What color Silgranit sink should I get?
Comments (5)I'd vote black (anthracite). White would look nice with your cabinets and give it that farm sink feel, but black would make it sort of disappear AND I think it would be easier to take care of. I have dark granite and a black siligranit sink and I love the way they go together. Personally I don't like the metallic gray siligranit, I think it looks like it's trying to look like SS, and I hate SS sinks! Just my 2 cents Good luck!...See MoreShould I paint my dark cherry cabinets or get new countertop?
Comments (20)okay..so so far I understood to you the granite is a biggest issue then..change for quiter countertop surface you love(but you need to decide whether you're changing color/stain of the cabinets. since they have to correlate, colorwise). different backsplash. quieter surface will give you more freedom with backsplash too. different pulls(unless you like the ones you chose) Learn pros/cons of your preffered countertop material in advance..Quartz is not bulletproof..(as granite isn't too. none of them are-everything will have pros/cons) for example, I love mitered edge more than rounded-but more possibility it might chip. Find as much as you can about every material you're going to install. If you do decide to paint/re-stain (and no, I'm not advocating white, like, at all)-it should be a pro job(unless you're willing to do it yourself..and know how, and will take lots of time) and yes, it'll chip too if say a fork falls or a knife and bangs onto it)) everything might chip-but on stain you'll see it less/will be less bothered in short learn as much as you can about what you'll be working with..and check your own tolerance to imperfections I can't see your kitchen fully..maybe you won't need any seams. if you do though-you'll see it to a degree on quiter light Quartz. not a biggie but first several days one can't keep eyes off that seam)) then one gets used to. backsplash-whatever will be-decide where you finish it(I'd do lower bottom cabinet level) and how. every guy/gal you'll talk to-being it a store or your GC or installer or..-ask questions. Don't presume they know you don't know..some will educate you, some won't. Ask everything.....See Morecountertop color for white cabinets and walnut red undertone floor?
Comments (2)Floors tend to recede a bit., but The issue may be that it is busy compared to some typical hardwoods. ....Cream cabinets.....I’d start w something w flecks as opposed to large movement. It would probably be beige/ coppers / browns / I would avoid yellow/ golds....really depends. There may be a perfect granite out there. Can you get admission to the stone yards these days ? In answer to your question I think the colors in the floor will be acceptable as you work w cream cabs which is your starting position , but the “busy -ness “ of the floor may be a factor....See MoreWhat color should I paint walls and cabinet with creamish countertop?
