3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoSharing where we are in our project - we have a large L and I'm impressed how well the corner looks. Worth the extra upcharge! Tile is next and then the under cabinet lights. Once the colored tile is installed under the white cabinets, I think it will all tie in. The white tile with warm taupe grout will be on the wall with all sage/olive cabinets.
Cabinets: Dove White and Louisville Green (both Benjamin Moore)

Countertop veining. Need quick help please
Comments (29)The whole idea is to give the illusion that your counters were carved in one giant piece out of one giant slab, therefore, what your fabricator proposed initially is ideal. As for this: “Once he was on site, the fabricator seemed to agree with me and suggested the European curved seam at that point,” I think he was simply trying to appease you. ;) Beautiful kitchen, btw!...See Moreurgent help: Countertop that doesn’t clash with floors!
Comments (13)I agree that simple and solid is best. I would recommend something with a tiny bit of speckling, however, over a pure white countertop. We have pure white quartz counters at our beach house and they CONSTANTLY look dirty. You see every speck of a crumb, and even if they’re perfectly clean, you see streaks from the cleaner. The dark soapstone that someone mentioned could look really nice as well. Or concrete counters. I think quartz could look a little sterile with the stone floors, so I’m leaning towards soapstone or concrete. Concrete countertops can come in any paint color that you’d like if you don’t like the standard gray look....See MoreNeeding help with a complimentary colour.
Comments (6)jen90je , I hope you didn't let one harsh comment ruin your Houzz experience. There is a lot of great help available here and in some ways Jan is right, just harsh. You would get a lot more response if you had more pictures and you get the most advice if you say your a bachelor. Sounds to me like you are drowning in a sea of neutral. This is pretty common since we have been leaning neutral for a couple of decades. The problem is that after doing our white on white or gray and white or beige and white and layering all the neutrals we crave color. I try to blend colors throughout the home using more or less of the same few colors in each room. My current color pallet has one white, one neutral and 3 colors (hues). My general rule of thumb is approximately 60% neutral, 30% color and 10% accent color. Blue can range from purple blue to green blue and from silver blue to navy. What will work well with your blue and the other colors in your home will depend on the shade of blue you are using. My mom always told us to look to nature to know what colors work together. Color theory tells us to use a color wheel and geometry to find perfect color combinations. I do both and sometimes find inspiration in a painting or piece of art choosing colors that an artist selected that speak to me. Blue is the color of the sky and water, some flowers and birds. You can use several blues pairing brighter and subdued together or pair it with most any other color. It is really versatile. Think of the colors in your home in a painting or like a wardrobe. What coat works with what pants and shoes and shirts and jewelry. What colors do you wear that make you feel like a 10? What colors bring you joy? Your home should bring you that same confidence and joy as that outfit that makes you feel like a 10. No one can tell you what color combination makes your heart sing. Once you know what colors you like with the blues you have already incorporated into your living room you can add a few touches of another color. A vase, flowers or a coffee table book. You could add an area carpet that is gray and blue and has a touch of another color. Use that color in your kitchen with a few touches of blue. In the bedroom you can use a lighter blue or a darker blue with another color and use that color in the bathroom with a few touches of blue. Pick your pallet and keep layering and adding until you feel like everything flows and is in balance. I am working on a renovation. I picked my palette from the Red/Purple/Green Slate floor in my entry. My home has red siding and brick. I love color, but have a special affinity for wine reds and purples. I also love coral and lime greens, but had to make a choice and lime green and coral don't really fit with everything else. Here is a picture of some of my color choices Hope this has helped....See MoreWall color - natural tan or accessible beige?
Comments (25)Totally understand the dilemma of trim that “came With the house” repainting trim is expensive If the color on the walls in the pic above the latte pic is natural tan, i don’t mind it. But I do see some green undertones in the natural tan swatch which is why it might be making your trim look yellowish. On the wall in that pic though i see what you mean by bluish dirty gray. I don’t dislike the color, but i see how it’s not what you were going for. By cut it, i mean make it 60%. Tell the Sherwin will people and they‘ll know exactly what you mean. Decreasing the darkness/depth will increase the light reflective value. Accessible beige at full “strength“ will be dark like the latte. You want half strength or 60% accessible beige. Show them the depth of natural tan and tell them you want accessible beige at that depth. they will know better than me what percentage will get you the same depth. They do it for me all of the time. They can make a little 4 dollar can for you to try. Also, off the top of my head, i think sherwin Williams worldly Gray might look nice. Try grab the Sample card of that while you’re in there. It’s a really really pretty color and the right depth....See More

last year@jestermom I love the MSI Glossy Herringbone backsplash, I think it’s perfect with Ironsbridge. I was afraid a bright white backsplash wasn’t going to match, but it matches perfectly.
As for SW Alabaster, if you are looking for a warm white, then you will be happy with that color. Keep in mind that custom cabinets usually have a Varnish finish which will add a yellow tint. If I were to redo it with a brighter white, I probably would have gone with BM Simply White or Chantilly Lace. We also don’t have any natural light, so our lights needed to be changed out to help make my cabinets look brighter.
Here’s a photo comparison of SW Alabaster with the varnish finish cabinet next to regular painted trim.
