So these are the appliances that were actually purchased...as you can see we went with a higher-end microhood and a very high-end slide-in stove. We still got them for less than $2000, tax and all. We are very, very happy with our choices! Again, we got them during friends and family night, so we got 25% off all of them and we started thinking what good are granite countertops and tile backsplashes if you have mediocre appliances? So since we went high-end on the appliances...we had to back-off a bit in other areas.
We are still going to paint the cabinets bisque to match the appliances with an antique glaze and add rope molding to the doors to add depth. The countertops are Wilsonart Premium Laminate color called Polish Mosaic in a high gloss finish, we matched it to the granite Uba Tuba color when we were in Lowes last weekend. Instead of tile we will probably go with these copper colored backsplash sheets. We are still planning on the same hardware, which we found on ebay and the faucet is from Overstock. The sink is shown in white, but we of course would get it in bisque from Lowes or Home Depot. Actually, we had not even considered granite countertops until we saw the deal at Lowes, which is still a really great one, but now we just don't have it. I did really want a pretty tile backsplash, but didn't know what color we would do with the countertops, but seeing all three together...I REALLY like the copper sheets. I may even like them better then the tile and Clark really likes it too. Actually, he likes the green cabinets & taupe countertops (really I do too), but I feel like we will get more out of the bisque (it won't go out of style as quickly-it's a timeless, traditional style). Hopefully, soon I will have before and after pics...but at the rate the state is going with their refunds...it won't be as soon as I would like I'm sure :(

Awesome! I like the changes you made, even the copper sheets for the back splash. I love those...we were going to put some of them (not in copper, but another color) in at the condo if we'd stayed there longer. They're easy to clean and will add a pop of shine! Good choice, it will be easy to take those out and put in tile later down the road if you ever want to, but I think your choices will look great all together!
we almost used those copper sheets on a project. I like them a lot! :) I think it will look great. The lighter color will really open up that space and make it feel bigger. :)
We are anxiously awaiting our state refund too. That is MY project money! :) Our federal went to bills and a few small purchases for my business. It was GONE in a heartbeat. *sigh*
