| My kitchen is going to have 2 different cabinet colors. The perimeter will have off white with a black granite counter top. The island is grey with a mahogany top. My question is...is this to many finishes going on? Should I either get all off white cabinets or all black counter tops? My issue with the island is that it's just slightly bigger than 10x6. I can't find a single slab that big and if I use granite I have to have a seam.
These are the colors of the doors
and this is what the white looks like with the black
I don't have a picture of the grey with the mahogany top |

| I am a bit OCD but loving this combo! Very pretty! |

| I think it sounds nice, too. That's a pretty gray. |

| Looks beautiful and I have seen many kitchens with this many combos. My sister has two different granites plus a walnut top on her island and a separate bake station area in a different color and it looks great. Your colors are neutral so I think it can stand more variation in the colors. A layered look! Your kitchen is going to be beautiful! |

| How will the mahogany be finished? Are you staining it or using a conversion varnish? Unstained Mahogany Mahogany has a lot of pink in it, starts out light, and gets darker with age. Unstained, I think it's possibly the wrong color for your grey cabinets, and would choose all black over that option, even if it means a seam. WaLNUT might be a better look for you. This is Boos end grain walnut butcherblock. |

| I went to the kitchen showroom today and put it all together to the best of my ability. The black in the picture is a piece of AB since I don't have a sample piece of my slab. The floor on the bottom is american cherry and is the floor that will be in the whole house including the kitchen. I tried a few samples. First up is American Cherry Wood top. This picture also has a piece of Q Arctic White.
This has a picture of a variety of different wood tops. One is Black Walnut and one is Black Sapele. I didn't like the dark piece on the left so I didn't pay attention to what it is. Can I get some opinions? Cherry? Arctic White with a seam? One of the other woods? Thanks so much for helping me pick! |
