You are the victim of wood overload. And it is all the same tone that fades into each other in one brown blob. And then the floors are the same color too. Paint those maple cabinets, and do a counter that brings in the white of the fireplace. No more wood anywhere!

You have grain/pattern/movement in the maple, pine and saltillo tiles. I would suggest simple white quartz counters in the same tone as the fireplace. You can bring color into the kitchen with accessories such as towels, serving pieces, window treatment, art or even canisters. We don't see the adjoining spaces, but if you have rugs and art there, select your kitchen accent color from the things you already have and love.

I am not a log home lover but I like that all the wood is the same tone IMO a nice green soapstone would be my choice then add what ever color you want for accessories

I would use soapstone

Can you find something very similar to the Cambria you posted, but with some white in it? Love your woody cabin vibe.

I think you need contrast to the wood, but I would go light rather than dark. Either solid white quartz, or maybe one of these from cambria, to tie in with the wood tones, and then use a solid white backsplash.

Look at the maple kitchen pictures here and contrast all the different tops for the feeling you want .. .

I know you said you wanted quartz counters... someone else recommended soapstone and that would look beautiful. We looked into soapstone too but we couldn't find anything in our area that wasn't greenish. We ended up with steel gray brushed granite. It has some blue undertones and gives me the natural feel I had wanted from soapstone. It mostly looks dark neutral gray.

For instance, in the primary living area, do you see shades of gray, yellow and white? Navy / blues? Red and white and black like a classic Navajo rug would bring?"

Your both have gotten me to think bigger. I have native-american weavings and pottery that will be decorating the house. The Navajo rugs are in the red Ganado style. And the pottery is from various pueblos in New Mexico. Some very similar examples to what I own are below:

So now I am thinking about how to incorporate these colors into our kitchen design. Thank you for your suggestions and reminding me to think of the big picture.

Then the logical color for the cabinets is a great barn red. Looks great with the wood. And a white counter.

I would go white Quartz all the way and give it a more Scandinavian rustic look..with all neutrals...gorgeous!

or a soft neutral granite or Quartz no dark colors.

Use dark colors like navy,black and red for accessories,pillows and throws

We agree that Cambria Bristol Blue would create a powerful contrast to the wood. If you want to go light and gentler, Bianco River would be a good choice. However, our choice would definitely be Rain Forest. This quartz seems like a perfect addition to a log cabin and will definitely help create hygge concept and feel to it.

You will have a beautiful cabin. And cabins should have a lot of wood. I suggest either soapstone, more grey with not too much veining or all white to go with your fireplace. However I want to throw something different at you as well. Had this sample and it looks amazing with maple cabinets. Mainly bright white with recycled glass in amber and grey and white tones. It would tie everything together and give the space a little sparkle with all the wood. At the end you just need to see it in your room with your materials and light. Good luck!

I love this one that Envision posted

Its very pretty, but not the right vibe for a southwest cabin. Back in the day, hand painted mexican tile would rock it. It still could.

I agree Kjoy1..love the light Quartz with glass bottle speaks in it! Keep it light

Agree, keep it light. You could tire of the blue quickly, unless you and your family love, love, love blue and as other have said, plan to use it repeatedly.

Do I see an island to the right or is this a peninsula? If you have an island you could just do a different counter top on that all together. I still like the Amber quartz I suggested earlier. Maybe perimeter in that and island in a solid grey tone. Or vice versa. Your cabinets are Shaker style full overlay, maybe even frameless, hard to see, which gives your space a little modern/ transitional feel, not to rustic. You don't have to go all typical cabin, southwestern to make this place unique. Just follow what makes you feel good. We will never set a foot in it, but you will.

I love all the wood, it's a classic style. You want some visual relief on the countertops. The blue doesn't do well with the wood and isn't cohesive. The third photo shows a busier pattern. I would stay with a deeper colored solid.

Soapstone would look very cohesive and fit the log cabin vibe. As suggested, southwestern homes use Mexican/red toned tile on counters. The red would do very well with the gold tones in the wood.

Please do not pick the blue one. As it seems any log style home built before 2000 have either green or blue counter tops. Those counter tops look so dated! Much more exciting ideas offered here by the gang.

We went to a Cambria distributor this morning and looked at samples of every color in the catalog. We then picked out the four colors that we liked best and looked at full size slabs. We looked at 2 of the white colors that were suggested here but neither caught our fancy. And we still liked Bristol Blue. But found a new color that we really liked: Blackwood.

Cambria describes Blackwood thus, "Flecks of gold, cream and blue glisten across a shroud of black, much like this village that sits atop Scotland’s picturesque Clyde Valley, where two rivers converge below. Dramatic, yet classically neutral."

To our eye the stone looks black but with hints of the colors of our wood and tile. The black is a really good contrast and the hints of our other colors seems to tie it all together.

How does this color palette look to other people's eyes?

Disappointed..if you are going dark than just do black honed granite

Exactly what I was going to say (without the honed)....absolute black granite will be a good contrast with the wood without locking you in with a definite color like blue.

Black granite is one of the most dense and durable stones and also less expensive than quartz. It doesn't even need sealing.

The honed leathered top with give it a mat finish instead of polished and you won't see all the fingerprints and smears from wiping it down..also a more casual look with log interior.

I think it looks very nice with the gold flecks!

Here are two photos with similar color cabinets and your Cambria choice.
I am not a big fan of black counters and most people I know regret choosing them later on. Nevertheless I think your choice looks nice.

Did you see this log home that was recently featured on houzz...they used a local slate counter. What I like about it the most is the matte finish...

I love the matte counters as well. It just gives it that nice organic feel. I personally used a honed Caesar stone in Lagos Blue on my bar top and perimeter and a polished sparkly one for my main Island top. I love my honed top. In know my kitchen is completely different than yours, but you get to see my honed quartz.
