Looks great!
However - I do like open shelving, but it does sometimes, SOMETIMES, give off a college apartment vibe - can't always look so good, and in this case it can look a bit distracting - I'm not sure how hard it would be but some simple frosted glass on a track could really keep the open look if you'd like, but also a nice amount of privacy, while still seeing the outlines of the stuff behind! You could also paint the backs of the open cabinetry a punch of colour without it being a distraction since it is softened by the frosted glass!

congrats on the new kitchen,
it looks pretty good!

However, the handles look pretty bad, its a minor fix, and your kitchen will look 10x better!

keep them for the tall cabinets, but switch ALL of the ones on the wide and square ones, it's pretty distracting in a bad way, opt for something more simple on those ones like a simple stainless steel pull or peg

@CSC76

Target isn't in Canada, yet, I think they are coming here in 2013.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, the tone of the comments seems to be a lot more positive now, haha

I will make sure to post a before/after pic in about a month


Budget Solution for Parquet-Style Flooring? Good Questions

Oh also,

and I think one of the reasons I would like less of the flooring showing is the doors!

So it is true, as some of you have been suggesting that if I focused my energy on a closet solution (I don't want to paint the doors, I think I would do a curtain), it may help

thanks for the suggestions! AND again, for the record, I do not hate Parquet - it runs everywhere in the apartment and I just didn't want it to be prominent in my room.

And I was not making any assumptions that everyone dislikes Parquet, I don't even dislike it!

Sean here, the question asker

It is real wood.

It's not that I hate them, I just really wanted to mellow them out, I don't want to have too much contrast between the to-be white or light grey walls and the darker floors,

I've been looking at large area rugs in neutral colours, but as I am on a tight budget, I cannot seem to find anything, does anyone have any suggestions? (In Canada by the way...)

Thanks!

Oh, and I am not worried about our landlord....haha
