Nate's New Home-Sweet-Home

My brother just closed on a house in Augusta, GA, where he is stationed for the next four years in the Navy. The house is perfect for a rehab project, he bought the house for a great price and it is an area that is being rejuvenated and near the new August National Golf Course (just ranked as number 5 in ESPN's America's 100 most important sports venues!). We're all really excited for Nate and can't wait to help him on his new big project.
Currently, the house is deemed "unlivable" so his first steps are just to get the house in living condition. He has some big plans for the project and has been busy creating renderings on Google's SketchUp. His first step is to move the existing, outdated kitchen to where the current dining room is located, just off the carport. He has drawn up the cabinet layout and asked for opinion on wall colors, cabinets, & countertops. Below are some of the inspirational images I am suggesting and some edits to his rendering:

Congratulations and good luck, Nate!

Steph, thanks so much for all your help!

I really like the maple wall/base cabinets with the cherry island. And I love the blue/gray backsplash with that combo, what is your suggestion for the wall color?

Thanks again!
