Did you start remodeling yet. If you post this question on the discussion section you should get some responses. At the bottom of this gallery page there is a place that says switch to discussion or conversations. Just click on discussion and start a new post. Good luck.

I like the white with them, and that leaves your accessories open to all kinds of color choices. If you want color, yellow, pear to lime green, blue -- actually, there are probably shades of just about any color that could work with grey. Is there a color you like to have around you or create the mood you want for your kitchen? If not, why not do a white that reflects the undertones and then get the other elements in place. You may love the calmness of it -- like the IKEA photo and probably the display, but if not, paint is easy enough to change if you find that is too plain.

You poor thing. This sounds like you have so many issues facing a remodel, that you are simply going to have to have professional help in order to even contemplate a working kitchen. You need a professional evaluation of your slab. You need a really good plumber who can help you plan for a location for a vent. If those beams need to stay there, then you'll need a drywaller to cover up the exposed beam. If the cracks are minor and not expected to get any worse (cause of the cracks has been mitigated), then an excellent flooring contractor can help you decide how to handle a floor. But a floor has to be very, very level before almost all types of flooring are laid. I'm guessing that you are on a significant budget? Why don't you measure out your room carefully, on graph paper or using a program, down to the inch or half-inch. Also show a drawing of how the rooms adjoining the kitchen (e.g. the whole downstairs) are laid out. You are not ready to order cabinets of any kind at this point, you have a lot of planning to do. The folks over on the kitchen forum will be a BIG help to you. Be sure and explain what your budget is. Getting ahead of ourselves here: forget the RTA cabinets, and look at IKEA. IKEA has top of the line Blum hardware, easy to plan/build/use sturdy cabinets. They have a sale twice a year (might have just started) and you get even a better deal. What's nice is their Kitchen Planner which lets you see a 3D image of whatever you design easily in the program, and then it prices it out for you. You really can't go wrong with those cabinets. If the doors aren't perfect for you, you can get great replacement doors specifically for Ikea cabs at Scherr's or SemiHandmade. But again, you need to have layout issues and construction issues solved first.

I also have similar cabinets I chose to keep and work with because they are real wood and in great condition and quite frankly I didn’t want to spend $15k on new cabinets that aren‘t even real wood. . As I’m picking out new items I’m finding that they are really growing on me. Makes me feel like my Mom, she loves her oak! I’m doing a lighter beige colored counter and farmhouse sink.
