Kitchen/Dinning room remodel ideas

[MeanTA]

I am less then 3 months from doing my Kitchen/Dinning room remodel. My houses setup is a open concept. With kitchen opened to dinning.

The area is 13x38 with vaulted ceiling. With a fireplace in dinning room. The kitchen a open galley setup 13 widex8 deep. Opened on stove side facing dinning area

Im looking at your thoughts on my ideas for remodel.

RTA Cabinets:
Beaumont Collection
27071
27072
Mocha Shaker Collection:
27073
27074

Formica brand Counter:
Lapidus Brown
27075
River Gold
27076
Magma Black
27077

Fireplace:
27078

The kitchen will have GE stainless appliances. And a laminate wood floor in kitchen/dinning are. And a stone backsplash.

Thoughts? I know photos ain't the best. But I am torn. I would go with granite tops but don't want to over build for house price point. But also want to be happy with it for while still living here. Plus laminate tops have come a long way nowadays.

My vote is for Beaumont cabinets and Lapidus Brown counter tops. Fireplace looks good, too.

No these ain't my kitchen. A galley is where all the cabinets run on opposite sides of the kitchen only

We only have a stainless dishwasher. Was going to do rest when I did kitchen remodel 4 years ago. But then we had to replace our whole HVAC, then found our chimney leaking into our bedroom and rotting our outer wall. So had to replace whole corner of house amd remodel bedroom. Then had a kid and had to build his room. Then the water heater needed replaced. Then other bathroom needed redone..... So kitchen to longer then planed lol
