They removed the original countertop (grrrr), but it is still that color in that example above. It is that CRAPPY faux wood formica. UGH. Which might be tolerable if I could put that metal around the edges to just fake the look.

It is a great illustration of "acceptable" 1950's options for kichen cabinet colors - including natural wood, mixed with color.

Our kitchen colors are beautiful (we think)- tone on tone aquamarine with the darker color on some of the bottom cabinets. Having the little deeper color really makes the kitchen much more interesting. Adding the splash of red that we have done w/ fridge & dishwasher really sets everything off. Down the road we will have to decide how to go w/ new floor & cabinet top. Nancy Pam- You have answered a question that we have had.
