I'm finally getting new cabinets. I have picked out, so far, maple spice doors. Is the countertop supposed to be lighter than the cabinets.? The one i've been looking at is a laminate called cappuccino. Very dark looking marble. The border is already gone, the light is gone,. the curtain is gone. Only thing I know is I like maple cabinets. Having trouble with knobs, appliance color and countertop.
