I'm thinking sequins.

Purple ones.

ahh brightpearl, how nice of you to offer to help sticking all these sequins on my kitchen doors

IKEA doesn't have bamboo so that's not an option.. would be cool though. they have a bamboo floor which i like very much. weathered grey.. hadn't thought about that.. hmmmm.....

gaaah! i'll take a picture of my kitchen/living room tonight when my camera's batteries are charged.. thanks for the ideas guys

my kitchen:

note the horrid dishwasher door panel. that's not stainless steel.. it's grey foil. and it's coming off

and yes i have to clean everything up

^^looks pretty organized to me

but you haven't seen my kitchen! a perennial wreck

agree with you that shiny-white would probably scratch - what's the reason you're replacing the doors? are they old and broken, or do you not like them any more?

your kitchen is pretty small so you're right, you do want to stay with light colors - a light wood (IKEA birch veneer?) wouldn't darken the room that much. do you have kitties or dogs that might scratch it up?

Maybe a chalky weathered white?

You could do a lot with door pulls if you decide to keep the fronts.

Too bad the glass won't work. That would be so cool and airy.
