Forgot to add the backsplash is white arabesque tile.. ? :)

Can anyone out there visualize this all for an obviously hardcore gardenweb lurker?

Alright, I'll rewrite your message with images so it's easier to follow.

Ok, so some insight would be helpful on this complicated kitchen I think I am putting together.

Inspiration Kitchens:

Three-color-cabinets thread

Inspiration is above.

I want to do a mix of offwhite cabinets with quartersawn oak.

My cabinets are from scherr's.

This is the door:
Door at Scherr's

Picture of the door, in the wrong color stain:

This is the 3-d render of the layout:

The doors are to be stained "Weathered Teak" from Sherwin Williams..

But please look at the bannister beige on that page, because thats the color it actually comes out.

I was thinking the perimeter of the kitchen to be offwhite. I am looking at Benjamin Moore, Dune White or Grey Mist.

I then thought the door panels on the fridge/freezer to be oak, but uppers about the cook top to be oak and the beverage station (which is on the opposite wall) to be oak, along with all the lowers. The uppers to be the off-white along with the pantry, the oven unit and the cabinets about the fridge/freezer.

The crown is white, not oak like the render.

I wanted to bring in a third color in the island. I am looking at Mount Saint Anne or Beach Glass (BM).

The counters will be soapstone, except the baking (lower section) which will be callacutta marble.

I am looking at using horton brass in antique bronze for pulls and bin pulls /appliance pulls.

OK, so my questions.
1. Will this work? I am using basically chips to put it all together as I dont have sample doors in the colors I am ordering.

2. Wall color? Same as the uppers?

3. White color. Sand Dune or Grey Mist. Or something else?

4. Island color. Blue or Green or stay with oak because its safer?

5. Too mishmash of colors between the oak and the white?

6. Floors? Wood? Tile? yikes.

7. Opinions on edge profiles on doors?

Thank you. I was not sure how to do that :/

What do you want the focal point to be? All the pieces seems to be competing for attention as it is now.

The first thing that jumped out at me when I looked at your 3-D rendering is the refrigerator. I am guessing that you do not want it to be the focal point of the room. I would change it to white so it blends into that wall.

Because your layout doesn't separate the upper from the lower cabinets, I think a one color perimeter would work better. Or highlight the cooktop and hood only in the wood finish. Then use your third color on the island and possibly white on the baking area. I can't see enough of your other wall to comment on what would work there. Hopefully you could bring in more of the wood finish to complement the cooktop/hood.

You are going to have a beautiful kitchen when it is done. I envy your island!

I like the overall idea of what you want to do, but honestly don't like how you've mixed the oak in haphazardly and so often in the upper area... Which I think is an answer to your question #4. I'd like the crown to stay the color of the cabinets. The hood cabinet can be oak and with oak trim, but having the fridge doors in oak in the midst of all the white doesn't make sense for me. There should be a more natural split to your colors, IMO.

The island in a darker stain or another color should be fine if you calm down the perimeters by not alternating the colors so much.

Edge profiles on doors are a personal preference. Mine is to keep things simple... So I'd do a minimal round-over, so they look square. But square and beefy is the way I always lean in such decisions.

Choose your floors by function first... Tile is hard on backs and legs, if that's a concern to you. Wood is more comfortable, but maybe more work and less bulletproof. For color, I'd make sure there's some amount of contrast between it and the oak cabinets.... A little darker or another color.

The inspiration pic you show has what little wall space in the same color as the upper cabs. If you like it, go for it. If you want more depth, you could choose a darker color on the same paint chip strip.

Thank you for the feedback.

It is nice to know that others think that it looks a little mishmash too but I didnt know how to pinpoint it.

I NEED an oak fridge.. 3 kids in and out and if it was white I would lose my mind.

So, I think I have come up with a better plan. I am going to turn all the lowers white except where the cooktop is. Upper and Lower there in Oak. The Fridge will stay Oak. gasp.

The Crown is white, except there the oak cabinet is bumped up. It was a problem with the render program hating mixing colors.

I am going to do my Island Oak too.. and then the baking center will be the only place with beach glass paint. Which makes sense probably too because it will have the marble top as opposed to the rest.

Does that option make you cross your eyes less ;)

Well, I like the cabinet colors a lot better, in your new plan...but the sink is opposite the oven. Would it be better to have the sink closer to the cooktop and the baking area on the other side? Are you having seating on the other side?

Am I the only one, who thinks the baking center location, might be a problem? If so, ignore and carry on! :)

I have another sink in the other wall that you can't see, with a window.. that will be closer to the cooktop. The baking center is also my prep center, which I thought would be good across from the cooktop?

There is a dishwasher to the right of the sink in the island, and its all plumber/electrical so I cant really change it now. :/ I thought the over hang to the left (facing sink) of the dishwasher, along the back side would give us good seating (3 kids)..

Unless I am missing something. :)
