First question is, what kind of siding is that and does it need regular painting? I see gutters and so are they fully covered with leaf guards? I'd hate to see you blocking the second story interest of the windows . These are important to the appeal of the mult-level roofline. The single window nook between the main house and the garage is begging for not a crape myrtle but perhaps a nice vitex that isn't insulted by harsh pruning should you need to get behind it to paint. It's airy looking in form and wonderful for lighting of the small white holiday type or simple uplighting. The breadth of it's branches provide dappled shade to annuals and it doesn't mind underplantings. Garage wall is begging for some dark lump medium height evergreens (holly rather than boxwood which are suffering from leaf miners/virals). I think it's important to not cover the break between the two grey tones of the garage. It is visually interesting with the stark white break. Is that shredded hay or dormant Bermuda grass lawn out front? Do you have a edging planting bed on the lawn side of the sidewalk? The chairs on the front porch and pairs of windows behind them say you don't want anything even mid tall fronting porch in the beds. But, you might want to extend and curve the left porch bed around the side of the house.

I looked at the paints you posted and if you want to paint green above the sink and stove, you will need to have it directly relate something else in the Kitchen scheme. This would mean you would need to find a glass tile that has the green in it or go with a totally neutral backsplash like the 4x4 tiles you are showing with the glass tile. A viewers eye will look for a relationship between the paint color and the backsplash or other features in the room and not find it. Even if those colors exist in an adjacent room, the relationship needs to be clearly there in the Kitchen. In this case, I don't think matching accessories will get you there either. Now for a little design editorial. I think the basic design concept that you should bring colors from one room to another throughout the house is a good one, but has been overused. The theory is that having each room relate makes the house flow. Whether that works or not really depends on a lot more factors. The premise is that each room should not be a completely different color, yet in some cultures it is the norm to paint each room a completely different color and looks quite wonderful in context. Okay, enough of that. In effect, you do have a color relationship between your rooms already and it is your basic neutral Khaki. There are some advantages to keeping the backsplash completely neutral if you want to use accent paint colors. You can change your color scheme very easily without having to change tiles. Basing your scheme on the neutral allows you to paint accent walls while the overall effect remains pulled together. Either choice is a good one. It's what works best for you. If you decide to keep the glass tile as you originally selected it, and still love the green, try to find somewhere else to use it. I used my green in the Laundry room.

I think I've figured out that the red tile is your floor? And the gray stone is a SS? If so, I'm a little confused... you said those were things you've ordered. Are you using SS somewhere, or is that just what you would use if you could? It's beautiful; I love any SS but didn't use it for the same reason. I have heard here that leathered engineered quartz is difficult to maintain. Leathered granite, OTOH... For a long time I really thought we'd be going with quartz, but once I started looking at some of the granites, I knew that's what would work best for us. By that time I had also decided that I didn't like the polished look and wanted honed or leathered or whatever. We ended up with Impala Black leathered, which was about the same as the quote we got for Hanstone. Silestone was more, and Cambria probably would have been even more. It doesn't have any cream, just dark gray overall effect, probably in the same color family as a gray SS or JM, though I never saw that in person. If you take away the cream color of your 1st Cambria pic, that's about what you would have. It has been mistaken for SS in a photo. Overall it has been a breeze to keep looking nice (about two months). We did crack it this weekend by running the crock pot directly on it (fabricator didn't give us any hints about what to do and not to do, but they will fix it and bring us some trivets to put the crock pot on in the future). Otherwise, it seems pretty hardy, and definitely does not show stains from those things you listed. Not sure if that helps or if you are looking for suggestions of stones with some cream along with gray, but from what you said, it might fit.

I second the suggestion to decide on the floor first, and to think as seriously about use and maintenance as you do about looks when you make the floor decision. Floors with some variation in them (stone, marmoleum, hardwood, bamboo, certain kinds of porcelain tile...) are much easier to keep looking nice than floors that are uniform solid colors. And floors with some softness (wood, marmoleum, bamboo) are easier on the feet and back than harder surfaces. Yada yada, there are a bunch of factors to consider. But considering them first would probably narrow down your cabinet choices, making that decision easier. As for the cabinets, you mentioned liking sugarbeet. With sugarbeet being a warm mid-range tone, you could go either dark or light on the counters. It probably wouldn't look so good if you used another mid-range like the tan or the amazon star; that could look too monolithic. Also, since the kitchen's on the small side, I would steer clear of ebony or similarly dark finishes. Absolute Black would look nice with sugarbeet, but may be a nightmare for maintenance depending on what finish you get--the tiniest bread crumb might stand out like a neon sign. If you like the black I would suggest Black Galaxy, because it has sparkles in it (hence the name "galaxy"), which makes it much more forgiving--breadcrumbs and other small imperfections don't stand out, so your kitchen still looks great even if you're not standing there with a damp cloth to wipe up every speck of dust. But ultimately, of course, this is all about your tastes... not just in colors and styles, but also your taste in lifestyle, if that makes sense. I mean, for example, do you guys like padding into the kitchen barefoot on weekends to make brunch? Your bare feet will like a soft, warm surface like wood/bamboo/marmoleum a lot better than a hard, cold one like stone or porcelain tile. (Of course, if radiant flooring is an option you're willing to pay for, the equation changes a little bit.) And, do you have furry or feathery pets, or do you plan to in the future? If so, avoid solid-colored surfaces (floor or counter) LIKE THE PLAGUE, since the tiniest dog hair or bird feather will be visible on those surfaces, requiring constant cleaning just to keep the kitchen from looking like a mess. I'm sure you can think of more examples of how you like to live in your kitchen. Let those guide your choices.
