Do You Have Any Idea What Color Paint This Island Is? pic.
Comments (8)kitchendetective, Here's exactly what the decorator told me: "The paint and stains inquired about are custom finishes sold exclusively with our cabinetry (not sold in stores). We would be happy to look at your plans and assist you with the kitchen design and components. Thank you again for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you! Thank you." chips4000, did you try to duplicate the stain on the cabinets also? Any hints on what it might be? Thank you for the paint "recipe!!!" Also, I couldn't get into your link you sent. Thank you!...See MoreWhat color should my island be?
Comments (13)I have to agree that using both those stones would be too much going on. I would pick one or the other, for perimeter or island, and then pick a solid for the other and a different floor. Or, just use one of the stones on everything, and a simpler floor. Keeping it simple keeps things from fighting with one another for attention. Here's a lovely kitchen with just white cabinets and the River White all around. And a nice wood floor. I love this look. Light and airy, easy on the eyes. I couldn't find your exact stones but this gives you an idea of what you were suggesting. Notice they kept the island the same color as other cabs. Here's something similar to what you were suggesting, though the island top and counter are reversed. However, it still gives you an idea. Now imagine this with a busy tile floor. It's a lot to look at. ;) Hope this helps!...See MoreWhite dove cabinets, taj mahal, what color for 2 islands/bar?
Comments (11)I have travertine floors, though not in my kitchen. They have a lot of pattern and several colors, though mine do not have a pink hue that some travertine has. You have 2 islands and a bar and travertine floors and outer cabinets in White Dove. Now you are adding Taj Mahal--a dramatic stone--and a second color of cabinets. That is a whole lot going on. Are you sure? While I think Taj Mahal is beautiful, I am not sure how it will look with travertine floors. Can you post a photo of your current kitchen? Those counters will be very expensive....See MoreWhat Color for Island?
Comments (4)I vote to leave it. I think you need more assertive stools and pendants (and pendants better spaced across the work area) so that you have something to look at other than the cabinets....See More
