    Maple units
    Dark flecky worktops
    Beige wall tiles
    Buttermilk walls
    Beigey mottled floor tiles
    Brushed stainless steel sink/taps/cooker/hob/hood ( bad idea.... hard to keep fingerprint and smudge-free!)

    I've got various bits and pieces (canisters etc) in T G Green's "Cornish Blue" stripe, and the blinds are that same shade of blue with the off-white piping.

    Your kitchen looks really good with the worktop and sink, van. Well Done :)

    I can't wait to see my aunt's one, she's just finished hers with the one pound walnut doors.

    What a lovely kitchen Van :)

    Just in the process of getting mine refitted.

    Oak units, granite worktops, grey slate effect flooring. Just choosing tiles - so any input welcome :D

    Thinking of cream walls and dark red blinds as all downstairs cream walls/ curtains/ blinds with either cream carpets or beech laminate plus dark red sofas and accessories. The house is not big, so I like the idea of taking the colour scheme throughout downstairs.

    Again, any suggestions welcome :)

    Mine currently only exists in my head but...

    white painted doors with oak tops
    big grey US fridge/ freezer which set the tone for pale warm grey walls (little greene paint colour whisper)
    Purple as an accent colour with a purple glass splash back and purple sparkly flooring

    Ohh I like the idea of grey and purple :cool:

    I am currently looking at Matt Beige units - might put it with the light grey walls and black worktops.

    Prudent - I too have a small house and am trying to keep the same theme throughout. I am even going to run the same floor through the kitchen and into the dining room. But dining room has an oak fireplace with black tiles that I cant seem to envisage going with anything. I dont want to get rid of it though as it isnt that old.

    Van - I like the sage green cupboards but they look more grey in the picture? Are they or is that just the photo?

    Mine is still at the drawing board stages but so far:

    White gloss shaker style units, dark laminate worktops, white wall tiles and slate floor (grey and ochres). These are the units:

    I've had slate floor in my last 3 kitchens (I move house a lot :-( ) and though I love the look of it its hard, cold and shows all the marks so am going for a change this time

    Thanks. It's the photo (or maybe your monitor?). They are definitely green in person ;)

    This is how my kitchen looked when I moved in...here's the (almost) after.

    I've painted the walls a pale sage green now and have pink touches (not many!!).
  • Did you just repaint your units? It looks so much better with the doors white.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
