I am about to move into our new house and I’m remodeling the kitchen in the meantime. I have chosen (against all rationality) to use marvel for our countertops because I haven’t found anything that I love as much as marble and I love the look of it even when it’s old and beat up.
I’m going to go for a white Carrera with grey veining. I can’t decide whether I should do white cabinets around the perimeter and charcoal grey cabinets for the island (which we are making quite a bit longer). Or a soft grey for all cabinets.
We are building out some more cabinetry and going to build them up to the ceiling. We will also be Converting the current built-in desk to a beverage bar and coffee mug/china storage above. We will also be adding a built-in desk area on The other side of that funky little wall that currently ends the kitchen so that it flows nicely into the family room area that is open and runs into to the kitchen.

Wall color of course will change according to kitchen choices.
