I would do gray or blue IF you like those colors in general and if they go with your other rooms. I wouldn't do them just because they are the 'in' colors.

I love that blue but I'm not sure I could ever do it myself. I think grey would be lovely. My SIL has a gray island with her white cabinets and it looks amazing.

Sorry about the fire! Hopefully no one was injured. Do what you like! Trendy or not-who cares! It's your kitchen and you have to look at it every day! Something that makes you happy when you walk in their. I personally think the blue is really clean looking with the white and it's something different! Good luck!

down the road the island can be painted to match the perimeter, or another color, so no worries.

love def think I will do the grey !
