light gray

White would be more timeless

oh yes go for another boring white kitchen

Why are you changing the existing wood? Keep it! Wood cabinets are showing strong in the trends.

Thanks. I decided to go for white perimeter and island cabinets in a soft grey that will pull some of the blue grey veining from the marble slab. I have never really loved wood cabinets and don’t care too much about trends unless I really like them so I’m out of my realm going for what is “in” now. When I do like something I usually like it for a long time. Hoping that’s not too much white but the space is quite dark so it needs as much light as it can get.
I am reconsidering the light fixtures though. Thoughts on them?

If you like brass I would go for something slightly cleaner, like this:

Are you looking for extra light over your island or will you have recessed lighting to take care of that and these are more decorative? If that is the case, the above won't give off much light.

Well, after too much stress and a time constraint, I decided to just go with all white traditional and timeless. It’s a lot of white so I may eventually change the island color but for now I think it turned out pretty nice. I have a few touch ups needed (like patching the hole in the ceiling). It’s a late update but better late than never. I also wish I had insisted on a longer island. It’s not very functional for eating with 3 kids. It’s kind of squished.

It’s lovely! The blue paint adds a splash of color too, I don’t think it’s too white.

looks great. I love the blue accents. not too fond of the stools since I think that style belongs more in a country/western/industrial type of style.

here's where I would consider wood for a bit of warmth

if you did these, I'd paint them a rich navy

What is the blue paint on your kitchen walls...it is lovely.

It is Benjamin Moore “Feather Grey”
It is definitely a blue more than grey in our space but I really like it. Kind of an icy blue so it ties in well with our countertops which I chose because they reminded me of a melting glacier.

Beth H - I agree about the stools. Didn’t use these in fact I had some dark brown big heavy barstools with full backs and I traded them with the local woman for these. I don’t think I will keep them but for now at least they can go up and down and they don’t take as much space. My husband hates them! I just haven’t found the right stools for the space I guess. I would like adjustable, swivel and kid friendly but not too big and clunky
