^^^ Agree totally

Relax about this, it can wait. Later, if you want to update while keeping the cabinets, you can just replace the ceiling light, counter, sink and backsplash, and your kitchen will look great. But wait until you have lived with the kitchen, and also, please hang out on this forum and look at the various photos and ideas until you have a more firm idea of what you like or not.

I wholeheartedly agree with herbflavor and friedajune. Don't stress about this, a clean and functional kitchen.

What colors do YOU like?

LOVE that rounded kitchen entrance. Enjoy the space for a while and let it sing to you. It will. Don't stress. Congrats on the purchase.

Yes just move in and live with it.

If you wait long enough, your cabinets will be back in style!

Move in and live with things for 6 months to see what really bothers you and what doesn’t — you may be surprised by how your perceived priorities are different after living there for a while.

When we bought our current house, we immediately wanted to remodel the original 1954 bathroom before we moved in — it had a blue tub and sinks, a very short but wide weird double vanity, and tile and counters that seemed quite dated.

Meanwhile, the kitchen had been refaced a few years ago and looked reasonable and seemed like it could wait.

Thankfully, we couldn’t get a contractor and permits lined up up in time before moving in, so we didn’t end up starting on the bathroom.

After moving in and living there 6 months, we realized the the kitchen actually had a horribly unfunctional layout, and was the place where we wanted to fix first. We gutted the kitchen, moved all the appliances into a much better work triangle and have a cabinet layout that makes sense.

Now, four years later, we still haven’t done the bathroom — and have no plans to do so — and the short vanity that seemed so weird when we bought the place is actually the perfect height for our small kids.

If we had tried to make those decisions without living there first to see what worked and what did not, we would have ended up in a completely different spot.

HI! If you are looking to get informed on colors I highly recommend Maria Killam . She has a wealth of information (years of blog posts and yes stuff you can buy) and has devised a system to help with neutrals. Enjoy your space!

As others have noted, move in, and do those things you have to do before you put down your furniture, first. If anything. You can stain around your appliances when the time comes. Live with anything cosmetic for awhile. Or, for fun, just change out the drawer and cabinet handles and pulls.

In my last home, I knew immediately I wanted to paint away all the grey. I took time to settle in and decide what rooms would be what color. Over time, probably three years, I painted those rooms.

I knew I wanted to paint my kitchen to be more cheerful (it faced north east, with a steep hill to the east) as it was always dark. I didn't get around to it for a year. (15 years later I decided it still wasn't cheerful enough, and went to a "tequila sunrise" theme -- I should have remodeled but I'd by that point bought the land up here that I eventually built on, and decided not to, as any useful remodel would have bumped out the house and into that hill, costing $$$ I was saving for this house...)

Take your time to decide if you want neutral, bold, something in between. Yes, a darker stain on those kitchen cabs will look good, but take your time to decide -- maybe you'll want to make some non-cosmetic modifications when you've lived there a bit. You don't want to do this twice in a short period of time!!!

Moving is stress... relax! Periodically collect samples but don't decide now.

Enjoy your new digs!

do you mean water on the window ledge? squeegee use or plastic curtain across window. Is this what you are getting at? squeegee use is first defense-they have small ones which would wick the water off after each shower. I don't have a window, but use squeegee on tub ledge/etc. Some say dry off shower walls completely after showers. Just plan a strategy that will work. What is the ledge made of...often the issue is the caulk which creates mold if it stays wet......replacing caulk is a household diy activity. You have a tan bathroom-seems warm in shading..seeking more warmth?? pumpkin colored towels and mats. Intermingle purple textiles with the pumpkin for more vibrancy..is that what you mean?: to be less monochromatic?
