the same color. Different textures of course, but one color or close-color. The floor will be, I hope, a medium oack to match the original floor in the living room.
Considering they replaced saltillo tile in the kitchen (!), they're doubly cursed in my view. There are so many flooring options now, most of them much more appealing than the faux barn floor look. Real reclaimed barn floors would probably work in some buildings--like vacation cabins--but they clearly don't work here.
yes! There are so many choices of flooring! Same with tile. If you go to a tile store There are scads of gorgeous tile. Even the limited selection of a big box store give some interesting options. But all of the tile backsplashes I see now are one of two things: subway tile Which I actually like because it’s classic, or that dominant brown tile that comes in small rectangles. I don’t like that stuff mainly because it’s all over the place.
I like what I like and trends be damned. I think that not going with what you like because it is currently trendy is just as bad as going with something because it is trendy. Either way, you are letting trends dictate your choices.
I love simple classic white kitchens, and that would be a pretty appropriate style for our 1920s cottage. I don't watch TV and my only shelter magazine is the Old House Journal, so I am not terribly aware of the latest trends.
My kitchen cupboards are a deep black-brown, quality cabinets. Do they ever show the dust on a sunny day! Had a medium golden oak in my last house and loved its elegance. An old farmhouse kitchen needed a lot of work. We painted the cupboards white and bright yellow and the walls had large 8" sunflowers on a white background wallpaper. That was my favourite colour combo. I always choose white appliances.

I was in the grocery store yesterday and this whole 5 door section with white tape around it came off the wall at the top and started to topple on me when I opened the door. I got it pushed back and found a manager since the stocker was totally unhelpful. The manager actually said "I dont know what to do." I suggested caution tape and a barrier since it was so dangerous.
I was concerned so walked back to the area and photographed it. All they had done was replace the white tape and you can see the man doing it. Contacted the company and they are to call me.
I am going to go back to day and if it is not secure, I am going to file an OSHA complaint.
Imagine if the door unit had fallen on me, a child, a disabled person in a wheeled chair?
The refrigerator case, the entire thing, fell forward!!!?? Whaaaaaaaat? That is scary. I’m glad you are following up on this situation. I’ll bet it’s been like that for a while now.
