I just bought a new home - love the floor plan but not the kitchen. The previous owners have put granite floors, stone tiles for countertop, maple cabinets and white appliances. The ganite is black with brown spots like pattern - it is similar to the photos posted in the previous discussion named "Kitchens I have designed". The countertop is light brown with brown grout and the maple cabinets are the light colored kind. If you can imagine it - nothing goes together in the kitchen.
I am not sure if I want to change the granite floors as that extends to the family room (open plan). Currently the walls are beige and I am planning on changing that to brown (not very dark but dark). What else should I change in the kitchen to make it look look beautiful? I am looking around in the forum and see very talented and creative people here - so, I am hoping to get some opinions about this. Please do let me know. I really appreciate it!
Thank you!

Well Leo, It sounds like an umm...interesting room! First of all I'm not real big on tile countertops or white appliances so..... wow, I'd almost have to see a pic of the whole room including the style of lighting you're using!
it probably the easiest to paint the walls AND cabinets. Changing the cabinet hardware might also update the look. As I am in the lighting business I of course have to mention that updating your lighting plan will be important.
