| Thinking of a floor called cafe its a medium to shades of darker taupe /brown with some slight grey in it. Its a tract builder but I can pick the colors. The cabinets he uses are Legacy, amaretto is the color I like to pick from of stain color and they are maple. They do have dovetail drawers and all and all seem like a decent cabinet. Going to do my own granite in there in blue pearl unless I get in there if I do the cafe floor it might be to dark with it., in that case I will change granites. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Legacy cabinets ..color amaretto

I think you should construct a "mood board" with pictures of your choices next to each other. Here is an example of a mood board:  |

| I wish I had time to do that board Idea but have to decide soon not sure how to do a mood board actually either not real super computer savvy. |

| I think it will look nice. I might be tempted to look at some other granites rather than blue pearl. That one has been around for a long time here. I think something that is closer in color to the floor would be pretty on your cabinets. Nice color choices on the maple cabinet line. Interesting. Good luck! |

| I know but I just love blue pearl granite . It might not look good though with floor and cabs.When I get in there I migh have to pick another color another color of granite I like is Emerald pearl its green . Do not go outside the box to far do it lol . I do like St Cecelia light if I can find one not heavy on gold but more creamy. |

Looks like it could work well. In trying to find photos of blue pearl granite; it's often shown with white cabinets or gray tones. Here it is with a warm wood but with different tones.  Here's another room with dark cabs   Good Luck! If you love it, then go for it! |

| You might want to look at some tiles that are multi-colored. You could pull some more grey in with the beige/brown. Here's a suggeation: http://www.lowes.com/pd_422207-40398-KEYSTONE18GREY_0__?productId=4295 385&Ntt=keystone+grey&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dkeystone%2Bgrey&facetIn fo= It looks darker than it is in person. Here's another idea: Since you are drawn to the blue pearl you might want to include some grey tones in the floor. |

| Only trouble is with the spec builder only certain tiles they have to so I have to pick what they have . Cafe is only one I have seen so far with any gray undertone to it. Thanks San Juan girl . |
