In the stages of designing the kitchen for our new home. It is a galley style kitchen. The dining area extends past the kitchen area and I don’t want to put any type of bar for eating on the ends of the cabinets. I feel this will only close the area. Since the kitchen/eating and greatroom are an open floor plan, I will be using hardwood through this entire area. I am leaning toward the french cream with a glaze. It will be a small kitchen. So my cabinets will have to be designed to utilize space very efficiently. I will not be able have many upper wall cabinets, and I would like to use glass doors on a few doors to “dress-up” the look.
If you can suggest a website to design a kitchen, that would be great. (not the hgtv one, it doesn’t help me)
Countertop colors??? I will probably use a granite.

I am looking for more modern looking styles of kitchen cutains and am just not having any luck.. I have searched yahoo and google and all I seem to find are country looking styles. I want sleek tab tops with an elegant modern feel. If anyone knows websites to check out please help Thanks!
