Thanks very much to everyone who commented. You were all helpful and don't worry we do have 'some kind of a plan' (and definitely a sense of humor). And don't worry we have a tiny wee kitchen on the 4th floor.The problem is I thought this would be the fun bit - there are a few kitchens I've seen that I've thought wow! such a Boffi but they're just not right for us or the space. The floor is going to be reclaimed Tobacco Barn planks which are quite light in color with loads of knots and flaws which will be filled with black grout. The walls will be whit(ish) painted brick (treated with ideas from AT) it's just the actual look of the cabinets and the movable center piece that I'm stuck on. I don't want too many different woods....nothing I've seen has made me think - that's it!
It's funny that Patrick mentioned British publications as this Brownstone renovation reminds me so much of Islington town house ones. I will get friends to send me mags from home as soon as possible. I just don't want to mess up at this point.....
