Kitchen Remodel

[blueberryhill]

I do love the "waviness" and colors of countertop....Is that Maple for cabinets?

Yes, they're maple but I didn't like the natural or even the lighter color maples (they had wheat etc.). It's stained butternut with a coffee glaze all over.

That's good because I read later that natural, maple cabinets are totally out. Fucking trends. If I followed trends, I should be making my kitchen white and gray.

I'm STILL working on floors. I think everything I'm liking is going to be shockingly dark in this house. I'm having a hard time finding a rich, warm albeit medium colored brown floor. They get blah in medium.

Yes, I don't like the trending grays, whites, beige, and other non colors....I like warm colors although I do have white cabinets in CO. I like this maple stain...it looks slightly antiqued with the coffee glaze over the stain....I found my granite tile by looking online at granite, then going to a local store and having them order sample for me.....you could do that for your flooring.....are you thinking stone, ceramic, wood, porcelain tile, etc? I read a couple of years ago, that granite, stainless were on the way out, but i don't like trend of cold colors with non wood cabinets, way too contemporary for me.

I don't think it is going to be too dark....your cabinets aren't dark, countertop is medium and if floor is going to be medium, i think it will work beautifully.....you have windows in there so don't think that should be a problem...you have seen a lot of kitchens with black granite for countertops with dark cabinets.....a little too dark for me.

Are you using backsplash.....one of the tan colors in countertop would look good......I know everyone is using the glass tiles now....I would dare to be different.......
