I agree proportions are wrong if that's actual door. Looks nice though otherwise. I disagree with matching cabinets to flooring -- too boring and probably too dark with this cabinet. I am a firm believer in tile in the kitchen. Too many leaky water dispensers in refrigerators and leaky dishwashers. But if you did chose wood, I would go with a lighter wood than cabinets. Hey, search photos on Houzz to get more ideas.

I've been told real cherry wood does get darker in time and that most of what people call cherry wood is actually a reference to the stain color on another underlying wood, like birch or alder. Just saying.

I Place kraftmaid cherry cabinet in a house 17 years ago with light green tile floor and they still look great today. I don' t like to see same wood cabinet and floor. It make the room look dark. Also wood floors in the kitchen will cause you problem soon or later. too many chances of water damage.

the whole railing wood thing is too imposing looking, maybe if it gets painted the same color, it will look more fitting. I thought it was a pallet leaning up against the porch upon first glance. I like the idea of extending the porch the entire width of the window though and putting stair railing on right side of stairs OR stair railing meeting railing that encloses the whole porch, then it wouldn't die right into the window as it originally did.

HI -- I am sorry but this does not look right for the house . I would have rather seen a landing right across with stairs fully across the front . Love the chairs ! Are you still working on this or is this finished . Or are you painting it the same color as house . I think it is too full and filled in . Too much like a pallet .

If you use a driftwood color stain now, it will eventually weather to a soft gray,
