I think part of the problem is that it is all too much. It looks like someone found ideas on pinterest and tried to cram them all in one kitchen. The range should have been the star of the show but that range wall is so busy it distracts from the beautiful range. Sometimes more is just more.

What is the deal with the beam on the ceiling being dark brown and then a portion is light brown?

In the end if you are happy with your kitchen and it functions well for you that is all that matters. Everyone has different tastes.

Definitely blend them in since they’re not something to be highlighted.

Someone once sent me this photo she took on a walk. LOL, definitely creative!
