Gorgeous!

WOW! Stunning. You are going to post pics once the marble is on - right?!

Love!!! I'm planning dark blue base cabinets, myself, so this is thrilling to see :)

Looks really nice!!!

That island is stunning! Love the color and all the detail. It is going to look amazing with your counters. Looking forward to more pictures.

Thanks everyone! We started this with our designer in January so it's very exciting that it's finally coming along! I will post pix when the marble is in.

Your island color is the prettiest blue color I have seen posted. I like it very much. It looks rich looking and will be even mor so when the marble is on it. Love your choices. Hope you post additional pics later!

What a gorgeous shade of blue. It will look stunning with the marble. Well, it already looks stunning - but can't wait to see it with the marble. You must be dancing :)

Outstanding is the word! I am a blue girl and love that Navy!!!! IIndeed, with that marble it will be perfect!!!!

Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to the day (hopefully in a few weeks) to share some pics....floors are being installed and then cabinetry!

Stunning !
I love the color and the placement.

Very, very pretty and unusual (in a good way)!

Go Blue! Nice.

Oh Yeah! (Theme from Ferris Buehler music...)

That looks wonderful! Please say you are including some blue & white china in your gorgeous kitchen?

Wowzer!!!!!

I can't wait to see it with the marble!

Beautiful island!

Wowzers!

That is STUNNING! I can't wait to see it with the marble!

Gorgeous!!! I'm going to echo sweeby and cue the Ferris Bueller music... "Oh Yeah... chicka chicka" :)

I positively love the color and furniture feel to it. I can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for posting!

It's beautiful. I, too, can't wait to see it with the marble installed.

What a wonderful color island with such cool details. I can already envision all sorts of ways to use the color to dress up whatever is served!

Wow! That's really beautiful! I love how your island looks like a piece of furniture. :)

Love the navy and white! Your cab hardware is jewelry against the rich dark blue. Can't wait to see the marble in place--it's going to be beautiful!

Beautiful! Im not a "navy" person but it looks GORGEOUS!!! Can't wait to see the marble installed! ; )

Beautiful, beautiful island.. Anxious to see the marble sitting on it.

That's a seriously gorgeous piece of cabinetry. I'm anxious to see it with the counter installed. Those are lovely slabs. Please post again when it's done.

Beautiful island. Love the color!

Wow Deb, that's beautiful! Just curious - with overhangs on long and short sides, how will you position the corbels underneath? Thanks.

Thanks everyone! I will post pix when the marble is installed.

LakeGirl, we're not using corbels. The will put 4 steel plates underneath the marble to support it. There is wood attached inside the top of the shorter cabinets to support and screw in the steel plates. Hope that makes sense!

Sweeby, my china is my gramma's blue willow. It's in the china cabinet in the dining room. We also have a lot of cobalt blue glass in the glass cabinet at the end of the perimeter counter. Most of our house is blue & white!

MaMa wants!!! Love, love, love...

hah, lookee there....I knew that your blue cabinet looked familiar in that other thread...the one about "approving the color".....because I saw it here!

I am truly losing my mind. Apologies. Well, you'd be losing yours too if everytime you went to your house it seems that the wrong thing is being installed. (wrong vanities today)

Your island still looks great!

OMG that thing/those things, are GORGEOUS! To be honest, brutally honest, I am incredibly jealous (and considering stooping to stealing your colors). Finally, something which pops with the floors and perimeter cabinets! I love the pictures, please keep posting. Best, oldbat2be

"my china is my gramma's blue willow" "We also have a lot of cobalt blue glass" "Most of our house is blue & white!"
OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST PICS.

I love your navy & white kitchen (& white appliances). The marble is going to look wonderful (but of course I need to see pics of that too).

Wow!i can't wait to see when the counter top is in place.

Just gorgeous! Can't wait to see with the marble installed.

I love blue, too!

Thanks everyone! Bee, you're cracking me up!

Oldbat - steal my colors! I don't mind a bit. I'd love to see another navy and white kitchen to see more ideas :) Thank you for your compliments!

Decor - you want to see pix of the rest of the house? I have a zillon because we moved in 2.5 years ago and have changed almost everything, but not sure what you want to see!

Thanks everyone! You all make a girl's day!

Deb, I'd love to see gramma's blue willow, the cobalt blue glass, your LR, & anything else you would care to share (& the finished kitchen of course).

Gosh, sooo pretty! Can't wait to see the marble.

Ok Decor, I'll post the other pix in a separate thread, either Monday, or Tuesday (marble comes Monday morning). Here's a peek at our newest cobalt acquisition. It's an apothecary jar with a spigot. I plan to put it in the center of the lower marble slab (that slab is table-height and almost 5'x5'). I was so excited to find it!

Kompy! I love that house! My DH travels for work. Last week he was in Minnesota and sent me this house: I think it's the same color!

Here's a closer up view. Notice the shutters are not black, but a midnight blue.

I was showing this photo around to some friends and my friend's house is actually this color too! I had never been to her house so drove by and snapped a shot of her place as well. She went with the black shutters.

I love the close up view! I like it with the creamy white (pic my husband took), but I love it with the bright white. It really makes it POP!! Your friend's house is so pretty too! I liked blue just fine, but pink is my favorite color. My old house was very small and all the walls were white. When we looked at our current house, the DR and Kitchen were light blue (the rest of the house was mostly done in mochas). I never had thought of a blue kitchen, but I LOVED it! We repainted but the DR is still light blue - just a softer tone (as is the LR and the foyer and the hallway). The LR has one navy wall and the kitchen walls are all the same navy. Our BR is the same with one navy wall and the rest light, as is our master bath. My mom calls our house the "house of blues." It wasn't the plan, but I love it. It's peaceful and relaxing and calming and I like things to match or blend.

What a beautiful color that is. It looks great with white.

Wow Deb that apothecary jar is awesome. I'm excited just to see it in pics. Thanks for posting it.

Deb, I found this thread after you posted your corner sink on a current thread. Please tell me about your perimeter counters, and if you've posted a reveal? I'm considering bros blue granite on my white perimeter and grey island; I generally love blue but am now nervous about it - will it be too cold, clash with my wood floors, get tiresome, turn off a future buyer many years from now....any reassurance you can offer would be appreciated!

KKS, I don't have a reveal thread because the kitchen was done in steps, and the perimeter was done before I knew about GardenWeb. My perimeter counters are blue pearl granite. They are indestructible :) I don't think blue is cold at all. I think blue is calming and inviting. But then, I love blue! What color are you wood floors? I'm happy with all the color choices we made. The floor is very matte, and I think I would like it a bit shinier, but that's about the only thing I want to change. As far as tiresome - we bought our house almost 4 years ago. Most of the house (including the front door) is done in blue. Yesterday, while shopping for a bathing suit (the dreaded shopping trip!!), guess which ones jumped out at me? The navy and white. Yep, that's what I bought. I just love navy and white together, so nope, it doesn't get tiresome. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your kitchen!

Thank you, Deb. I'm going to take cabinet, floor and even backsplash samples with me to visit the slabs. Standing in front of them, calming was definitely the best word - and I could use some calming!

Loving it!!!! Saved it in my Favorites under Kitchen Islands - joining a very few other entries. I am fussy and this fits the bill for me.

I am also definitely making note of the color.

Deb, what are the heights of your two islands with or without your countertops? Thanks, Peke

Peke - The tall side is counter height (is that 36"?) and the short/table side is table height (which I think is 30"). I'm at work and can't measure, but I'm pretty sure those are the heights and I THINK that is before countertop, which are both 3cm.

Thanks, deb
