That thundercloud is an awesome color. Try that. Before you start changing things, please get a cohesive plan. What do you want the end product to be? Putting new countertops on old cabinets can look like putting lipstick on a pig. Best to know what the end result will be, then you can make informed decisions. And not come back here with a HELP me correct my errors!!! I don't think your flooring will support a white quartz. I think it may have too much beige in it.

We have red oak (natural finish) hardwood floors and all the rooms have a lot of natural light. We painted our large master bedroom with BM Oxford White and it looks crisp and modern. Downstairs we still have old paint Cloud White (with yellow undertone) and it looks pretty bad with the floors. White walls look best in large rooms. http://www.janelockhart.com/blog/which_white_is_right_white_paint_walls/

We need pictures and of the surrounding spaces too.

Ooh, I like the Skipping Stone color! Thanks, everyone, for your great ideas! I was thinking a white or eggshell leather sofa/sectional -- my dining table is dark with warm white denim slipcovered chairs -- would that be weird?
