I like both granites and both cabinet stains, but have to agree that the Uba Tuba is livelier and more interesting. The Tropical Brown is very nice, but will be low key and monochromatic in your kitchen. So what do you see as being your kitchen's eye-catcher? With Tropical Brown, you can have (might need) a busy backsplash and killer light fixtures. If you go with the brown granite, I think I prefer the darker cabinet stain since it's a more consistent monochromatic look. Then for your accents, play with textures and shapes more than colors? With the Uba Tuba, your kitchen could take more dramatic accents, but wouldn't necessarily need them. If you go with the green, I'd probably choose the lighter cabinets just to pick up on the golden tones, then accent with brilliant golden yellow and/or red. The slate's a great floor in either case -- but be prepared for the huge color variation. (Or to pay substantially more for slate that's more consistently colored.)

Thank you! I did a reveal on the kitchen page. This is the only piece we couldn't figure out. In part because of decision overload on the rest of he project I think.

Your place looks really rustic, reminds me of our old ski house. What do the legs on your table look like? I don't like your first chair option for your place. Depending on the table legs I think the last two chairs might be a good option. I like the turquoise stool in either that or a cream color. I like the idea of the dark stained legs because of the nice contrast they give to the pine in the house.

No kitchen designer here, we did a full home remodel with no designer. It took some time for me to commit with the kitchen stuff, I also knew I wanted white shaker but after having it in 2 prior kitchens I was open to other looks too. I ended up with navy blue lowers and white uppers after seeing the navy in a showroom. Also opted for the kraftmaid sonata door at the last minute after seeing it in person in lowes. It's shaker with a little something extra. We also used a home reno app on the ipad to see different layouts and posted on here as well as instagram for advice. Once we had a layout we liked we got 8 different quotes, some online that came with a free layout/designer, big box stores, ikea, costco, etc. Our kitchen designer at lowes was fantastic.
