I will be keeping the same cabinets and appliances. Everything else will be changed. I have been searching many web sites for ideas but I seem to jump around on what I like. Do I start with the floor and design around the color. Or do I start with the counter top.or maybe the walls. And how will I know this will all pull together in the end. It’s a lot of money and I want to be sure I like the end result. How much do designers charge. Should I hire a designer. I’m so overwhelmed. I’ve done other rooms and loved the end result and I’d like the satisfaction of doing this myself.

right away being an interior designer i’d say to hire one .but if you have faith in your skills and as you say have completed other rooms successfully then go for it. one thing i always insist my clients do is to keep a pictorial log print pictures from the internet or clip pictures from magazines highlighting kitchens that you love -which features you need to have and what you’d like to have.often times you’ll see a consistency in colors and materials.most home depot/Lowe’s stores offer free design service do a little research there too.take your time and don’t feel pressured or compromised into picking something that’s not right for you. follow your instincts and you’ll be fine
Since you are keeping the cabinets, start at the top & work down.
Ceiling
Electrical
Walls
Floor
Good luck.
