| We are having our cabinets custom made. They will be a White Shaker Style but will have a bead like trim on the inside edge. I still need to select the white but it will be a creamy white (maybe Mascarpone or Pot of Cream by Behr). Countertops will be satin/leathered Marron Cohiba granite. I still have to pick my slabs but ever since seeing those last year, I haven't found anything else that I love so much. I chose the Kohler Whitehaven sink in white. I am 95% sure I will be getting the Elkay Explore bridge faucet in chrome (like springroz's). I am planning on a white subway backsplash but would like a decorative frame above the range (NXR 36"). I will have an island that has the trash pull-out, middle drawer bank and spice pull out. This section will have the Marron Cohiba. Then on the back of the island we are attatching a table that will have a mahogany butcher block top and legs matching the island. My flooring is a warm slightly reddish toned brown wood floors. My kitchen opens up into my family room. In my family room I have the Brandon Rug from Pottery Barn, love it!
So, as you can see I have certain details taken care of but I am trying to form a picture in my head. I also am trying to figure out other details like lighting, hardware (I like RH's Aubrey and Bistro not sure about polished or brushed)etc.
Here is a link to my kitchen as it is now, I also included photos of my dining room color. The large entertainment center is being removed. I think it will take you to the whole album. |

| I only see one photo and I think it is the dining room. |

| I was hoping it would have taken you to the full album. I will go ahead and post the pictures here for you. This again is how my kitchen looks now, thanks so much! |

| I put this together with the items you mentioned. These cabs are Kraft Maid in dove white (custom colors are hard). I used Weimeraner for the walls. I think the backsplash tile I used is too gray for the Marron Cohiba, but I found it ridiculously hard to find usable pics of subway backsplash tiles (I know, how can that be?). Oh, and I didn't see that you had mentioned a hood, so I gave you a stainless chimney hood. I'm not sure how reddish your wood floors are, but I kept ending up with images that had very little contrast between the mahogany butcher block and the wood floor. I hope this helps with your visualization. |

| I used an online program called Olioboard to make the picture. It's pretty easy to use if you are computer savvy; the hard/time consuming part is finding pictures of stuff that you can snip and put in your design board. I didn't find the library of stuff on the site very helpful. I redid the board using the floor from your pic, replacing the chimney hood with an undercabinet hood, and I tracked down a warmer subway tile. The tile is more beige than white, but pairs well with the Weimeraner. My opinion: I think with the changes and corrections it works well together, except for the mahogany table. The reddish undertones don't seem to be a good match for either the Marron Cohiba or the Weimeraner. I think a walnut would be a better match, or maybe something like a reclaimed wood that is a bit bleached out, like the color of driftwood. I love the Weimeraner. I am planning to paint my Bedroom BM Fairview Taupe, which isn't that far off from Weimeraner (so I may be biased). I'm planning to use BM Beach Glass (pretty close to your SW Comfort Gray) for the ceiling. |
