Thanks Lori. The color I used in the kitchen and hallways was Shiny Lister by Behr. I used Distant Star in the bathrooms which is more of a blue gray but looks very blue in my master bathroom and grey blue in my downstairs bathroom. I have tile that are cream and I think that is bringing out the blue in my master. I am making the switch to SW Big Chill for hallways and bedrooms and then SW light French gray for bathrooms. The kitchen I am doing SW functional grey. These are all more black/brown undertones so hopefull it will look better! Attached are more photos, you can tell my living room looks lilac and hallways look blue as well as kitchen, and they are all painted Shiny Luster

Check out GWer elizpiz's gorgeous kitchen with its gray-green cabinets and time-worn, comfortable look, Finally - Elizpiz's Finished Kitchen. I think her cab's color looks great with the wood-wrapped windows so I think it would work well with butcher block counters. The painting technique is going to be more labor intensive but it would definitely suit a 100 year old farmhouse. Here's the link to her photo album. Elizpiz's kitchen is still one of my hands-down favorites. I'm so glad the photo links still work! And just because I have a little time on my hands, here are some other kitchens with gray or gray-green cabinets. A few tilt more gray-blue, which I think would also look good with your floor and butcher block counters. Farrow & Ball French Gray on cabinets. Reads a bit minty green on my monitor but that could be because the floor reads taupe (your floor reads taupe-y on my monitor, too.) Benjamin Moore's Alexandria Beige SW Coastal Plain Farrow & Ball Manor House Grey Hit the photo limit.

Hmm Lisa...I am guessing SSwiddows has very good sealer. My slabs are honed, not leathered. I chose these because I really like soapstone but did not want the maintenance. I may as well have bought that with the maintenance I have with the silver grey. I put a crockpot on it with a towel underneath. It took over a week for the dark spot to go away. Again, I will be spraying on a sealer and hope that will make a difference. Will have to look in the search for "good sealer" and hope to find some suggestions.

I will gladly offer my opinion but it would be biased with my personal tastes. I would also need more information as choosing color should relate to the big picture and the style you are going for. What rooms are adjacent to the kitchen? What is your cabinet layout and door style? Will you have a backsplash? How much lighting will you have? Where does the shiplap wall fall in the layout? Agreeable gray walls and cabinets will create a subdued mood with the cabinets receding into the background. Will the shiplap still be alabaster? Trim? Will you have crown? It could look very nice if you have enough whites throughout to bounce light. I tend to like whites and would likely not do gray cabinets in my kitchen but still appreciate it done well in other homes. The monochromatic look can look good with your other style choices, but so would the contrast created by the alabaster walls which will brighten your space. This photo has Agreeable gray cabinets on the perimeter. They do not mention the shade of white on the walls but it appears to lean warm. The backsplash adds a reflective quality. This photo is Agreeable gray cabs with BM Elmira White walls. Looks nice with warm oak floors. Ultimately, this really needs to be what feels right to you in your space and how the colors look in YOUR light on each wall. Please get sample boards as paint is an expensive decision. What looks good in pictures can look so different in your home. I sampled so many grays and whites prior to choosing mine.
