We are moving to a new home in Charlotte. We have been looking at furniture. Here's my question. We have the white cabinets which I really like. The furniture we are looking at is more of a cottage yellow with wood table tops. At first I was thinking white with the wood tops but then thought add variety. Now I'm just not sure. If I did this right there will be a photo attached. What are your thoughts?

Here's a photo of the fabric for our chair and sofa if that helps get an idea.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!

You have chosen tropical and that is fun to do. Here is a photo of our first house here with a mingling of white and other woods. I would call it beachy/cottagy. I like what you have chosen.

I like white cabinets a lot, and the furniture color/style choice you show looks great.

Too often, people make everything match the kitchen cabinetry exactly and it can look too sterile and uninviting if all white. The furniture you show looks friendly and inviting.

At neighborhood parties etc. people murmur to each other if the place looks all white and sterile and antiseptic, saying "..are we allowed to touch anything??".

At our age, we should buy for comfort first then style if it fits the comfort line.

Gracie, was your first house a "Begonia/Sunflower"? Looks very similar to the LR, DR, entry of that floor plan. Love what you did with it!

I like the Mix. The blonde furniture is warm looking. I have white cabinets too but I chose all white furniture with tropical colors. I think most anything goes with white. Enjoy shopping for just the right pieces.

We have just a CYV with white cabinets. For color, we put wood floors 5" planks in the kitchen, DR and foyers. The dinette and bar stools are brown metal with the color coming from the fabric. The LR is three pieces all beige leather. The MBR we have dark wood in the Ernest Hemingway style and the guest BR is white tropical style furniture. We have tan carpeting in the BR's and LR. The walls are painted a light seabreeze blue, that was done by Investment Painters. The backsplash is white subway tile with a blue line halfway down. The area rug came from Overstock.com, the chandelier came from Home Depot.

I love decorating pictures. These pictures are so lovely. I like what you have chosen John.W. It is warm and welcoming and casual and just right. I love the wood floor and the color of the wall and the RUG....looks like a page out of a magazine.

This is beautiful and practical/comfortable. Hardwood or wood laminate flooring in the kitchen is great!

It was a Camellia/Gardenia. I love that floorplan.

John, I love what you did with your home!!! I'm hoping to get some wood flooring in, but that will have to wait for awhile.
