Dh and I are buying a house and at first our intention was to gut the kitchen and start from scratch, new cabinets, counter tops, appliances... everything.
Well Dh wants a new couch when we move but we don't have it in the budget for both so I decided to just reface the kitchen that's there. The picture below was as close as I could find to what it will look like. Its currently laminate cabinets but will will be painting them brown and getting new doors.
Here's my question, before I was planning on getting all black appliances, now I'm thinking stainless steel. We will be able to afford them now but I'm not sure if its worth the price jump. The cabinet hardware will be brushed nickel along with the new faucet.
Any pros/cons to either? Which do you think looks better in the pic below (please forgive me for the picture, I found it on this website and colored the wall to be similar to what we will paint and then tried to add a stainless stove for comparison.)
Thanks!
