This post caught my eye because I am just now looking into bringing some white into my stained wood cabinet kitchen, circa 2002 with a black island and black hood accents. Others may feel like black is back. So, while the white kitchen with wood may be worn out and overdone to YOU, it's a great kitchen to me.

And, I really don't know how to react to your pickleball reference. What do you mean? Do you even play pickleball? Because we love it here, and have a great pickleball family in our community that has united a group of unlikely friends that celebrated a huge Friendsgiving. Those are the kind of people that I want to invite over to my new kitchen for snacks and fun.

Clearly I need to be interviewing my next kitchen designer a bit more thoroughly, because obviously those attitudes show up and I would be appalled if I hired one that espoused your views and then posted a picture of my kitchen as her work that she was sick of.....

I really like the designer @jan moyer here that states " Do the kitchen you love, and the one that works for you. ........your house, and your budget." Isn't that the best idea for all of us? And if it happens to be white mixed with natural wood and gold jewelry, then more power to her.

@gra8fulgal "I am grateful every day that we get to live here." Isn't that a wonderful feeling?! Your kitchen is stunning. Wonderful job and congrats!

@gr8fulgal your kitchen is stunning.

No. Because it will not exist in porcelain. : )

You are asking for a plain ivory large format porcelain tile.

Either use what you've chosen for walls and floor, or fall in love with something else because you will be fighting what the marketplace provides.

Find a PORCELAIN tile you like for both walls and floor, and dare we ask what the shower plan is? What the bath plan looks like? What the inspo is?

If they're solid oak, you'd hardly need to tear them out. Sand them down and stain them a color you prefer.
