Here are some ideas in your space to perhaps help you aid you in selecting a style. Not knowing the width between the cabinets nor the ceiling height they are not to scale and I just tossed some up so you can see shapes, etc. based on the discussion I used this metal tone. way to high yes... it's an orb in a finer thin dark bronze metal

I prefer nickel also, but, I also prefer to match the hardware to the brass. I have nickel hardware everywhere, but, in my living room. I have brass in that room, in the light fixture, so there is brass on the closet door that is in the corner by the outside door, and also brass doorknobs. I do think it is a personal preference though, since I do see many mixed metals, and they really do look fine. Brass isnt trendy, its been around forever. I love your light fixture.

I've no idea why they call it "gourmet", probably same reason why they call fairly standard apartments for rent "luxury apartments". It's a set up that I know exists for many years...some people prefer slide-in oven, I'm totally comfortable with countertop stove/built in oven as it means I have to bend less. I also like having separate places for it all as one person can check more the oven, and another, a stove. (well usually it's one person, but I appreciate the possibilty)) It really should be about what's comfortable for you, day to day. It's not a trend-it's an ordinary, a normal variant of kitchen set up. Since it's a non custom build I'd be ready to pay a bit more if it saves me something else. With our remodel we hunted appliances, sales and open box, and the hood, I won it on eBay for 100$. (was hunting a certain model for a long time). But ours is simple stainless steel one installed under the upper cabinets. If it's someting that will go in all at once, and you have less control over it, and no time/ possibilty to do this puzzle-together thing, and whatever they call "gourmet" works for you-I'd just go with it I guess. the picture you posted looks good, nothing trendy about it(except obviously one still would be able to tell when it was installed-but such is fate of 90% of kitchens out there. Maybe more)

Agree, wait. We’ve had several homes on our street sell in the last two years and all of them have required some unexpected outlay in that time frame for the new owners. It’s not fun to find surprises and even less fun when you’ve spent your money on something else. You don’t know what kind of stewards the previous homeowners were. My friend was having a new kitchen and whole new flooring installed. Two weeks before the kitchen was to go in, they noticed water leaking in their dining room and kitchen from the ceiling. Found out the previous owners cheapened out on the roofing and had to have a new roof installed…8K (this all passed inspection when they purchased 3 years ago). The DAY BEFORE the new floor was to be installed, water came running down the wall from a window during a rainstorm. Found out there was NO FLASHING around the windows and the wooden jambs had rotted. That was less than 2k to fix if i remember correctly. They’ll be replacing all windows soon. WAIT
