FInally, light colored kitchens in the desert

Don't get me wrong. I love the look of med-dark stained knotty alderwood cabinets, some shade of brown speckled granite, and earth-toned paints. However, almost every home built within the last 8 years in Mesquite, NV looks like this. Today I previewed the recently decorated new home models at Del Webb's Sun City Mesquite. I am in love! I love the light gray paint and the light granite with  waves of color found in white carerra marble. The sun entering the room just bounces off them making for a really bright and airy kitchen. These homes look so cheery! I can hardly wait to show them to my clients. Here is a look at one section of a kitchen. I need to go back tomorrow, in the morning, as the late afternoon sun was casting shadows. What do you think of these colors for desert living?
