I would do the organic white with that backsplash.Just so you know just because you have a MCM house doesn’t mean all the spaces have to be in that style I have a MCM house that I love but my kitchen is really 21 st century as the 50’s kitchens sucked in many ways.I would have done cararra marble counters in mine but I have a huge fireplace that is in my LR and kitchen that is all the stone I think I need

I am havng trouble posting pics too.

The tiles are amazing :) and I love the colour of your maple light cabinets with these choices I like the look of the caesarstone concrete (if I have the right colour below)

It will be a stunner of a kitchen!

Hi Ponyboat, no I found it on a general search in the Internet for teal chevron tile backsplash :)

Have a quick peep here

Hi Ponyboat, how is your counter selection going :)

I usually do not do grey as it is so overused the past few years, however yours is light & gives the look of concrete which I love. I adore the choices you have made for cabinets, backsplash, floors & counters (great either in white or light grey.) Kudos to you. I love MCM.

I really like white with this combination of elements, especially with that tile and with already having grey floors. In particular, the one you linked above would look verh MCM from a distance while having the feel of modern luxury stone up close.

just my two cents tho'

My vote is for the darker grey looking forward to seeing how it all progresses :)

Gray- the horizontal surfaces in the same color.

Regarding your whitewashed walls for your den, if you use a gray rather than white, you will avoid pink walls. See this link for designer Sarah Richardson's cottage. http://www.sarahrichardsondesign.com/getinspired/tips/2013/05/28/paint-it-whitewash

Bette P, that's a great article. The link didn't work for me, but googling sarah richardson paint it whitewash did. Thanks!

Thanks, we did use a grey based stain for the whitewash, and it still turned out pinkish. But I am going to do another coat and get it a little less transparent. Hard to tell but here is a photo of the walls now, before we apply another coat.

I have gotten some new tile samples for the floor, and have my final contenders all in different shades of a concrete look. I am set on the backsplash tile (that is half of the chevron of the Island Stone Palm glass in Spring), and pretty sure I am set on the light maple cabinet in a slab (I am showing the natural maple in these photos too and open to opinions on that). But here are the combinations of three floor tiles by Porcelanosa - the shades are Caldera, Export, and Aluminio. The counters are down to two (i took the white out of contention), which are Lagos Azul or Gascogne Blue Quartz. I feel like the Gascogne may fade too much into the maple cabinetry, same for the lighter alumnio flooring. But I would love opinions on this final palette as I feel I have finally narrowed it down! FYI I absolutely LOVE the Caldera rusty concrete look tile, but don't want it to clash with my MCM style and the whitewashed pine.

If you stay with the original drawings from your other post, you have a lot of wall to cover. It's a beautiful tile, and very dramatic, especially in a big space.

Both lagoon and spring are beautiful tiles- just me but I get a more MCM vibe from lagoon- I think it's a teal thing :)

spring will be fab with your wood I love your choice of the light maple rather than the natural.

If your adjoining floors are dark, and you don't have a lot of light, I would consider the lighter Aluminio concrete tile for the floor and Gascogne Blue Quartz for the counter. If you put those three samples together on their own, do they complement your surrounding space? I just love your backsplash choice.

I know it's a bathroom...but the aqua makes it sing! I can imagine your backsplash in the 2nd photo too. Do you know if you are doing white grout in the backsplash? That's another 'color' to consider.

I'd probably do a white quartz to brighten things up and since the grout will likely be white. I don't think that is one of your options now but the other choices feel sort of heavy and industrial to me, less MCM.

perhaps it's the difference of the back splash tile colours....but for me the Aqua tile seems to want the rusted floor tile, and the lighter grey counter top to work with the maple

While the teal tile works with the concrete look floor, and a darker countertop

Hi just popped in to see how you are getting on?

Hi Ponyboat

you don't have to go with a white countertop- especially as you don't really like white. Can you post pics of your current choices?

What did you end up choosing?

Oh, how terrible! Living without a kitchen is a challenge even when everything goes smoothly. I can't imagine how you must feel.

Hang in there -- the pain will be counted in weeks, but you'll love this fun kitchen for years!!

So glad the flooring at least is in!

No consolation at the moment, but your kitchen will be fab once done :)

please post some pics..... I would love so see how your beautiful kitchen turns out........
