Don't do the grey on the flooring unless you truly love it. I feel it's super trendy right now, and you may want to stick with something classic for floors. Maybe a nice subway tile in a blueish grey color for the backsplash?

I'm always concerned about white marble counters in the Kitchen. It looks great but just like all marble, is much more porous than other materials and subject to staining. However, if you don't cook much, it's do-able. Be sure to seal it A LOT and often. It gets really mad if you get soda, red wine, vinegar or tomato sauce on it. As for the backsplash question, there are many from Waterworks that would look amazing - consider carved mosaics. Maybe use the carerra tile in the splash and a blue-ish gray soapstone for the counter? I would start on their website. www.waterworks.com

I would also avoid going gray on the floors. The contrast of a rich, medium-tone on the floors will look great against those cabinets - making the gray (a cool color) pop and emphasize the marble countertops.

For the backsplash, you could continue the carrara in a herringbone or brick pattern. Could also add a darker grout to add more visual interest.

All great ideas! I have no pictures to post as we've just begun construction. We are picking our flooring and tile next week so it's nice to have some ideas to go in with.

Not sure what a rich medium tone would be. I'm guessing a light brown?

Sure to the medium/light brown. Here is my recent reno in the kitchen with gray lowers and white uppers.

A nice natural walnut would be pretty... keep the tones similar. If your grey and white has a yellow undertone, go with a yellower / warmer floor. If it's more on the blueish side, then you can go with a floor color that is more blue based...etc. It all depends on the colors you choose to pull everything together.

I love walnut floors and as for backsplash i often wait to make that decision a little further along in the process the sam as witing to decide wall colors light can have an effect on color that you never expected and so do all the elements that you put in a room.
