If you haven't already done so, I suggest you post this on the "Discussions" side of the Kitchens Forum. This is the "Gallery" where people usually post threads for the Finished Kitchen Blog or similar, usually not for discussions. The Discussions side is also much busier! I also suggest you check out the "Read Me" thread for newcomers to Kitchens (or old-timers that need more information on something!) BTW...you probably are not getting responses to your thread emailed to you even though you checked the box that says "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you." This is b/c you do not have the email option turned on in your profile. Again, see the "Read Me" thread for more information (linked below). Scroll down to the post w/the subject "Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process" Here is a link that might be useful: Read Me If You're New To GW Kitchens!

What colour would you suggest painting our kitchen table/chairs? Eventually we would like to paint the cupboards off-white and replace the tiles with hardwood but have to start with small steps (but open to advice)! We would also love advice on affordable window treatments and light fixture. Thanks so much!

Definitely something white with that table otherwise it’s not only going to be too much wood, it’ll be too dark. The white/off white will be great. Same thing with lighting above table...no black metal imo it’ll be too dark. I’d stick with nickel/silver/steel or even gold/brass

Celery - Thank you so much super great price too. Beverly - thanks for taking the time to find these all unique and modern and look like they would be great w/my wood floors. Patricia - thank you good idea
