Open layouts - white kitchens
For my next home I have my heart set on a light kitchen (white/off white/cream) but it will be an open layout. LR/DR/kitchen combo. The rest of the rooms will have dark wood furniture, and im not sure if it will flow. Anyone have a light kitchen with an open floor plan with pics they can share. Looking for some inspiration! THANKS

Re: Open layouts - white kitchens
I have that situation in our great room (eat in kitchen open to the family room), kitchen cabinets are white, island countertop is white stone and perimeter countertop is soapstone.
Our kitchen table and chairs are dark walnut stain, current couches are dark brown leather and I plan to get a dark walnut tv console...I think it works really nice, the white of the kitchen brightens it up. I wouldn't want dark wood throughout the whole space.

Re: Open layouts - white kitchens
I love my kitchen...its pretty big and open. It opens up right into our living room. It isn't all white, but a white/blue combo:
These pics are from the day we moved in:
I'm debating getting an island. There's enough space, but the thing is I LOVE my space!

My kitchen opens to our family room and kitchen eat in area. I have light cabinets with a dark Island. I also have dark wood floors in the family room and my kitchen table is a dark wood. Actually all flows nicely.

Hope that helps.
I also Have dark brown couches In front of the TV and fireplace in the family room.

Re: Open layouts - white kitchens
Jenhos...I remember the pictures of your before kitchen. You did an amazing job. I never loved white(ish) type cabinets until I saw your kitchen, now I want them but my husband isn't convinced so we will go with the praline w/mocha highlights which we both like.
Your home is gorgeous. Fantastic job.
Do you have a drawer type microwave? do you like it?

No draw micro. I heard bad reviews although we have friends that love theirs.
