Paper Countertops

Can I get some inspiration for a color scheme for my kitchen?

My kitchen is a blank slate - would appreciate suggestions for a combination of bright colors. It has stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets dark against the white tile counters and-white porcelain floor. There is a sliding glass door and the window over the sink. I do not want wallpaper, but going to paint the walls, and I am open to a border of wallpaper. I am a single professional woman, 25 with a large dog. I do not want it to look like my mother lives here! Appreciate your ideas! And I'll be doing the same job.

Larger stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot has a kit that will show different combinations color. It really helps to be able to see different colors on the wall and how well they do or do not go together. Also the paint mfg. have brochures showing various color combinations and they are great ideas to start. As for what's inside, that's really what you like, I've seen kitchens painted in different colors so if you like, its in good luck.
