When remodeling a kitchen, should you tile under the cabinets and appliances?

I am tearing out all of the cabinets and removing all of the appliances from the room regardless. I have seen people set the cabinets on the subfloor and tile up to them as well as tile underneath before setting the cabinets. Same with appliances. Which is the proper way, assuming the room is completely cleared out to start with. I do understand the added cost of tiling the entire floor under cabinets and appliances, however I am asking for the correct way, not necessiarly the most cost effective way. Thanks.

What color appliances should I buy?

I just painted my cabinets a cream/bisque color. I am adding stainless hardware. I am putting in a teak wood floor and granite counters that are black with cream/rust. I am deciding between stainless or cream. I am afraid the cream will be too much but I have a small kitchen and not sure how the stainless will look with 3 appliances in a small L-shaped kitchen…maybe too much ‘bling’? Thanks for any suggestions.

What style/color cabinets look good with black appliances and medium gray ceramic tile floor?

I am purchasing a foreclosure property. The kitchen has almost new black appliances and new medium gray 10 x 10 ceramic floor tile. It is 12 x 9, with the range, d/w and sink, plus all of the cabinets on one 12 foot wall; the fridge is on a wall 90 degrees counterclockwise from the cabinets. A friend suggested painting the walls red, which I am not entirely averse to, but I don’t know what to do about the cabinets (they HAVE to be replaced!). All suggestions are welcome!
