Since you can't replace your counter tops, you still have some options that should work well for you.

I saw some material at Jo Ann's Fabrics yesterday that could work for your kitchen. The background was seafoam green with chocolate, tan and cream colored circles through-out. It was very nice and had a contemporary feel to it. You could go to the fabric store and find an "inspirational" piece of material to help you tie it all together.

That said, my first thought was to paint the bottom cabinets to match the counter tops, paint the walls white, and then accessorize with red...red appliances, valances, plates, tea towels, etc.

Many things that I disliked initially have turned out to be my best "work" Big Grin . I think the extra creative juices help. Good luck with your kitchen.

Have you thought about painting your seafoam green countertops a different color? It's very easy and a cost effective way of changing up the kitchen.
