Well, I have white walls and beige trim and white floor.....dark wood cabinets....I rather like colors in some rooms but prefer white in kitchens and baths. I like the lightness in color and the ability to hang many different colored pictures, towels etc. I also have an area run in my kitchen, which I love.

I would go neutral with the floors and cabinets and do what you really want with the walls....since you can always repaint/paper the walls.

I have a friend who just redid her kitchen floor with a beige ceramic tile and loves it. It looks great.....and is easy to keep clean....it is sorta a speckled beige green.....doesn't show the dirt.

One must also think about re-sale-ability too, when it comes to floors etc. You may be staying in the house forever....or not.....

Keep us posted on your progress. I know it can be exhausting having repair/remodeling people in your home for weeks on end!

Ugh!
