If you drive through our neighborhood, 90% of siding is white, grey, or along the neutral tan spectrum light to dark. We actually like our house because the siding was a bit different--it is a more yellow tone (but not like a light yellow, still fits into the neutral scheme).
We have a microwave over the oven, I prefer that. We were just looking at a house for sale on our street that is comparable to ours and they had the microwave over the stove. Personally we think the microwave over the stovetop looks a bit "cheaper". We have a corner stovetop with hood.
We've only ever had closet off the bedroom, not the bathroom. But it may work better for you, personal preference.
