I'm leaning towards a lightly-retro themed kitchen... something sunny and cheerful. I'm thinking about lemon yellow walls, black counter tops, bright white cabinets with glass pulls, and I'm still pondering over flooring possibilities. The photo above is one of the "Rate My Space" HGTV website remodels. If this was mine, the backsplash area would be yellow. I adore the clock.
This is the refrigerator I am lusting after. The "Big Chill" - and it would fit beautifully in my kitchen! This will involve much overtime and much patience to achieve.
More yellow, black, and white loveliness. Not crazy about yellow on the cabinetry, but I love the interplay of these colors. Instead of black and white wallpaper, I'm thinking about black and white curtains on the kitchen window.
The fun in decorating is finding accent pieces that pop. I'd like to find a bright yellow pitcher to hold my wooden spoons and utensils.
A picture of an actual retro kitchen when it wasn't retro! Just looking at the interplay of colors, seeing what could still work today.
More appliance silliness!
Another possibility - yellow and green. Pretty here, but probably not for me as I've already got black appliances and am planning on that big black Big Chill... I think the black yellow and white will be great in our space.Great thing about dreaming, it doesn't cost a thing!

Weird. I just painted my little kitchen a light yellow. I am not normally a yellow girl. It still has warm wooden cabinets and a blue counter top.
That sounds sweet! The word "normal" is never usually uttered in the same sentence with my name, so I'm pretty sure everyone will think yellow is a step up for me... as opposed to, say, walls completely covered in magazine photo shoots of heavy metal guitarists. Ha!
