hello,

Would you mind posting a photo of your countertops? Unless they are changing they will have a big say in color, both for your cabinets and wall color. You're off to a good start! --Jen

I'd paint them. Either a nice neutral gray, or if you are bold enough, a soft sage green to compliment your art & the border on your dining rug.

Oops - nevermind - I just noticed your walls are yellow. Paint them white.

You can't go wrong with white cabinets. We're about to paint ours as well.

I agree with the others. Pull out the lightest color in the granite, which, from here looks like a light grey or white, and use it to guide your cabinet colors. You're on your way! --Jen

You do want an off white though to make it look the best - and in the undertone of your granite - one shade deeper than trim is ideal .. around LRV 65 will look the most sophisticated

@libradesigneye Newbie question - What is LRV65?

I googled it: http://thelandofcolor.com/lrv-light-reflectance-value-of-paint-colors/

LRV is the acronym for Light Reflectance Value. As mentioned, LRV is on the back of most color swatches and in the index of all major brands’ fandecks. Value is often confused with the term intensity. Intensity is about vividness or dullness – is the color clear or muted. Value is an important term used in color and it speaks strictly to the lightness or darkness of a color.

BM White Dove for example?

Hi, click on these pics below.....maybe this Houzz project will inspire you?

This designer is one of my faves in Houzz too....have admired that artwork since seeing it in this project. And the drum shade pendant light she uses in several of her projects has been on my wish list for months now, lol. ;-)
