The attached pics are what I've chosen for my kitchen design, minus the dresser. The color of the dresser - a blended chalk paint is really floating my boat, other than the fancy hardware. But would the color/style go with the other choices? If so, would turquoise or light mint or aqua be an ok accent color?

Or these colors?

I prefer the second choice

Thanks, Stephanie.

Thanks, Claire. That's reassuring. :)

If it's not clear,

1st pic - countertop

2nd pic - floor

3rd pic - potential cabinet color

4th pic - backsplash.

What's tripping me up is this ribbon I have that's a gorgeous turquoise with silver thread. I was thinking of using it to trim white curtains and accent with turquoise. But then I came across this chalk painted dresser. I love it. It has duck eggs blue blended in

Ahhh! But I also have pale mint and aqua ideas for other rooms.

I love all of your choices. What I meant was for color I pick your 2nd choice for decor. The pic with the yellow yarn. What are you planning for your backsplash.

Got it, thanks. The carrara marble stacked mosaic in Pic 4 for the backsplash. I have the tile, it's just not installed yet. So I can change my mind again! Haha.

Yeah, it doesn't go at all.

I wouldn't use a natural stone backsplash with the man-made counter, in this particular iteration. A pretty porcelain/ceramic tile that brings in the colors you like would be the focus. With medium stained or painted cabs that let the tile shine. I'm not sure who is going to be able to give you that finish on cabinets but, if you find someone then make them the focus and have a subdued backsplash with the countertop.

Pick one star and make the other elements supporting players.

This backsplash and the countertop I have look amazing together. You can absolutely put them together as long the pattern variation don't fight each other. It's nonsense to say you can't put marble with a man-made product. Ceramic is man-made and paired with marble. Stainless steel is paired with marble.

I can paint the cabinets myself.

It does go together if you're skeptic about the tile how about a small scale of the chevron.

That's really cool, Claire. I think it would go with my countertops really well, but it reads even more modern. My cabinets are traditional with an inset on the doors. The inset curves at the top

I'm shooting for "modern farmhouse." A little bit country, a little bit rock-n-roll.

It can also read as a transitional farmhouse as well. I made a quick visual but the cabinets aren't traditional. One has cambra marble.

I sew a lot, and it may be just my opinion, but the ribbon that you show seems very dressy for a kitchen, not 'farmhouse'. But I think you've changed your mind on the turquoise accent?

My3dogs, yes I’ve changed my mind on the turquoise, or at least this ribbon. :) Yes, I agree. With chalk painted cabinets I don’t care for the ribbon with it. But if the cabinets were solid white and the walls pale turquoise, I’d like it. I just don’t want white. In my experience white cabinets don’t hold up as well. Pale gray may work. But again, this ribbon would be like putting chrome next to brushed nickel. ;) When I say farmhouse, I’m not going for full out farmhouse look. Just a nod.

It's nonsense to say you can't put marble with a man-made product

I didn't say "never", just this particular combo wasn't what I'd do. You didn't indicate that it was a done deal. Sorry I responded to your query about your elements.

That’s cool, Alex. It’s your opinion. But it’s not what I asked. I asked if the backsplash would work with the paint effect on the dresser, not whether it would work with the counters. (No one has given their opinion on that.) I think it works very well with the counters because of the split-face pieces in the backsplash. But it’s all subjective.

This is what I’m leaning towards:

None of the pics are completely accurate color wise because of lighting. But to get an idea. I just wasn’t sure about what to do with the cabinets.
