hey lauribet - thank you! Yes, I think they go equally well with warm and cool tones. I'd describe Semonia as a a warmer grey. We have a lot of wood trim throughout our house (woohoo 70s decor haha). I wanted something modern but wouldn't look weird with all the wood, and think Semonia works really well. We love these floors -- have had them for 1.5 years now and they look good as new, even with our toddler smashing pots and pans on them. Good luck with your remodel! how fun!

Thank you - and I agree, not enough galley kitchens are shown on Houzz. My husband bakes scones every week - he spoils me. Between the peninsula top and the area to the left of the sink, we have plenty of room for baking and meal-making. We used to have large family gatherings and having enough space and countertop area were never a problem. We just couldn't have more than two people working in the kitchen at the same time. which is what I prefer, anyway. I wish I had had my 30" oven back then instead of the 27" one that came with the house. My sister liked our galley kitchen and how it functions so well, that she transformed her square kitchen into a galley. The coffee and tea cabinets that come down to the countertop are perfect for our uses. I don't miss the counter space that had been there and can still use the toaster and butter the toast on the tea side. On the coffee side, next to the cooktop, we keep condiments that are used frequently - salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. When cooking there is plenty of space for the utensils we need - and keep in a lower pull-out cabinet. I forgot to include a photo of the shelved, closet-like pantry which is to the left of the refrigerator. Without that, there wouldn't be enough storage. The ONLY thing I would do differently is have round legs on the end of the peninsula. We have banged our knees too many times on the square edges of the legs!

Looks great! Happy Holidays!

I see now. You have two threads going on the same topic. The ”after” pics in the second thread show a definite refresh. But, still no vent hood over the gas range?
