That's a big fridge for no prep space.  

Personally, I would never paint a wall gray.  It's a "cold" color.  I would wilt in a neutral environment.

The kitchen is dry sage (a greyed-down green).

Thank you.  It has enough black it reads as a cold gray.

I'd prefer to see some color on the walls.

     Me too but not gray.  So sick of it.  Every builder and flipper in America uses it.  To me it just screams boring.

I actually like the kitchen, but not those chairs.  To me that print is very jarring.  Something a bit less busy would be better, IMO.

@jubilant - And I hear you about the dark green carpeting throughout.  Same here.  I actually still like it, but it's got to go.  Our cats have pretty well destroyed it and I want to have it all replaced with something like the floor in that kitchen.  Beautiful.

@Venezia   We still have the green carpet in two of the bedrooms.  It has worn very well.  When we put the pine ceiling in the greatroom..... between the ceiling and the green carpeting...... it made the room so dark.  It made my off-white walls literally look gray!  I must say, however, that it served us well for almost 25 yrs!

We did put "wood look" tile in the master bedroom, kitchen, and bathrooms.  While I love it in the kitchen and bathrooms, we are not liking it in the bedroom.  It's pretty but It is so hard for DH and I to get up and down from that hard floor.  I thought dust mopping would be easier than running the sweeper under the bed.  Not so!  At least, on the carpet,  the dust bunnies stayed in place till I could get to them. 

The hard floors are  very hard on the knees.  This is something I hadn't considered so thought I would give you a heads up.  Of course, we are in our 70's, so that makes a difference, too.  When you don't redecorate for lots of years in-between, some of these things sales people just don't mention.  It may be that they are young and don't consider age.  In our case, we really should have investigated more than we did.  This may not be a problem for you but thought I would mention it....just in case.

@jubilant - I'm just planning to have the carpeting replaced in the downstairs.  I'll keep the carpeting in the bedrooms upstairs (they're a soft green carpet; not the dark green I had everywhere else).

Thanks for the info!  (I dread having such a big project done though, so I keep putting it off.)

Too much of a contrast they needed to carry the color throughout the room in a solid

I love everything about it except the fabric on the chairs and that the stove is "enclosed."  I need an open space next to the stove.

@Bri369 - I hadn't noticed that about the stove. That's really bad design.  Like an accident waiting to happen, if you're having to move things from the stove to the island behind you.

@jubilant   What you said makes sense to just reupholster the chairs; however, that kitchen is horrible, especially the hanging lights.
