katayounissari's ideas
I don't really like this furniture, but I like the layout - the sectional with one or two chairs, the ottoman in the center, the lighter molding around the fireplace, I really like the table behind the couch (both it's placement and this particular piece). I still don't like the TV over the fireplace.
This is another nice mix of light and dark. I'm someone who really likes everything put away, especially when the kitchen is open to the living area so I'm not as much a fan of the glass cabinets - although I know Kalei likes glass cabinets. I like the high up glass cabinets here, but not the larger ones or so many. I also like that there's lots of storage and the recessed lighting.
I like the mix of light and dark in this room and also like the smaller hood. It's too much white though, would love some color in the backsplash - in our old house we had sea foam colored sea glass tiles for backsplash with recycled glass tiles from Bedrock that were a lovely accent. I'll look for a picture to send you
I like these smaller light fixtures, also like the drawer microwave because our current microwave is high up and I find I really like that. I also don't know that we need to spend the money on an oversized or fancy stove. I also like that there's storage in the island. I don't like the open (pine colored) shelves so much nor do I like the chairs for the island - I prefer highback chairs that can support the back. I know that I've selected kitchens with large fan hoods, but I also don't necessarily like that - simple, less cluttered looks suit me best. We currently have a kitchen fan that is hidden and only surfaces when we use it - which is nice, but it doesn't work very well!
I like an island without seating and a table nearby, but I don't think Kalei does :-)
