I had a sample of Hearthstone and to me it seemed very taupey. We really wanted grey and went with Cadet grey for our island and wine bar and I'm happy with them.

Thanks Erica, do you have a picture of your island. I'm trying to decide the very same colors for mine! I have a sample of the Cadet Grey, and I think it's pretty.

Hearthstone is very warm. You can't depend on colors from the computer because of lighting in your kitchen. In real life, it's much warmer.

Yep, that's why I'm ordering the sample. driftwood sample was nothing like the monitor shot. I am drawn to the warmer tones of grey so excited to see it. Thanks!

Here are a couple pictures of our (unfinished) island:

Erica, that looks gorgeous. What countertops did you use. Really looks great!

Who did you get your cabinets from?

Counters are Cambria Torquay.

Cabinets are custom (but I say that with a grain of salt) - they build the boxes and order frames, doors, millwork, etc from Conestoga. Drawers are from another supplier.

And note that my door style is custom - I wanted Shaker with a little bit of detail and came across this design somewhere. Conestoga was able to recreate (for a fee, of course!).

I have a small wine bar that is also in Cadet grey. They are putting the glass doors on today (hopefully), so I can add that picture later. Would allow you to see both uppers and lowers in Cadet.

Note that white is Frosty.

Erica, thanks for posting! I just ordered my cabinets from conestoga and chose cadet gray for the island and frosty white for everything else. The Cadet Gray looks so nice! Almost makes me wish I had done all the lowers in gray...but I wasn't sure how the gray would end up looking (I just had a small sample). Yours looks awesome!

How exciting cece673 I'm close to ordering and that's the combo I'm probably going with, too did you decide on inset? Good luck with your kitchen .

Thanks Erica..looking forward to seeing your wine bar when it's complete

Michey, no we decided to go with full overlay but part of me will always wish we had gone with inset. Unfortunately time and money constraints factored in!

Thanks so much for sharing, Erica..really looks great!

@Erica does the cadet gray looks dark to you once it's in? My sample door was dark. More medium tone than a light gray.

I'm thinking of doing my bar in Cadet gray to save money vs Prism.

So excited..ready to order my cabinets..I decided on Hearthstone perimeter cabinets and walnut Island clear stain sable glaze..the 2 square tiles are Caesarsone pebble and Bianco Drift long tile is a sample of the floor tile I will be using but in 12x24 size

That looks great, Michey! Can't wait to see it all come together!

Thanks cece!

@Michey312 are you happy with your hearthstone choice? Getting ready to order and I’m on the fence regarding color!
