I am surprised you have chosen an accent before you have designed the kitchen. But, we all need an inspiration piece…can we see the granite backsplash?

How to "KItchen" in order.........

Functions first. What must you have?

LAYOUT/ APPLIANCES ( you can not plan cabinetry without knowing appliance specs)

CABINETRY/FLOORING MATERIAL/FINISHES ( CHOSEN TOGETHER)

SINKS FAUCETS ( a farm or apron will affect cabinetry )

LIGHTING (What kind/where )

COUNTER TOPS

BACK SPLASH

See where back splash selection is? Yeah....... it is dead last

Make an idea book on Houzz of kitchens that appeal to you........and note WHY they appeal. Begin there..... but that's the pecking order: )

2 questions - should I paint cabinets/help pick backsplash

Hi. Thanks for the input. I am going to leave the cabinets alone and I am going to order the tiles on the right. How do you think it would look in a diamond pattern? Too much? Also, would I need to order more tile if it is in a diamond pattern? The area measures 36sq and my contractor said to order 40 sq. Is this enough? Or should I order more to be safe? It's very expensive and I hate to spend more than I have to. What do you think?

Here's what the beveled tile looks like. I love this style. Island, the collection is called Victoria Ivory & shockingly the cabinets are from Cabinets To Go. I know CTG doesn't get much love here. To be honest, I was very nervous about ordering these cabinets just because of the reputation of Chinese cabinets but they really are a nice quality cabinet & finish. We didn't order through CTG but our kitchen contractor uses the products in his business. I've been very surprised & relieved when I've been taking the door sample into the tile showrooms the compliments I've received about the quality of the door. We have been able to customize some of our order by working w/ our kitchen contractor. I will post pics after kitchen is complete. This post was edited by kgolby on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 15:54

OK, here are the pics after the cabs were stained. We went with a deep mahogany to coordinate with the tiles, granite and backsplash. The results have really exceeded our expectations. My contractor says that the shine of the top coat will tone down over the next few weeks. Note: I have many skills, but photography is not one of them. So please excuse the crappy pics :) The stain is really a dark brown/mahogany -- not black as seen in some of the pics. Here is a picture with the flash on -- shows some of the brown tones

Hi Ekazn Your kitchen sounds beautiful, can't wait to see what you are working with. What other colors and elements do you have in your kitchen? Lighting fixtures? Trim? Are you a geniune modern or more of a contemporary? Modern for me is a style from the 20th century with German scandinavian influences. Is this what you mean by modern? If you are not thinking form follows funtion and more of a contemporary sophisticated chic look that I can try to find some images of what you are looking for. Meanwhile, here are few ideas that come to mind with what you describe you are looing for. I am happy to help with more ideas just curious as to which direction to help you in. ~boxerpups Not subway but really pretty with an exotic granite

One thing that applies I think, especially in open rooms, is the flooring - is it already 'set' whether light, medium, or dark? That would affect wood or paint of cabinets.... cause I crave sunlight [and am low on D] I always wonder how many windows! :)

I noticed your satin nickel lights.. and grey/yellow fabric. Maybe a mixed grey-beige somewhere would work, and bits of yellow. Or a cheerier even garden look is yellow and white cabinets... ??
