Paint My Kitchen

We purchased this home a few months ago. This is the realtor picture of my kitchen. I want to bring some life into this beige cube. All of my appliances are stainless steel and black. Eventually, I would like to remodel the entire kitchen, but for now I just want to paint the walls. Ron likes contemporary, sleek, modern, and clutter-free designs. I'm fine with this design as long as it's not cold in feeling. I want people to feel welcome and enjoy spending time in the kitchen. That doorway you see is the dining room, which contains this table. This is the dining room, which is an open room with the living room. The wallpaper has to go. I am not a fan of wallpaper. And turning around you are in the living room with it's beautiful bay window. It shares the same floor space as the dining room. The front door is to the left. And here you are looking at the foyer from within the living room. To the right is the front door, you see the stairs to upstairs and the coat closet. And this is the breakfast nook and family room as seen from the kitchen. The breakfast nook has a sliding glass door and on the opposite wall is a pantry. The family room has two skylights, a sliding glass door and a picture window. Lots of light which I love. My furniture is a tanish leather, but I plan on buying new furniture this year. And lastly, this is the foyer that empties into the kitchen. Yes, that is a sliding glass door in the breakfast nook. I've already changed out the ceiling fixture to one that matches the breakfast nook pendant. To the left is the dining room and to the right is the family room. Your virtual tour of my downstairs is complete. We have an alarm system and an attack cat so please don't break in. :) So now you know all the problems with this kitchen. Four doorways and a window. It's not a huge space and I would like to keep it light and airy. The entire downstairs is open to every room. Remember Ron likes clean and contemporary. Now who is up for the design challenge? If your design passes the Ron test and I choose it, I will feature it here on the WebSorceress Cooks. *All designs submitted to the WebSorceress Cooks become property of the WebSorceress Cooks.
