Absolutely amazing! This is probably one of the most beautiful spaces featured here in awhile. It makes me sorely miss my old mill loft. This is the perfect mix of industrial and contemporary, of texture, color and warmth. What a great space to boot!

Some nice drop pendants(maybe four or five evenly spaced).

A classic tiled backsplash for depth/texture and contrast.

Replace the slider with some french doors.

Hi Erin-
I do feel your pain....hmmm.... The trick is to make choices that are timeless. I do like the blue in the adjoining room. It's got a nice mid-century feel. Perhaps choose a green of the same value for the cabinets. Do some hand-distressing of the cabinets, paint, distress some more, and then do a clear varnish or rub in a wax to give them a vintage look. I would also take down the upper cabinets (at least the ones on the oven side) and replace with open shelving. Replace that ceiling fixture with an old (rewired) schoolhouse style pendant(s). The floor needs help too. Maybe look into marmoleum. (They have great colors and it's a green product). Good luck! and have fun!
