please help with granite selection for cherry kitchen
Comments (11)I love granite the natural beauty of stone. It has been a fantastic surface. I would do it all over again. Your choices are beautiful! I lean toward the European Gold but I would have to see the entire slab. Can you get a pick of the slab? Are you able to choose your own slab? Template? What kind of edge are you thinking of? Check out the link to the Granite Checklist. You may have already read it but if not it is really helpful. And I have some pictures of Cherry with golden granites but not the Euro Gold. Keep in mind granite names change a bit from different parts of the country and depending where they were taken from. . I hope they help you visulize. I do think the Euro Gold is the one though. ~boxer Golden Persa by Colvin Golden Sun by Delaware Granite Golden Wave by Dimensional Stone Golden Beaches Golden Wave Butterfly Gold (Makes me think of Euro Gold) Santa Cecilia by Missouri Max Marble Santa Cecilia Here is a link that might be useful: Stone Information and Advice (& Checklists)...See MorePlease Help - Color Selection for Walls/Ceiling
Comments (2)Your home sounds beautiful! I just looked up black fox. Nice color...looks dark but not sure what your house looks like. Someone here will surely help as they know their colors well!! Ever considered a gray green? Just a thought. For ceilings I would consider a lighter color in the same family as the walls or the same color as the walls. Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Comments (34)gray wouldn't work with your current tile but i hear from you you're willing to replace it it might work very well with your wood but you're not taking it into the kitchen, right? I'd look at the kitchen as a whole..and try to determine my flooring first..what would work with my vision(don't choose your gray just yet), with the rest of the space, and won't look like an afterthought? (I personally just continued floors into the kitchen because the space dictated it, and I couldn't think of any other solution that wouldn't chop the space and won't look like an afterthought. was easier though since floor was laid all in once sharing this as somebody who has reddish walnut floooring, and light taupe/greige cabinets (that can be more gray or almost oatmeal depending on the light. that's what I love about them..how they constantly change) I like the contrast between brown/red and warm grey or off white... you need to know what level of contrast you're good with. I have several colors going on in my house and all work with the flooring, sometimes the consrast is higher, sometimes milder. I think shade of gray(or any other color..my first choice for cabinets was much bolder a color))) would depend a lot on all the other elements..and floor is a very important one. Consider it first; it will lead you to decision about the color Also agree that you won't know how a color will behave until you see it in your space in your light. All my door samples didn't work..they were too cold. They looked great when laid hotizontally. The moment I put them vertically as they'd be installed vertically too-they were too cold for what I wanted. I'm a warm color person, I pick warm version of any color for major surfaces, so wasn't good enough. In the end we went with a custom color. No Revere Pewter no Elephant Breath no Dovetail..nothing I had high hopes for worked in my house as I wanted it to work. So. I'd figure out the whole big picture first. Check flooring options. Then narrow on color. Then..sample. I'd go with lighter, warmer shade of color in your case. Your tile will need to correspond with your wood floors too. And have some contrast with your cabs. And..I don't know what you expect of tiles but mine shouldn't be slippery for example. That's not an easy fit. So I'd start with the most complicated part-the flooring that will go with everything that stays AND with whatever your vision is for the future....See MorePlease help with white paint selection and light bulb temp.
Comments (16)Thank you Heather! You have been really helpful. I am going with an electric oven and the side warming cabinet. I bake a lot, especially breads. When I make my breakfasts, I usually need something (oven) to keep bacon, potato's etc warm. I'm also finding, that because my husband is now working from home (I recently retired :) ) that keeping food warm for him is nice too. He's usually has conference calls that can keep him from a hot meal I've cooked. I'm keeping my Decor wall oven so will have access to two electric ovens. But having a small space to keep things warm should work pretty well. So, I'm excited to get this stove ordered. We will have to do a small remodel in our kitchen, new farmhouse sink and repositioning some existing cabinets. Yes, we are going to probably have to do something creative with the hood as well since the stove is a off measurement of 43"....See MoreTXBluebonnet11
