Hi, Mrs. Jonk. I agree with Desertsteph that it sounds like a pretty decent space. I used to have a pot rack and really liked it. I'd think I'd semi-ignore the appliance colors, though, in making my other choices. Semi meaning that if you decide you need to change anything to make your favorite choices work, let it be the appliances. Draw up your design leaving them blank and see what you think, but do NOT change your expensive, permanent counter choice because of them. Appliances are comparatively temporary even if purchased new, but these days of Craig's List and other similar services, they can also be easily sold and inexpensively replaced as soon as you feel like it. My problem with having a bunch of appliances in strongly contrasting colors, especially the elephant in the kitchen, the fridge, is that they're the shapes they are and in the positions they are strictly because of utility. NEVER what and where an artist would place items in a composition. We're used to visually making excuses for them, so we can exclaim sincerely over "beautiful" kitchens without wincing over THAT thing THERE, but particularly good looking kitchens always manage to maximize their pluses as best possible (such as stove duded up to suggest a hearth or lacquered aubergine to celebrate its culinary importance) and minimize their negatives (hiding fridge bulk in a wall of cabinetry, putting it or perhaps a clutter of small appliances out of line of sight from the doorway, adding a heavy cabinet on another wall to balance visual weight, etc.).

This situation is likely to require significant elecrical expertise. Randomly connecting wires can create a potentially hazardous situation. You may need to conduct tests using a multimeter to determine which wires provide what function. If you don't have any experience in that area, I suggest you get a copy of Wiring Simplified from your public library (or buy it at a bookstore or Home Depot store). Study the introductory section on basic electrical circuits especially well. Then you'll be in better shape to tackle this problem. If that seems like too much effort for one small fan installation (which would be understandable), then maybe it's time to call in a pro.

Okay y'all! A follow up post. We finished painting the kitchen a few weeks ago....I put it off a while by saving it for last. We ended up painting it Dunn Edwards Golden Retriever. We are really happy with it!

So after about 12+ hours of searching for the same thing I ran into this thread. I am this close to just going with a tan with no lights and installing recessed lights because I simply will not install a fan with yellow lighting that I know I will hate. For those who are still searching, I found one fan from Lucci Air that has a replaceable LED light. https://www.wayfair.com/lighting/pdp/lucci-air-52-3-blade-standard-ceiling-fan-with-remote-control-and-light-kit-included-lcar1107.html
