The Lake House Renovation - Decisions Decisions!

So, we need to decide the color of our cabinets.  Like, today.  They could take 6 weeks to get in.

I'm down to deciding between these two cabinet colors.  Really, the choice is whether or not to have an entirely white kitchen or have a kitchen with white wall cabinets and gray, dark brown, or black cabinets on the island.


This whole time, my inspiration kitchen has been...


But, the more I thought about it, the more I worried that the gray was just too dark and too modern for our house.  Also, our dining room table and mirror will be next to our kitchen.  It has a lot of silver in it, so adding gray cabinets might be too much.

Here's our dining room set that will be next to the kitchen...



I still love elements of the inspiration kitchen.  I love the island, the fixtures, and the arabesque backsplash.  I also love the decorative pieces that are attached to the cabinets on both sides of the cooktop.

So, I've started looking all over Houzz for more options that would achieve the overall look without having the gray.









I think I've decided to go with white for all the cabinets, then have silvery accents.  I want the countertops to be an icy-silver look.  


What will look best in this space and what should we do with this beam?

    1. UGH! Me neither! I'm thinking it might be painted white.
