Those will work! I like the metal - it’s “brushed” looking.

Thank you @Boxerpal for the compliment on my kitchen.

I kind of like exposed hinges, so I would leave them as is. Also is that one of your original pulls in photo #1? It looks absolutely fine so that's something else I would leave as is--just reinstall them when the doors go back up.

Are you painting the island as well?

Ok, was just a suggestion--you do you.

It’s a nice looking pull. Just be aware those “sticking out sides” will catch clothing.

They are so close in style and color that I don't think they will have much of an impact.

one on on the left.

Love your space

I wouldn't be concerned about the gray and white chairs, and certainly wouldn't design the living room area around them. If they don't work with the palette you go with, then either sell them or use them in another room.

Thanks - I just thought it would all be too busy with the patterned chairs AND all the family photos. That is the look I was thinking the fourth attachment.

I like the simplicity and calmness here with arranging and spacing.

It's not painted yet. I'll post an update once it is:)!

Here's my updated faux built ins

@Jen Kelly we decided to pair santa ceilia with black galaxy and turned out beautiful. Our kitchen is in bisque so it needed a pop of color. I'm going to change over to Alabaster eventually b/c i want a more creamy white rather than antique white. Still work to do in here

What did you end up doing?
