IMO, the cabs and furniture need to coordinate, but not necessarily match. For example, we have white perimeter cabinets in the kitchen with merlot colored hood & island. Kitchen is open to family room with 2 built-ins in a slightly off white color. Cubbies are just around the corner from kitchen and can be seen through the doorway--they are also slightly off white. There is enough distance between the whites that you don't notice they don't match--they just coordinate. Our master bedroom furniture has a mahogany finish with antiqued gold pulls, the master bath has espresso vanities with antique pewter pulls and you can see from one room into the other. Again, they are just far enough apart that you really don't notice the difference & they coordinate. Stained furniture can be coordinated with painted vanities/cabinets & vice versa. Unless you're planning something totally outlandish, I think you'll be just fine. Hope this helps!

Warning - this is an old post! @juddgirl2 - i was wondering if you would post post photos of your bathroom/bedroom. I’m trying to finalize things fir my master bathroom/master bathroom renovation and would love to see what colors you chose. I’m planning on using Mapei Warm Gray for my carrara marble - your Custom Platinum looks nice though! Hmmm … . What grout color did you use for your slate floors? My slate tile has been installed - will be grouted soon. I am pretty sure that I know which color grout I’m using - just would love to see whatever you did just in case I like it better! 😆 Also, I’m thinking about purchasing some porcelain blue shams/throw from Pottery Barn to use as an accent color in my bedroom. Quiet Moments is one of my top choices for paint - did you wind up selecting it or Chelsea Gray? Wow - it looks like I’m stalking you!

Matte can be hard to live with. It often has a hazy look to it that is CHEMICAL in nature. To keep it from being shiny, an additive is put into the finish that, in certain lighting (mornings/evenings) will look hazy. Even on lighter floors, this will happen. And then there are the skin oils that will appear shinier than the finish. Again, at certain times of the day (mornings/evenings) will be highly visible. No amount of sweeping will get rid of them. Only a damp mopping with a degreaser or Windex. And then they come back as soon as someone steps on them with bare feet/stocking feet. Semi-gloss or satin are easier to live with. If you like a bit of gloss (not too much) then the satin is the better option. If you like a goodly amount of shine, then the semi-gloss is your choice.

Will you be able to post photos? Neo-Classical lines, a dash of Hollywood glamour, finished in glossy lacquer/ polished nickel accents/ oversized acrylic knobs.
