My mom and dad are renovating their kitchen. I told my mom I'd find some pictures of the vision I have for the space.
I think Persian rugs and stainless steel would look pretty awesome.
Their house is quite traditional but my parents appreciate modernism and I think the above photo does a good job of combining the two.
More rugs in kitchens.

What about a farm table instead of an island? But we'd need to add more storage somewhere else if we take away the island that's currently there.
Here's an idea: They have a breakfast nook just off the kitchen. Build a super long table to serve as island AND a table.
This is a pretty neat idea, actually.
Replace some of the upper cupboards with shelves, maybe? It would help add continuity into the breakfast nook?
I like it when kitchens have different coloured main cabinets and islands. The island's pretty nice, too.
They have kind of dated oak cabinets that I think they should paint. I think grey would be quite handsome.
I think they should get a stainless steel island like this:
There may be a part 2 coming soon!
