BM weimaraner might look nice with both the wood(if it's not too orangey) and the black- we have that on the walls in our master bed and it looks very nice with dark wood (not black) furniture. i don't think i would love chocolate sheets with black furniture...

thanks! Hi Linelle, it's the wall colour that's got a green undertone to it. I like herbflavor's idea of the bluey white (I guess teal-y white if there is yellow in the formula?), although I have other blue things like curtains, textiles and plates that might add balance... I was thinking I would do a monochromatic yellow/caramel/white palette with the main elements. But when I cover up the walls with my hand and imagine the blue-y white, it looks really nice... Yes, I have a stainless fridge and stove. I have the BM paint deck. Is there a way to tell from the paint chips what colours are in the formula?

I have the metallic gray Blanco Supersingle from Home&Stone, so I can't speak to how the anthracite looks day to day. I can help a little on your other questions. 1)Cons? Nothing I've found...really. I DO tend to think twice about what chemicals it is exposed to, but that is because it's my favorite part of the kitchen next to my faucet. They are the only high-end things in there, so I make a small effort to take care of them. We have very hard, chemical filled water here and I get deposits around my faucet handles. We have laminate counters so did a drop-in. The deposits do come off really easily, so I think the sink HELPS in this instance since it's so easy to clean. 2)Care...they do recommend using certain cleaners for their sink. I use dish soap and a scrubby sponge. Once a week (or maybe less often:) I use Barkeeper's Friend, but I don't see the dramatic difference in cleanliness like I would a SS sink. It always looks good. I don't rinse paintbrushes in it but everything else is cleaned in there. I'm that way with my chrome faucet too, though. I only use a microfiber cloth to clean it, per the manufacturer's recommendation. 3) DIY? Most certainly! DH and I did it ourselves and it was our first time EVER to install a sink. The worst part was putting in the clips to hold it, since there isn't much room under there. Trying to fit our hands in the tight space was the problem, the sink was lightweight and easy to manuever. When I was shopping, I was absolutely sure I wanted SS. I had even picked out the Ticor model and was waiting for the size to become available. Because of the rave reviews, I reluctantly looked at the silgranit. I ordered it mostly because of the price and the size, not because I really wanted this brand/material. The minute I opened the box, I fell in love. It feels so good to the touch, the matte finish is wonderful. Pictures don't do it justice, they are really lovely sinks. I am so lucky the SS model wasn't available, because I KNOW this sink was absolutely the best choice for me. I freakin' love it! I have a SS prep sink and am chomping at the bit to change it out to silgranit, which I'll do when I change out my countertop. The nice thing about mine is that it works as drop-in and undermount, so I'll be able to keep it after our mini-remodel of the kitchen.

Bump. I really would like to get some replies as I haven't done my bathroom yet because I'm feeling stuck on what I should do. Anybody?
