New builder What to do

17 years ago

My fiance and I are fortunate enough to be building our first home. Throughout the process we have had numerouse discussions about kitchen colors. We have decided to go with an antique white cabinet plan and a light tan, almost cream, colored wall. We are also having hardwood floors put in. Could we get some suggestions on what to do for a counterop (light/dark) and what to do with the color of our hard wood floors? we were thing sand color cooutnertop, off white cabinets and a maple floor... but we dont know.

Thanks

Sounds like the two of you are doing well so far! Have you looked at the Finished Kitchens Blog yet? There are hundreds of gorgeous kitchens to look at. Make notes on what catches your eye. I found that I kept being drawn back to the same things over & over again.

We ended up with off-white cabinets, stained maple floors, dark granite (Uba Tuba) and bright green walls. It makes me happy...and that's the important thing. :o)

Here's a pic of our kitchen right after we moved in. The panels aren't on the appliances yet. It's changed a bit since then, but you get the idea.

Check out typhoon bordeaux granite. Our color scheme is similar to yours and there are several photos on gardenweb if you do a search!

Need some color with the backsplash/pendants, maybe?
