Yay for leopard and purple. Seriously, this forum is a great place where people can come together and collaborate on projects. I was scared at first to do the leopard because it seems like there's lots of people who don't like the look of animal print. They don't appear to be here, though!:) So, it's funny because a guy came up and told me that that's the kind of bar that serves appletinis. I laughed and I have to agree. So lets share some! I'm handing everyone an virtual appletini, thanks for your help:) lv r golden- You pinned the look I was going for unbelievably well! Incidentally, the skyline is in San Fransisco I believe. I love the mix of cool and warm colors and in this space, it was hard because of it's size and openness. Considering this is just a concept bar and nightclub, I only really planned for it's look at night time. One day, when I'm a famous designer, I'll have it made:) This design is only going to be judged on the rendering, rather than the design of the space. I don't have a website yet but it's my next stop. So considering your eye for design, do you happen to be a designer as well?

Look at Murray Feiss lamps. I really like their lamps. Lampsplus should have them. A black shade would be cool. Dust would be easier to see on the black but the same dust is on the cream or white shades, you just can't see it as easily. Maybe since you can see it on the black shade you can clean it more often.

Amanda, I think the heart pine will give you enough contrast with your other woods that it would be fine for the floor, if you want a wood floor, and it'll certainly go with the Colonial house. If you want tile, which will be colder, though very easy to care for, consider 1'x2' French pavers. They're a light terra cotta, and very traditional in kitchens. The antique ones are very expensive, but there are new ones of the type being made now. For authentic Colonial, I think a gray slate kind of look would be more on point, but it would make your kitchen look dreary, whereas the light clay look of the French pavers would be cheery and should go with your big brick hulk. :) Even though you've spec'd a lot of wood, with the painted section, and the windows, and the brick fire surround, and the flow into the dining room, I think you have enough relief that you can go a bit wild in the kitchen with the woods and get away with it. Especially with all the different kinds and colors you've chosen, which provide you with contrast and interest. You have the whole warm side of the color wheel (i.e., analogous colors) -- to throw some logic at you. :) Floor: yellow-brown (I'd go natural on them. They'll age to a really nice honey color.) Cabinets: red-brown Island top: dark red-brown Beams: charcoal-brown Hood: orange-brown For hue and brightness contrast you have the silver-gray stainless counters and the white cabinets. You can do window treatments whose main job is to bling up your black hole windows at night. There are slat blinds that have art painted on them, for instance. You could do a lacy shade. Or something baroque and flocked. Shades are pretty inexpensive, and can be changed out when you get tired of them. And they don't get into the soup, and hide pretty well when they're up. You can even do clear vinyl and let your kids paint on them for each season, then wash them off and start over. One of the great things about all of your colorblocking is that you don't really need a lot of bling to make the kitchen lively. Add in the detritus of family life and you're there. Plus, you also have hardware (i.e., jewelry) to choose. You can go simple and demure, in a silvery color to go with the stainless counters, but you could do art glass or wild granite knobs, colored resin bar pulls, Anne At Home theme hardware, or whatever suits your fancy. Some hardware looks dumb in some settings, but I think your kitchen can take a lot of interest without feeling overdone. I mean, how much bling do you want?

@Mama I’m trying to figure out a way to maneuver the pantry actually next to the mini closet that I have on the left right now. But if I had to keep the range hood at 48 inches (not sure if I can make it 42) my two uppers on either side will be 18 inches. This would allow me to center the oven with the island. I also am pretty sure the fridge and island has amply space separating them. Like 45in or more. Here are the current plans. However I am trying to shift pantry next to closet on back left. Shift range I’ve ego be more centered. Then uppers on either side of oven will be 18 inches. 🤷‍♀️
